Latinopia Music Rudy Salas on Tierra from Latinopia.com on Vimeo.
Rudy and Steve Salas founded the music group Tierra in 1973. They became the chief proponents of the “Chicano sound” in music. In 1980 they had a break-out hit with “Together,” which rose to #18 on the national music charts. Here Rudy talks about how the Chicano Moratorium of 1970 inspired the group to define a new kind of music with social themes.
