In the late 50s and early 60s, high school kids in the migrant worker communities of Southern California had dreams of rock and roll glory. They wielded electric guitars and Farfisa organs, fusing Afro-American R&B and jump blues with the Latin rhythms of their parents. They unleashed a pop culture movement that spread across borders into Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Argentina, and Brazil. This is the story of a group of misfits and mavericks who played garage, proto-punk, surf, and psychedelic rock and roll.
