¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! In honor of the hottest, wildest and trippiest section of América del Norte, how about some classic los ACIDA ROCKA? Starting with clips from the 1971 movie "Bikinis y Rock!" El Ritual! Peace And Love!! Bandido!!! ... Now how about some live footage from the Mexican Woodstock: Festival Rock y Ruedas de Avándaro-- Part 1 Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6 posted by Potomac Avenue (7 comments total) 12 users marked this as a favorite

Anybody aware of a version of Bikinis y Rock with subtitles?

I don't know if it has been translated to English, but for the tiny percentage of Spanish speaking mefites, La Contracultura en México by José Agustín is a pretty decent chronicle of what was going on in mexico at the time. It goes from Zoot Suits to Punks.

I watched several of this bands when I was a kid, they were old at the time, as old as my dad or older :). I like hearing the stories of the police raiding parties and concerts, and how one would have to go underground to hear songs about kissing a girl.
