Description:
Join photographer and co-curator Piero F. Giunti and musician David Gomez for a look behind the scenes at the incredible new exhibit at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes celebrating East Los Angeles music—A Great Day in East L.A. The sound of East Los Angeles is known around the world, from early pioneers like Lalo Guerrero, Richie Valens and Thee Midniters, to the soulful groove of El Chicano and Tierra, to classic punk bands like The Brat, The Plugz and Los Illegals, the roots rock of Los Lobos and newer innovators like Ozomatli, Quetzal and Chicano Batman.
The exhibition showcases dozens of portraits of East L.A. bands taken by award-winning photographer and filmmaker Piero F. Giunti, as well as a lovingly curated galaxy of albums, instruments, flyers, posters, stage costumes, band t-shirts, lyric sheets, videos and much more. Piero and David Gomez, who played in many East L.A. bands including Slowrider, give us a personal tour through the exhibit, sharing stories and memories about the artifacts on display.
