  Speaker 1: fusing Mexican and Latin music with everything else surrounded by it,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: then dropping it into the core of all things rock
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and roll. Why even Mexican music? Well, his father was

  Speaker 1: huge local music scene. An American blues band that fit
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: right into what inspired him most, you know, B.B. King

  Speaker 1: performer that we've been talking about that has enacted a

  Speaker 1: wave of music when he joined forces with Greg Raleigh
