In the late 1960s a wave of Mexican rock heavily influenced by psychedelic and funk rock emerged in several northern border Mexican states, in particular in Tijuana, Baja California. Among the most recognized bands from this “Chicano Wave” (La Onda Chicana in Spanish), there is one in particular that was recognized by their originality. The band Love Army derived from the Tijuana Five and was formed by Alberto Isordia (aka El Pajaro), Salvador Martinez, Jaime Valle (aka El Perro), Fernando Vahaux, Ernesto Hernandez(aka El Blu), Mario Rojas (aka El Muerto)and Enrique Sida.
