EN ESPAÑOL El grupo Quetzal del Este de Los Ángeles y ganador del Grammy convoca una panoplia ponderosa de sonidos de su paleta urbana—rock, R&B, son jarocho mexicano, taiko japonés, batá afrocubano, y más—para crear un álbum ambicioso e ingenioso con un punto de vista social. The Eternal Getdown, su séptimo álbum, aprovecha la familia extendida de artistas de Quetzal, incluyendo a Aloe Blacc, para afirmar el poder de la música y del pueblo para comprometerse juntos en armonía creativa. 77 minutos, folleto bilingüe de 44 páginas. Este álbum es el número 46 de la serie de Folkways Tradiciones/Traditions de álbumes de música latina, producidos con el apoyo del Smithsonian Latino Center. Quetzal is an ensemble of highly talented musicians, joined for the goal of creating good music that tells the social, cultural, political, and musical stories of people in struggle. Martha Gonzalez (lead singer, percussionist, and songwriter) calls it an "East LA Chicano rock group," summing up its rootedness in the complex cultural currents of life in the barrio, its social activism, its strong feminist stance, and its rock and roll musical beginnings. Besides being a rock band, the group and its members participate in a much larger web of musical, cultural, and political engagement.
