MALO emerged in the early 1970’s along with many San Francisco Bay Area artists and groups to include legendary Latin Rock icon Carlos Santana. These groups, led by the global acceptance and success of “Santana”, earned great prominence and came to establish the original American music art form known as Latin Rock.
MALO Anthology artists include singer Richard Bean the co-composer and voice on the original recording of “Suavecito”, Tom Poole, Tony “El Conguero” Menjivar, Gabriel Manzo, Frank Bailey AKA Frankie B, Martin Cantu, Octaviano Cueto AKA Aki Star, and Ramiro Amador who is presently still a member of MALO.
Combined, the show features four decades of artists that were a key part of the core of the MALO music experience. The showcase maintains an element of historical authenticity due to this. The MALO Anthology showcase is comprised of a full horn and percussion compliment, and a chronological presentation of MALO vocalists and music. The show consists of up to 14-artists and is designed to accommodate requests for festivals and concerts for up to a 2-hour concert music showcase.
As an added feature music and show option of the era and area, the show may feature original Tower of Power singer Mr. Rick Stevens; the voice featured on the timeless classic “You’re Still A Young Man” and other early TOP standards.
