On December 7, 2013 I did a concert at my alma mater, Cal
State L.A. The concert was part of the events
surrounding the "American Sabor" exhibit, which was
showing at the University. The concert had an acoustic
and an electric set. The acoustic set consisted of me
on acoustic guitar and singing six of my songs, vocally
accompanied by Geree Gonzalez on two of them, and Ernie
Hernandez and Geree on two others. Ernie and I then
backed Geree on my song "Mihijita." The
electric set was composed of eleven songs; seven of my
original songs, three of my father's (Lalo Guerrero), and an
instrumental I recorded in 1965 with my teenage band, Mark &
the Escorts. The band I
put together for my electric set is listed below:
Musicians (electric set): Mark
Guerrero (lead vocal / guitar), Ron Reyes (guitar),
Jimi Seville
(keyboard),Louis Ruiz (bass), Manny Lizardo (drums), and Marco Palos
(sax)
Vocalists (acoustic set):
Mark Guerrero (lead vocal/guitar),
Geree Gonzalez (backing vocals, lead vocal on "Mihijita"), Ernie
Hernandez (backing vocals)
