Yaqui was a rock band of the 70s from East L.A. whose roots went deeply back into the golden age of the East L.A. music scene of the 60s, as did many other Eastside bands of the early 70s such as El Chicano, Tierra, Macondo, and my band of the same era, Tango. Yaqui recorded and released a self-titled album, "Yaqui," on Hugh Hefner's Playboy Records in 1972 that was extremely well played, well sung, with some very good songs. Yaqui was part of a stable of artists, managed by Art Brambila, which also included Tierra and yours truly, when I was a solo artist. Art secured major record deals for all three of his artists. It was the beginning of what we all hoped would be a Chicano Motown. For various reasons that's not the way it worked out, but that story is perhaps for another time and place. The members of Yaqui were George Ochoa, lead vocals; Eddie Serrano, lead vocals; Ronnie Reyes, lead guitar; Art Sanchez, bass; Ray Rodriguez, drums; Larry Cronen, keyboards; and Rudy Regalado, timbales and percussion."
