From Wikipedia
Chicano rock, also called Chicano fusion, is rock music performed by Mexican American (Chicano) groups or music with themes derived from Chicano culture. Chicano rock combines multiple music styles instead of one distinct sound. Some of these groups do not sing in Spanish at all nor use many specific Latin instruments or sounds. Chicano rock draws its identity from the cultural backgrounds of its performers and reflects a wide range of musical styles.
