"As a fan of latin music, I rate this as one of the top albums ever produced. By the way, I bought this album, and Pyramid of the Moon back in the 70's, which I still own. So it's time the second album is reproduced on CD. It will sell! I would also like to see all the albums by El Chicano and Malo put on CD. I have copies of those albums, but hate to wear them out. Have any influence in the recording industry? These would sell like hot cakes! or even tamales!"

AZTECA reflection of latin pride

"Those were the days. The Latino EXPLOSION in the music world. AZTECA, MALO, SANTANA, EL CHICANO, TIERRA, and SAPO. These groups gave us a sense of pride beyond description. However, they were never given the recognition or airplay they deserved. AZTECA produced a diverse sound which covered a wide-range of interest, from funk-to-soul and of course latin rythm. I was fortunate to see AZTECA (opened for Stevie Wonder) in '72 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. The show was awesome. Tough for Stevie to match. Many of those songs could be hits today. Their follow-up album proved AZTECA was not a fluke. The consistency, range, and talent thrived. Could it happen again? Maybe, maybe not. Thank GOD we have the sounds preserved for all RAZA young and old to reflect on what PRIDE sounds like."

One of the best bands in the world

"with out a doubt this was the best band I have ever heard,because nothing today can touch this great musicianship. Remember this album was from 1972.A very wonderful blend of Latin Soul and Latin Rock like Malo,Sapo,Chango, but a lot more sophisticated.This band needs recognition!! NOW!! Pyramid of the moon - is their second album and hard to get,but here in San Jose,anything is possible my friends.You should try time warp music-sales@timewarpmusic.com a specialist in very,very hard to get titles.Also the best compilation ever will come out in limited quantaties-"Back to the Barrio"-"rare and hard to find classics on cd" you should contact -chorizo records- www.chorizomusic2003@yahoo.com GOOD LUCK!!"
