MALDITA
VECINDAD
Latin rockers
Maldita Vecindad y Los Hijos del
Quinto Patio formed in Mexico
City in 1985; comprising
vocalist Roco, guitarists El
Pato and Sax, bassist Aldo and
drummer Pacho.
The group debuted in 1988
with a self-titled LP which
earned acclaim for its fusion of
rock, ska and Mexican folk
sounds. El Circo, widely
considered a classic in "rock en
Espanol" circles, followed in
1991, selling an astounding
600,000 in Maldita Vecindad's
native land.

Around
the same time, they appeared in
Gift, a film directed by Jane's
Addiction's Perry Farrell. After
a live LP, Gira Pata de Perro,
the group recorded a 1994 LP
with producer Bill Laswell which
remains unreleased; instead,
they resurfaced two years later
with Baile de Mascaras, followed
in 1998 by Mostros. ~ Jason
