Único album grabado por esta banda sensacional, este set en directo captura al milímetro la esencia de su latin-funk-soul fusión. Registrado en el club Plush Bunny de Los Angeles, ciudad de donde eran originarios,
The Village Callers Live incluye el celebérrimo
Hector, cuyos reconocibles breaks han sido posteriormente utilizados hasta la extenuación por numerosos dj's adeptos al género. Se incluyen además fabulosas versiones de temas conocidos:
Evil Ways de Santana,
Stoned Soul Picnic de la 5th Dimension,
The Frog de Joao Donato, incluso un extenso homenaje al repertorio de Aretha Franklin. Espero que lo disfrutéis tanto como yo.

The Village Callers: East L.A. Latin Rock Innovators
by Mark Guerrero
.......The Village Callers were born out of a band in East L.A. called Marcy & the Imperials. Marcy Alvarado was a bluesy singer, guitarist, and band leader. (Marcy went on to get a masters degree from U.C.L.A, but passed away in the late 70s.) Future Village callers Joe Espinoza and Adolfo "Fuzzy" Martinez were members. Joe Espinosa joined first as the bassist in 1960 or '61. Fuzzy joined later on. Fuzzy remembers being asked to sit in with them the first time when their regular sax player, Joe Farfan, didn't show up for a gig. (Joe Farfan later played with Thee Midniters for a time in the early 60s.) Fuzzy had to learn how to improvise on the spot because up to then he had only been a music reader in school. Other members of Marcy & the Imperials were Art Guzman on guitar, Richard Sanchez on sax (who later became a journalist for the L.A. Times), and Kenny Roman on drums. Kenny, who joined Marcy & the Imperials as a 13 year old phenom, later was the founding drummer with Tierra. Kenny Roman was a dynamo who played with great technique and power on Tierra's debut album in 1972....
