- This flyer is to promote the “A lo que te truje Chencha” 2002 album by Chencha Berrinches. What is quite revealing and remarkable is the numerous listings of stores, being record or fashion establishments that carried and sold the Chencha Berrinches CD at the beginning of the 21st Century in Southern California. There are a ton of now vanished stores such as the Downtown Los Angeles, and all those rockero stores that were wiped out by the “development/Gentrification of Broadway Avenue.
Then there were stores included such as Metro Balderas in Huntington Park, Lo Machin del Rock en Vernon. Stores in (East) Hollywood and Glendale. Places like La Trova del Exceso in San Pedro, Ritmo Rock in Wilmas all in the South Bay. Plus, of course stores repping hard for the OC like Samara Musical in Santa Ana y los piratones de Pro-rock en Anaheim! The list also extends to then the exburbs of the Inland Empire such as Ontario. Y hasta una tienda en San Clemente, deep in South OC.
Most of these stores are gone, yet this list gives us a glimpse of the extended youth cultures geographies and also the neighborhoods and cities were rock Angelino and ska in its different vertientes was blubbing and emerging: which was all of Southern California where Chencha Berrinches performed aquí y allá y más allá!
