- This one is part of the school shows series: Cinco de Mayo Concert at at Cal State L.A. featuring: Las 15 Letras, Slowrider, Viernes 13 and Umbalaye. In some way, time period, shape or form the members of all these bands have collaborated with each other in different projects and have also been part of many other important music acts in LÁ. Previous to Las 15 Letras, Martín and Abel Sánchez along with Carlos "Guitarlos" Zepeda (Slowrider) belonged to a band called Echo Park with Guitarlos from Slowrider. Abel filled in bass duties with Viernes 13 in the mid 2000s.
David Gómez from Slowrider was part of Beck's first touring band and he is now a much sought DJ under the moniker Gomez Comes Alive. Rafa Cardenas (Slowrider) is now a much sought photographer. Conversely, Umbalaye was the last band of the sorely missed José “Crunchy” Espinosa, founding member of Ozomatli. Besides Ozomatli and Umbalaye, Crunchy also performed with Carlos Santana, Money Mark, The Black Eyes Peas and many more until his untimely death in 2011. Check some other Umbalaye videos on YouTube.
