Malo

Formed in San Francisco, Latin rock band Malo, led by Arcelio Garcia and Jorge Santana, is best known for the hit "Suavecito." Their fusion of soul, rock, jazz, and Latin music, produced initially by David Rubinson, captured listeners in the early '70s. Despite dwindling popularity after their debut, "Suavecito" remains a classic. Malo collaborated with various artists over decades, released several albums, and featured in a Rhino Handmade box set.
