Malo and Tierra

Promoters, record companies, and agents, be cautious: TIERRA's ownership is in dispute (LA Superior Court, Case No. 21STCV25207). Verify details before any agreements.

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.
