“On the Road with Rock ‘n Roll”   Golden Crest Records (1957)     Before Richie Valens, Mando and the Chili Peppers were perhaps the first Mexican-American rock & roll group.   This is their only LP, though they continued to play around their home town of San Antonio into the Sixties.     Their sound was a mix of New Orleans R&B and rock and roll.   In 2004, after nearly 40 years and out of nowhere, the band played at the Ponderosa Stomp Music Festival in New Orleans.
