The growth of the Mexican recording industry in California was made possible by a cast of key promoters, store owners, and DJs. Through their promotion and distribution, these leaders helped create a rich Mexican musical ecosystem centered in Los Angeles. None was more famous than Pedro J. González, a pioneering radio host and band leader who used his platform to speak out against mass deportations of Mexicans. At the peak of his popularity, González was sent to prison on trumped up charges. He was released after appeals by public protests and two Mexican presidents. Learn more about Pedro J.
