Sapo - "Suavecito" (Live in Baldwin Park, CA)

Sapo played in a park in Baldwin Park and we felt it necessary to go and film what we could. We also got a chance to talk with frontman Richard Bean (formerly of Malo; writer/singer of "Suavecito"). Hope y'all enjoy this amazing performance.

Yes, that is my song...in a auditorium in Santa Ana CA, 1970-71...I was 11-12 years old and was a runaway from Marin County. Long story.... I was already in love with Carlos Santana. And, happened in the auditorium and heard MALO!!! HOOKED!!! I got home and have been into the Latin sound since.... So, thank you forever and ever! Music is in my heart since and still. ‼️‼️‼️🎵🎶💯💓🙏🌹👍👍👍👍

I was wondering what was the GUITARIST name was. It pushed the music up up further to the LIMITS. I really enjoy the WHOLE GROUP MUSIC.

This tune makes my day. Takes back to winterland in San Francisco, 1972. Checked out malo that evening. I'm a senior citizen now. Nevertheless, this is my song forever!

Sometimes KZbin's suggestions are right on the money. Smooth jazz Rock and Soul with a little bit of Blues.

[@robari2410]

The band was great but the singing was pathetic, sorry guys. Specially the brother with the bandana. I still love you and I enjoyed reminiscing good old times! 😊💖

[@edcrow58]

Nice guitar solo, but it does not fit with the song. It should’ve been more like a Santana solo rather than a radical shredding type solo. :-/

[@ibg4216]

Vocally im I’m speaking, he sucks. If ur not a singer you would not understand. No varbeto and no enthusiasm. There is no heart ❤️

[@josezuniga3634]

It's supposed to be Suavecito Raza, this muy Reciesito.. destroyed the song ... but if that's the way you feel it....orale.. se vale.

[@magdasanchez89]

Nada que ver cuate, es fabuloso!!! Tú no sabes apreciar la buena música.

IT is great that is all! You cant appreciate🙄🙄🙄😬😬😬
