"Seventeen Jewels"

Straight out of East Los Angeles, The Blazers play big-hearted Latin roots rock music that's soulful, surprising, and always fun. Combining electric guitars, bass and drums with traditional instruments such as the bajo sexto and button accordion, The Blazers make music that draws on the deep well of Mexican-American culture and life.

Listening to “17 Jewels” one can't help but agree that this is their finest release to date. The album kicks off with the ebullient “And I Feel It,” which sets the rollicking tone for the rest of the album. “Come On Baby” keeps the pachanga going – especially when it is reprised in Spanish at the end of the album. The tender “Next To Me” sounds like a cross between old Motown and ’50 doo wop music. On “17 Jewels,” The Blazers also reach back into their past: Ruben wrote the song “Our Time” when he was in high school. They’ve also covered some old favorites such as “Leaving It All Up To You” and the Beatles’ classic “Spoil The Party” (performed as a conjunto rave-up).

The Blazers are: Ruben Guaderrama - vocals, guitars, requinto romantico, tres, bass, percussion Manuel Gonzales - vocals, guitars, bajo sexto, orchestral accordion, bass, percussion
