Publisher's summary

A lush, nostalgic barrio romance reminiscent of Marquez and Allende.

An orphaned boy with long hair to cover scars and a bewitched glass eye is raised by a collective of mariachis in East Los Angeles. Since childhood, Jimmy Ojotriste (sad eye) has busked the teeming Mexican restaurants of the Eastside with violinist Ray Chin and green-eyed tenor Victor Salcedo. At 20, all three boys are in love, stuck, and one of them is dying.

What follows is a lyrical quest through the Latin music underground of Los Angeles that will eventually take them from Tijuana to Andalusia. Steeped in the music of mariachi and flamenco, and the “brujeria”, sensuality, and street life of disco-era Los Angeles, The Music of Jimmy Ojotriste is an intense musical romp through a vanishing world in the company of characters you will miss dearly when it’s over.
