Love Army

In the late 1960s a wave of Mexican rock heavily influenced by jazz-rock and funk rock emerged in several northern border Mexican states, in particular in Tijuana, Baja California. Among the most recognized bands from this “Chicano Wave” (La Onda Chicana in Spanish), there is one in particular that was recognized by their originality. The band Love Army derived from the Tijuana Five and was formed by Alberto Isordia (a.k.a. El Pajaro), Salvador Martinez, Jaime Valle, www.jaimevalle.com (a.k.a. El Perro), Fernando Vahaux, Ernesto Hernandez (a.k.a. El Blu), Mario Rojas (a.k.a. El Muerto)and Enrique Sida.

El Perro) http://www.jaimevalle.com/, and vocalist Alberto Isordia (a.k.a. El Pajaro) was the most representative song of these times. It was also recorded in English (Walk Within My Brain). It reflected the state of the Mexican counterculture and the position of the Mexican youth against the government of that time.

The lyrics of Caminata Cerebral (Walk Within My Brain) (Author: Jaime Valle and Alberto Isordia) begin:

Love Army was one of the bands announced to perform in the Avandaro Rock y Ruedas (Rock and Wheels) Festival later the album "The Love Army en Avandaro" was released

After the success of hits like: Walk within my brain, The Door is open to your heart (Tambien tu tiempo llegara) and I will be in love, the band spent several months performing at the Tiberio's bar in Acapulco, Mexico.

The public broadcasting of the song "Caminata Cerebral" a.k.a. "Walk Within My Brain," was forbidden by the Mexican law due to "subversive lyrics."
