Ry Cooder's 'Chavez Ravine' is a concept album that pays homage to a vibrant Mexican-American community in Los Angeles that was displaced in the 1950s to make way for Dodger Stadium. Blending original compositions with resurrected street songs from the era, Cooder collaborates with local singing talent to create a rich, evocative musical narrative. This CD offers a poignant and immersive listening experience that captures the spirit of a lost neighborhood.
