In 1980s, Tierra gained TOP 40 hit "Together", and Cheech and Chong recorded "Born In East LA". [[Maldita Vecindad]] is a [[rock en Español]] band whose music is a mixture of punk, rap, ska, funk, and Latin. They were formed in Mexico City in 1985 and describe themselves as a mambo punk combo. They influenced other Chicano rock bands and Chicano music, because they were among the first [[Mexican rock]] musicians to express a kindred spirit with the Chicano movement. On their early recordings, '''Maldita Vecindad y Los Hijos del Quinto Patio''' (BMG Ariola 1989) and Circo (BMG Ariola 1991), Maldita's music delved into Chicano culture with songs such as "Mojado," "Pachuco," and "Pata de Perro."  In addition to the two albums above, Maldita Vecindad released "Baile de Máscaras" (1996), "Mostros" (1998), and "Greatest Hits + Rarities 1989–1999" (2000).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Guerrero |first=Mark |title=Maldita Vecindad: Bridging Mexican and Chicano Rock |url=http://markguerrero.com/misc_27.php |access-date=2017-10-12 |website=markguerrero.com}}</ref>

In the mid-1980s Chicano teen rock band [[Renegade (band)|Renegade]] landed on the international music scene, sporting a combination of heavy metal instrumentation with more pop oriented melodies, resulting in a new subgenre, termed "commercial metal". The four teens—[[Kenny Marquez]] on lead guitar and vocals, [[Luis Cardenas]] on drums and vocals, [[Tony De La Rosa (rock guitarist)|Tony De La Rosa]] on rhythm guitar and vocals and Danny David Flores on bass guitar and vocals—have been referred to as Chicano rock gods, amongst Mexican-Americans.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Salas |first=Abel |others=Photographer, Chris Jurgenson |title=Chicano rock-gods |url=http://renegadeusa.com/members/e107_plugins/wrap/wrap.php?11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120218222229/http://renegadeusa.com/members/e107_plugins/wrap/wrap.php?11 |archive-date=2012-02-18 |website=Ritmo Beat Magazine |publisher=Renegade World Music}}</ref> Renegade or Los Renegados as they are called in Latin-America, went on to sell more than 30 million units worldwide,<ref>{{Cite web |title=David Hasselhoff Introducing Renegade at 30 Million Platinum Sales Award event | date=November 19, 2008 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7byydLZVoc |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/D7byydLZVoc |archive-date=2021-12-11 |via=Youtube.com}}{{cbignore}}</ref> with a series of hits in Mexico, Canada, Japan and the United Kingdom, and to a lesser extent, the United States.

Subsequently, groups like 90s band [[Ozomatli]] and [[Quetzal (band)|Quetzal]] had led the new wave of Latin Rock groups that fuse multiple musical genres.

Ozomatli mixes rock, [[hip-hop]], [[funk music]], and cumbia. Their song "City of Angels", presented a new eclectic form of Latino rock.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2010-12-10 |title=Ozomatli |work=Sound Tracks |publisher=Iowa PBS |url=https://video.iowapbs.org/video/sound-tracks-ozomatli-the-quick-hits-interview}}</ref>

Quetzal, the band from the barrios of East Los Angeles has been creating Latin folk and roots-rock music for over a decade. With the successful tours and concerts alongside Los Lobos, Ozomatli, Taj Mahal and Michelle Shocked, Quetzal has played intimate clubs and large arenas alike. The band combines rock, Afro-Cuban, country blues, and jazz elements to support the wide-ranging, bilingual vocals of Martha González. The retro-futuristic mix has garnered praise from critics including the LA Times and Los Lobos. Quetzal simultaneously forges a sound that makes you dance and contemplate change.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-06-02 |title=An Evening with Legendary Chicano Rock Band QUETZAL |url=https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/196603}}</ref>

Robert Lopez AKA [[El Vez]] started operating an art gallery called "La Luz de Jesus" and created a show dedicated to Elvis. Since Lopez's impersonator did not meet his expectation El Vez was created. El Vez's first performance was in Memphis, Tennessee on August 16, 1989. Lopez started making karaoke tapes while running his gallery. While not including "sacred" topics directly, his goal is to blur the line between what is sacred and profane allowing him to have wide age range in his audience. He has been releasing albums since 1994 continuing to use satire and humor in his songs to express revolutionary views. As his lyrics are historical, some teachers and professors use his music to teach history and Mexican American Culture.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Larson |first=Susan |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/28212990 |title=Rock and Revolution: An Interview with El Vez, the Mexican Elvis |work=Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies 1.1 |year=1997 |pages=141–152}}</ref>
