In 1971, a group made of sons of Mexican migrant workers was the first act to be described as “punk rock” in a magazine. That’s right -- Latin artists have been instrumental to the creation of punk music, even before it was called punk. In this episode, Question Mark and the Mysterians’ guitarist Bobby Balderrama reveals the story of the band of self-described “Mexican kids” from Michigan who performed onAmerican Bandstand and ruled the charts. As we’ll see in Punk In Translation, they were hardly the first - or last - Latinos to make a mark on punk.
