Razabilly Boogie

Los Angeles is the home to one of the largest and most vibrant scenes for rockabilly enthusiasts in the world. Since the turn of this century, the Los Angeles rockabilly scene has transformed to meet the desires of the Chicana/os and Latina/os who now make up the scene’s primary producers and consumers. Drawing on their own cultural genealogies, Los Angeles Chicana/os and Latina/os have not only claimed the scene for themselves, but have also rewrote themselves into the history of Los Angeles, and rewrote Los Angeles into the history of rock & roll.
