Dr. Loco and His Rockin’ Jalapeño Band (Program Repeat.) 

Dr. José B. Cuéllar — better known as “Dr. Loco” — is a Chicano anthropologist, musician, and activist whose work has inspired generations of Mexican American youth. Born in San Antonio, Texas, he fused his passions for scholarship and music by founding Dr. Loco and His Rockin’ Jalapeño Band, touring the United States, and celebrating Chicano identity with a distinctive pachuco flair. In this episode, part of the series ‘Treinta Años, Treinta Voces,’ Cuéllar reflects on his beginnings, influences, causes, and the cultural power of music as a tool for affirmation and resistance.

Guest: José B. Cuéllar (‘Dr Loco’), Anthropologist and Musician, Professor Emeritus, San Francisco State University, San Francisco, CA.
