"It features larger-than-life portraits of San Antonio musicians Randy Garibay, Clifford Scott, Rocky Morales, Felix Villareal, Eva Garza, Doug Sahm, Rosita Fernandez, Lydia Mendoza and Manny Castillo. Each is depicted in performance, playing in front of giant handbills bearing biographical information."

"The vision that I pitched is that they would be playing this fictional concert all together despite the fact they were from different eras."- radio interview https://www.tpr.org/tags/la-musica-de-san-anto
