by John Bush and Char HamThough they came out of the same East L.A. scene as Los Lobos and El Chicano, the Delgado Brothers — frontman Joe, bassist Bob, and drummer Steve with keyboard player Billy Steinway — forsake Hispanic inspiration for the most part, relying instead on blues/R&B and sweet vocal harmonies. Signed to the Hightone label, the group worked with producers Bruce Bromberg and Dennis Walker (Robert Cray), and released The Delgado Brothers in 1987. After laying low in the first part of the 90s, the Delgado Brothers re-formed at the urging of John Juke Logan. Percussionist Ray Solis was added to round out their Latin beat and R&B mix. Lets Get Back on the Mocombo label brought the Delgados back to the fold, where they continue to play up and down the West Coast.
