Tony Casanova
Boogie Woogie Feeling 10" LP (blue vinyl)
Tony Casanova was born Jutilio Perez in Puerto Rico in 1942 and his family moved to California in 1950.
Like thousands of other Latin migrants, they moved to the mainland in search of a better life - but the climate was one of discrimination and unequal rights.
Young Latinos were not accepted as "real Americans" and were outsiders in many ways.
For a youth standing at the margins of society, what greater salvation and could there be than Rock 'n' Roll?
Is it any wonder that so many juvenile Latinos identified with the young Elvis, the patron rockin' saint of all the dispossessed misfits?
The music found Tony Casanova and he began playing the guitar and singing whilst still at school.
