Los Hooligans Biography
Assembled by singer/trumpeter Tony Luna in 1992, Los Hooligans emerged as an alternative to the third wave ska revival, adding Latin flavor to the sound of British ska. In addition, the band, led by singer Randy Young, melted Afro-Caribbean rhythms, such as traditional Jamaican ska and decades-old swing, to establish itself as one of the most interesting acts in San Francisco's Bay Area.
After participating in different compilations, Los Hooligans debuted with the release of Traditions in 1997. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
