Music and dancing will fill History Park San Jose this Saturday, with artists playing tributes to War, Journey, Santana, Teena Marie and more. Headlining the event is none other than Paul Benavidez, lead singer of Malo and the voice behind “Suavecito,” the “Chicano national anthem,” who blesses the stage with a performance in the band Tortilla Soup. There will be food, beer, wine and enough music to keep the dancing going well into the evening. Maxx Cabello, another featured artist, brings soulful blues music for good times. Tickets are flying fast: the only ones left must be purchased at the door.

Founded in San Francisco by Arcelio Garcia and Jorge Santana (brother to Carlos), Malo has been churning out groovy, Latin-inflected Chicano rock since the early ’70s. They’ve seen many members come and go over the years—Garcia is now the only remaining original member—but they’re still going strong as they near the half-century mark. Their biggest hit in the U.S., 1972’s “Suavecito,” has been called “the Chicano national anthem.” They scored several more hits in Central and South America, including “Chevere,” “Nena,” “Pana,” “Cafe” and “Oye Mama.”
