Maldita Vecindad
Maldita Vecindad, also known as La Maldita Vecindad y los Hijos del Quinto Patio, was formed in 1985 in Mexico City.

While Argentine bands like Soda Stereo, Los Enanitos Verdes and Virus were leading rock en Español, the scene thrived elsewhere in Latin America, and in Mexico, Maldita Vecindad built a following by incorporating bolero, ska and rock. 8 p.m. June 10 at Spotlight 29 Casino, 46-200 Harrison Place, Coachella. $45-$60; 21or older. 760-775-5566, spotlight29.com.
