Chicano Punk (n.) [t͡ʃi-kano paŋk]: Punks best kept secret is that the genre’s origins came, not from the streets of LA or the alleys of London, or the corners of New York. Rather from costal south American country of Peru. The Latin American influence, which is rather unknown to most fans of the punk genre, plays an essential role in the foundation and broadening of the punk music as a whole.
