Thee Midniters were amongst the first Latino rock
bands to have a major hit in the United States,
and one of the best known acts to come out of East
Los Angeles in the 1960s, with a cover of "Land of
a Thousand Dances" and the instrumental "Whittier
Boulevard" in 1965.  They were amongst the first
rock acts to openly sing about Chicano themes in
songs like "Chicano Power" and "The Ballad of
César Chávez" in the late 1960s.
