Tijuana is a Mexican city less than 20 miles south of San Diego. Because of that close proximity, some musicians in Tijuana are much closer to music trends coming out of the US than the vibes coming out of Mexico City, which is some 1,700 miles away. Still, some artists proudly want to represent Tijuana with their own sounds. One a recent Saturday, Marco Werman went crate digging in Tijuana with music journalist Betto Arcos. They set out to look for vinyl, taking in Tijuana music both past and present.

Editor's note: In this segment, the Avandaro festival, known as Festival Rock y Ruedas de Avandaro, is mentioned as having taken place in 1973. The correct year is 1971.
