An early-70's spin-off group from El Chicano, Tierra kept plugging away
until 1980, when they scored some brief success on the R&B charts doing
Afro-Latin-flavored soul covers. Guitarist Rudy and
trombonist/percussionist Steve Salas had both been in El Chicano. They
teamed with keyboardist Joey Guerra, bassist Steve Falomir, drummer
Philip Madayag, percussionist Andre Baeza, and Bobby Navarrete on reeds.
Their cover of the Intruders' "Together" cracked the R&B Top Ten in 1980
and reached number 18 on the pop charts.

It was their lone big hit, although their remake of the Delfonics' "La La
Means I Love You" did make the R&B Top 40 in 1981. The group returned in
the early '90s with Tonight in 1993 and A New Beginning two years later.
Another long break preceded the release of 2001's Two Worlds: Dos Mundos
and 2005's ambitious soundtrack Welcome to CafΘ East L.A. Two albums were
issued the following year - Tierra Live on Thump and Together Again on
Boardwalk Entertainment Company.

The band continued to perform with numerous personnel changes. On the
Right Track was issued in 2008. Though they continued to perform, the
band didn't record again until 2013's On Solid Ground. In October 2017,
bandleader Rudy Salas premiered a new album on YouTube's Thee Mr. Duran
Show titled !Ya Llego? It was officially released in November on Music
Access. Thump Records issued Keep It Going in early December 2020; it was
the grand finale for Rudy Salas, who died on December 29, 2020 at the age
of 72.

Note: this is Tierra's second album "Stranded", correct publishing year
