Take a look at last year’s Escuela de Rock event where Al Borde tapped four musicians from local rock en español groups Los Abandoned, Jumbo, Fatima, and Chencha Berrinches to serve as panellists, and to perform in an unforgettable jam session where for the first time ever all four musicians performed together before a live audience.

Escuela de Rock is sponsored by El Clasificado, Monster Energy Drinks and the U.S. Army.
