Tinta Blanca

The White Ink band of the Federal District, initially called White Ink and the Mother Earth Co., (winner of a contest held in the chapultepec forest, called the "Naranjiza", where the disapproval of the public expressed itself by throwing oranges at the musicians), was also one of the groups that had their metal section, a common case in Mexico and that was not given with the same intensity in groups. It was probably due to the influence of the American bands (Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, Electric Flag and Buddy Miles), coupled with the tradition of tropical music played in Mexico, where the great orchestras and mambo groups, with Pérez Prado at the helm have always used the metal sections. It is also worth mentioning the participation of excellent jazz musicians such as Cecilio Chilo Morán. Integrants: Sergio Keko Figueroa (voz y percusiones), Tomás Pacheco (bajo y coros), Fernando Miramón (órgano), Miguel Morales (guitarra), Gonzalo Alejandro Pato Curiel (batería), Cliserio Villagomez (sax tenor), Franciso Acosta (Trompeta), Jesús Segovia (Trompeta).
