The ambassador of music in Tijuana, the Master of Blues in Mexico: Javier Bátiz, shares with us just a small part of his extensive and important career. At the age of twelve, in 1957 he founded Los TJ's, a group through which several members would pass, whom El Brujo would turn into musicians, including a young boy named Carlos Santana, nicknamed "El Apache". In 1963, he came to the then called Federal District where Los Rebeldes del Rock tried to integrate him to replace Johnny Laboriel, but the difference in styles was so great that he did not stay with them. Destiny took him to La Fusa, where he asked for a jam and since then, his way of playing opened the doors of Rock for him. At the age of seventy-eight, with countless records and songs, with a world of experiences and anecdotes, Master Javier Bátiz, delights us with a very good interview, in his words: "The best one I have ever had." He missed the Avándaro Festival, but he couldn't miss the series: “Searching for Mexican rock”. SERIES: SEARCHING FOR MEXICAN ROCK ARTIST: JAVIER BÁTIZ CAPSULE: 240 DIRECTOR: RICARDO RICO
