Rubén Funkahuátl Guevara: Ruben & the Jets, Con Safos, y Más
Mark Guerrero wrote: "Rubén Funkahuátl Guevara is a singer, songwriter, producer, writer, poet, performance artist, and impresario. He made his mark in music with his 1970s band Ruben & the Jets, who recorded two albums on the Mercury Record label, the first produced by the legendary Frank Zappa.
In the early eighties, and again in the mid-nineties, he ran Zyanya Records, a subsidiary of Rhino Records. At Zyanya, he compiled and released three albums in the 80s and two in the 90s, which featured Chicano rock artists, as well as rock en Español groups from Latin America and Europe.
Ruben has composed a rock gospel cantata, created art videos and performance art pieces, provided music composition and coordination for movies and television, and put together shows featuring music and dance. He has been aptly called a culture sculptor."
