Photographer Estevan Oriol and artist Mister Cartoon turned their Chicano roots into an art that influenced beyond street culture and hip-hop.
"Since the success of '8 Mile' with Eminem, the behind-the-scenes of hip hop have gained increasing strength in cinemas. Films like 'Roxanne Roxanne', 'Straight Outta Compton' and 'Bad Rap' have been praised and have received the attention of the public. Now, the documentary 'LA Originals' focuses on the life of tattoo artist Mister Cartoon and photographer Estevan Oriol, who opened up space for Latinos in the American hip hop scene. In addition to archive images of the two, 'LA Originals' also features testimonies from great exponents of the musical genre in the US, such as Eminem, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, who emphasize the importance that the duo had in the formation of the so-called "Chicano culture". Ideal for hip hop lovers who want to know a little more about the expansion of the genre."
