Who was Sax, a member of La Maldita Vecindad?
Sax, whose real name was Eulalio Cervantes Galarza, was distinguished for his mastery of playing the saxophone and for making history in La Maldita Vecindad for the past three decades, thanks to the style they have achieved through genres such as rock, ska, reggae, punk and traditional influences from Mexican music such as danzón and bolero.
Along with Roco, Aldo, Pato, Pacho, Tiki and Lobito, Sax has taken his rhythm on songs like “Kumbala”, Pachuco, “Don Palabras”, “Pata de perro” and “Cenizas” through different stages of the world.
