Eduardo "Lalo" Guerrero Jr. (1916–2005) is known as the father of Chicano music. His career began in the 1930s, contributing to most of the new developments in Mexican-American music in the southwestern United States.

Early in his career, Guerrero composed romantic songs that became successful on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border. He recorded big-band swing and music in tropical dance styles. During and after World War II his music played a central role in the Latino youth culture of the Los Angeles area. He recorded a series of hit Spanish language parodies of Anglo-American pop songs, and he wrote and sang topical corrido ballads until very late in his life.

Arizona mariachi musician José Ronstadt told the Arizona Daily Star that Guerrero "was really an incredible man…. To me the most interesting phenomenon about Lalo Guerrero was that different generations knew Lalo through his different expressions of music."
