WHITTIER BLVD.
More than any other street, Whittier Boulevard tells the story of musical eclecticism. On Whittier, Mexican American musicians blend music from all over Los Angeles to create an all-new genre-defying sound and flavor that shimmers and titillates with an instantly identifiable beat.

As Hollywood and Vine grew from citrus groves to music capital of the world, thousands of musicians made their mark on Los Angeles on sound stages and recording studios and everywhere in between.
