La Maldita Vecindad y los Hijos del Quinto Patio (English:
The Damned Neighborhood and the sons of the fifth Patio)
is a band formed in Mexico City in 1985. The last studio
album recorded was in 1998. Since then, the band has collaborated
with other bands, as well as having participated in tribute
albums like the tributes for José José and
Tigres del Norte. Their sound incorporates many styles,
including Ska, Rock, and traditional Mexican forms such
as the bolero. Roco, the band's vocalist, dresses in a
manner reminiscent of the Pachuco, an archetypical character
represented by Tin Tán in the Mexican cinema. Tin
Tan is sampled in one of the group's biggest hit, 1991's
Pachuco.
