This video was captured on Saturday, November 21, 2009 at the west end of the Commerce St. bridge just passed Frio St. in San Antonio, TX. The site was host to an event commemorating San Anto Cultural Arts 37th mural. This mural in particular pays homage to a group of historically iconic San Antonio musicians and is titled "La Musica de San Anto".

The mural's centerpiece displays the late Manuel 'Manny' Castillo, known for his role as Executive Director of San Anto Cultural Arts and as the drummer for local band Snowbyrd.

This video is a montage of the event and is set to the music of Sunny and the Sunliners and their song "Talk to Me" released by Tear Drop Records in 1963. Sunny and the Sunliners were a prominent local band in the early 60's and this song in particular charted at number 11 in the Billboard Top 100.

Local DJ JJ Lopez (91.7 KRTU FM Trinity University radio host and co-founder of Super Soul Shakedown) provided commentary about the occassion while spinning some classic San Anto doo wop, soul, funk, and blues favorites.
