Ry Cooder - Corrido de Boxeo, from Chávez Ravine (Nonesuch 2005)
Chávez Ravine: A Record by Ry Cooder is a concept album and historical album by Ry Cooder which tells the story of Chávez Ravine, a Mexican-American community demolished in the 1950s in order to build public housing. The housing was never built. Ultimately the Brooklyn Dodgers built a stadium on the site as part of their move to Los Angeles. Chávez Ravine received a Grammy nomination for "Best Contemporary Folk Album" in 2006.
