Wikipwedia dice:
Tierra is a Latin R&B band, (Al principio de su carrera, tocaron un sabroso jazz-rock !!! -- Este es mi inserción.) originally from Los Angeles, California, that was established in the late 1970s by former El Chicano members Steve Salas (trombone and percussion), Rudy Salas (guitar), David Torres (keyboards) and Andre Baeza (percussion). The other original members were Bobby Navarrete (reeds), Joey Guerra (keyboards), Steve Falomir (bass guitar), and Philip Madayag (drums). Their biggest hit was the 1980 remake of "Together", written by Gamble & Huff, which reached #18 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #9 on the US Billboard R&B chart.[1] They had a follow-up hit called "Sonya".

More recently, they appeared on Kid Frost's 2001 CD, Still Up in This Shit!, performing a new version of The Notations' "I'm Still Here".

Bassist Steve Falomir died due to a stroke on January 21, 2012 in Los Angeles.
