The story of Robert Lopez, A.K.A. El Vez, A.K.A. the Mexican Elvis. With his pencil thin mustache, glossy black pompadour and come hither eyes, El Vez may not have the exact Elvis look, but he definitely has the feel. With songs like "You Ain't Nothin but a Chihuahua," "En El Barrio," and "Lordy Miss Lupe," he changes the original Elvis lyrics to tackle issues regarding Latino social and political consciousness, taking on safe sex, homosexuality, anti-racism, gang violence, immigration policy and more.
