To all Tierra Fans and Promoters
As many of you know, the ownership of Tierra and its intellectual property rights is currently being adjudicated in the Los Angeles Superior Court (Case No. 21 STCV 25207). Based upon this pending litigation, counsel has instructed parties to post this message until the matter is adjudicated by the Court. As a measure of complete transparency, this court issue is being made part of the public record. Promoters, record companies and agents should do their due diligence before entering into any agreements or contracts until this matter is fully resolved. Both parties value ALL Tierra fans, promoters and associates and we hope you understand and thank you for your patience.
In late 2020 and early 2022, we were heartbroken to have lost Rudy and Steve Salas due to COVID. The Salas Brothers created the soundtrack for many people's lives, and we are so grateful to everyone who loved their music. Rudy and Steve left an indelible mark on the history of Chicano music with Tierra, and other projects, and their music is celebrated by millions around the world.
RUDY SALAS
1949-2020
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rudy Salas, the leader and co-founder of Tierra, on December 29,2020 to COVID-19. We lost our rock, our creative spirit, husband, father, grandfather (and soon to be great-grandfather), uncle, brother and leader of Tierra whose history spans nearly 5 decades. Millions have enjoyed Tierra's music and we are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received from close friends, supporters and family.
STEVE SALAS
1952-2022
It's hard to find the words to express our deep sadness right now as we announce that Steve Salas passed away on February 10, 2022. Our beloved Steve had been battling cancer for 2 years now and COVID-19 for the past week. Steve now joins his brother Rudy Salas who also passed due to COVID-19 over a year ago. Steve and Rudy created the soundtrack for many peoples lives and we are so grateful to everyone who loved their music. The Salas Brothers left an indelible mark on the history of Chicano music with Tierra. Their music is celebrated by millions around the world. Anyone who has ever spent time with Steve knows how bright his light shined. We truly appreciate all of the love and support as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful man.
