Here is a video a Mexican rock band Bandido performing their song "Freedom Now," in the 1972 movie "Bikinis y Rock." This band was pivotal in the progression in Mexican rock the late 1960s-early 1970s. The band's clothing exemplifies the counterculture movement going on in Mexico, and throughout the world. Due to the government's fear of political riots, President Luis Echeverria passed leftist-oriented policies to counteract Mexico's conservative lifestyle. Most people don't realize that the Counterculture Movement in the United States was in fact part of an International Counterculture Movement.
