Albert Sanchez (2)

Albert Sanchez, known professionally as Al Hurricane (born July 10, 1936, Dixon, New Mexico, USA – died October 22, 2017, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA) was an American singer-songwriter, dubbed "The Godfather" of New Mexico music. He received his nickname, Hurricane, from his mother. As a child, he would accidentally knock things over; the nickname became synonymous with his band, studio, and a recording label. His signature look, which included an eye-patch, was due to an automobile accident that occurred during the 1960s. Brother of Baby Gaby and Tiny Morrie, and uncle of Lorenzo Antonio.
