songs threaded through Zoot Suit were written by Lalo Guerrero and the playwright's brother Daniel Valdez. Guerrero, known as the father of Chicano music, wrote music detailing the Chicano culture during World War II, resulting in the feature of the songs in Zoot Suit. The music combines boogie-woogie and El Paso's version of R&B.
