Loved this tune for so long! I think I first heard it on Kiss fm (way back when Kiss was a pirate station and played good tunes) played by somebody Jackson, he was a class DJ. I managed to pick this up on a white label 12inch.
@tejmulen GO LISTEN TO TODAYS GARBAGE MUSIC FOOL. GO LISTEN TO LADY CACA OR LIL WAYNE. THIS IS A BADDASS JAM. NOW THIS IS MUSIC. GOTTA LUV EL CHICANO
Bobby Espinosa, a keyboard player who helped create El Chicano" has died. He was 60.
Espinosa died Saturday night after a long illness.
Along with other local Latino bands War and Tierra, El Chicano played a funky, jazzy mix of R&B and pop music tinged with salsa. An offshoot of an East L.A. cover band called the VIPs, El Chicano quickly gained a following in 1970 with Viva Tirado, Part I, a riff on a jazz recording by Gerald Wilson
Forgot all about this one. Used to be one of my fav's back in the day. Heard it on the radio today and decided to look for it on You Tube. Well done dke2468 for posting. You've made my day!
El Chicano..and Tierra. May 1 and 2 at the Tropicana Hotel in Laughlin, Nevada. Celebrate Cinco de Mayo..with us! It will be a party. Say hi to me...MaloSuave
I remember this from Racers in Walthamstow, used to play it as last record, I bought the 45 then managed to find the 12" and still have both of them today.
Plan now! See El Chicano and Tierra at the Tropicana Casino and Hotel on May 1 and 2. Make your reservations now because it is the same weekend of the Pac/Hatton fight. Tell them Malosuave sent you.
I actually owned this on a 45... I lost that record and have been looking for this for years... It forever reminds me of 83, the year I graduated from high school...

Oops - I just read that it was a "favorite from 1983". But still, I missed it before. Now I love it!

I missed this one, somehow, in the 70's, but it's now in my collection of El Chicano favorites. Thank you for posting!!
