A BETTER LIFE
My dad told me once that he was going to go back to Mexico, as soon as me and my sister graduated from College and got a good stable career/job. He told me, that he wanted to die in his Tierra natal. I asked him “Why did we come here then, if all this time you have been wanting to go back?” We came here for you. At the time I didn’t understand that, but now that I am a little older and am a parent of my own, I understand completely what he meant that day. Because of his decision to come to the USA I have gotten a good education and a stable career/job and thank him for the sacrifice he took 20 years ago. I just saw this trailer because I heard on the news that a Latino was nominated for the Oscars and wanted to know what the buzz was all about. Now I know. You’ll understand when you click play for this trailer called “A Better Life”. Gracias APA.
14 YEARS LA CUEVA
I remember my first time I went to La Cueva. They were in a huge night club called El Patio in Rialto, it was 2001 I was around 17 still in high school and was going through a phase where all I would listen to was corridos. One day my friends invited me so I tagged along and went for the ride. My first Rock en Español club, I was surprised to see how people danced and dressed at this new club and to top it off the type of music that was played. I had grown up listening to this type of rolas because of my dad. He would bump it through his little boom box while working out. El Tri, Caifanes and Mana just to name a few. I felt good, connected, I felt welcomed, Cueva spoke Culture to me. This Friday they will be celebrating their 14th birthday, it has been 10 years since the first day I set foot there and to this day I feel the same thing when I walk into this Club. Join us this Friday to celebrate a decade of Rock en Español and to be part of el Desmadre. The line-up at the Jump. Nos vemos.
