I am not even Mexican but this music feels nostalgic. I didn’t even grow up around Hispanics till I was 10. Never even appreciated tacos till well into my adulthood. But I don’t know what it is about this music, it’s got a hold on me like I grew up with listening to it since my childhood. All good family memories and feelings flood my senses. Was this my identity in my last life? Idk, but it makes me wonder. A wonder only something as pure as music can bring to one’s heart.
They played this at my uncles funeral last week. It truly was the anthem of the Chicano movement when they were still fighting for civil rights. We owe that generation a debt of gratitude because they stood up when the laws did not protect them. I hope we have the courage to do the same when and if those hard won rights are ever taken away. Ben might think its garbage, I doubt he has any idea what the Chicano movement was even about. Just enjoy the rights this generation fought for Ben, they have already been paid for.
My husband better play this at my funeral, we met at “El Baile Grande” and went back every year to listen to Little Joe We still listen to him. We will celebrate our 50th Anniversary 02/16/2020. God Willing
My Dad was a HUGE fan of Little Joe till the day he passed. This was one of the songs we played at his funeral. I will ALWAYS and forever think of him when I hear these songs. This song is now very special to my heart. I listen to it often and can't help but think if him.❤❤❤
Wow, this song brings back memories of my mom & dad and them listening to a static filled radio station early in the morning while my mom is making breakfast, the smell of something delicious in the frying pan and the smell of coffee and freshly made tortillas. Thanks so much for the sweet memories!
Gonna play this on my road trip to El Paso to see my mom. Many memories, especially since my dad was in a band that played these songs and practiced in our garage.
I loved little joe's music since I was 12 years old and now I have it in my blood, in my heart and in my soul! Now Im 66 rears old. This is how wonderful his musiv teally is!
My family was deep into the Chicano movement. This song makes me cry, bc of the significance of the song. It was literally the National anthem of the Chicano movement!!
This song reminds me of my grandpa how he played little Joe every time I would visit him and we would sing together he will always be in my heart I miss you Armando Arevalo (09/22/21) 🕊 fly high in Heaven❤
My lovely father's favorite song. A year ago today, 8/18/2019, you departed, a lovely Sunday morning, we were awoken by rain and thunder, just what you love, we knew this would be your special day. We played this song in your funeral and we still play it often. This song keeps me so close to you, brings me love, brings me pain, brings me joy and wonderful memories of you. I miss you so much daddy, thank you for leaving me this song, until we meet again, can't wait to hug you forever ♥️

Yes, we want President Trump to hold people accountable. We do not need Nikki Haley she’s not for the people
Kids nowadays are not as fortunate as kids of the past.

Nuevo mexicano over here. God Bless New Mexico and Texas. Little Joe used to come here to my town a lot to perform
So many great memories as a young boy. I’ll always remember my parents dancing to this song. Gracias Little Joe!
