“Preservation of one’s own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures”
-Cesar Chavez
Chicano culture was born from the Mexican-American individuals who grew up in the US, still tied to their cultural roots but ready to make a space for themselves in this new country. Although Chicano culture boomed in the West Coast, it was widely spread throughout the whole country.
If you know me personally, you know I have a playlist for every occasion. There's never a time in the day where I'm not listening to music. To fight off the bitterness of the cold this season, I created a short playlist of my favorite summer cruising tracks. There's just something timeless about "Low-Rider Oldies" that nothing in today's charts could ever match. A mixture of r&b and soul, intimacy, love and heartbreak...all tied together with a wave of nostalgia. This playlist is perfect for cruising through the city on a hot summer night, or simply going out for a stroll with your honey, without a doubt it will definitely set the mood.
If you're of Latin descent, this playlist will surely bring back special moments. Whether it was riding in the back seat, chilling on the porch with your friends or watching your tia apply her lipliner in the mirror, this playlist is dedicated to you.
