Look at how much these vatos loved, respected and cherished their women. Not just their ladies either, these men were representing the epitome of modern masculinity. Soft enough for a special girl, strong enough to face the world.
I don’t know how or when Raza lost it’s way but it’s never too late to resurrect the OG way you know unfortunately i wasn’t born in that amazing era but luckily I was educated and grew up and followed around the Veteranos in my barrió and grew up with the old ways as a matter of fact I don’t even sag my levis still iron them damn I miss it it brings me to tears listening to the oldies and watching your videos takes me back keep representing our people our heritage thanks much appreciated
Ben Davis is cool, but I keep it old-school, 70s style, Lowrider brim hat, Pendleton Board shirt, Levi's 501s or Suit Pants, and some Zig Zag Winos or Chuck Taylors
The females yes, the guys no, the girls look bomb, but the guys look wack, I like 70s style way more with suit pants and white T tucked, Lowrider Brim Hat, Pendleton Board Shirt, and zig zag Winos or Chuck Taylors
Back then (late 50s-late 60s) homies / gangsters were “Vatos y Pachucos, later Cholos”. The guys always had the clothes sharply pressed and creased with their Pendleton’s draped over their fore arms and the girls were called “Rucas” with their teased up hair sprayed hair and tight short skirts. I still remember those thighs. I remember riding my bike from La Medina Projects in East LA on Sunday nights to go look at the low rider car clubs cruising Whittier Blvd in East LA, Later we moved to Santa Ana and it was downtown 4th street where all the low riders would gather and cruise on Sunday night when all the old downtown stores were closed. In the 7th grade a white guy named Roger but everyone called him “Fish” (his face looked like a fish) that was all pachuco started F Troop originally there were a half dozen jr. high school kids (67’-68’ Santa Ana) Shit the music was great! Today blacks are credited for the “homie gangster” thing, but it was the Mexicans in east LA and Pacoima that were the original “homie gangsters” back then blacks had not even ventured there
I feel it but the black panthers were active during the 1960s. So basically we both started completely different movements, the Latinos a bit earlier, as a way to show our pride in our heritage and to help better our community despite the oppression as well as to create our own culture as Latino Americans and African Americans . I personally think Latinos and blacks are totally bad ass and we have always been there for each other as each group has fought for our own identity in white America. Love and positive vibes to all my Latino brothers and sisters ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It ain’t like the old days, back in the day I would believe vatos would be steady on only one woman that gave em that feeling of “she’s the one carnal” and they would dress up nice and drive up to their homes to take em out on a cruise. In my point of view it wasn’t about the money nor appearance, just like in the oldies music it was all about love, soul and memories
Yup. The starched up Ts and Dickies, the baseball hat w/the brim flipped up, the bandannas..... these artifacts of working culture were turned into elements of style thanks to the Chicano youth whom embraced these clothes their parents wore to work in the fields......
@@206wareagle5 they weren't Dickie's fool, the Dickie's popped up in the 90s, they used to wear suit pants and the brim up baseball caps were a 70s-80s thing
@@Mr.timecapsules Dickies been around homie, my Grandpa was sportin khakis in the fields ever since I can remember. Brim up been around since the 50s and before..... you all the way off mayne lol
@@206wareagle5 well your grandpa wasn't what these guys in the pictures were, your grandpa was a worker, cuz I remember them sporting suit pants in the 70s, I forgot what they were called, cholo trousers are what they were, but the brim ups I might be wrong on that, I'll give you that one
Raul - Keep it alive, homie. Take Pride in the Unity, the Craftsmanship, the Family-Life, and the Positivity of Chicano culture. saludos a toda la Gente de Buena Fe
I'll say it once I'll say it again.. there's no such thing as a Chicano only MEXICANOS. Show me in the map of the world where Chicano is geographically? The word Chicano a derogatory term given by the Spaniards in the 17th century.. Que les pasa bola de ignorantes..🤦♂️
I remember when Mexican born people had a prejudice towards Chicanos.I grew up in a strict Mexican household, and my mom told me not to associate with THOSE type of people.They were a bad influence and would only corrupt me.I thank God that I'm hard headed. I fell head over heels for Cholo. We've been married for 28 years with two beautiful girls and granddaughter.The moral of the story, don't judge a person by the way they look, you might miss the love of your life.
Yeah I know what you mean A Chicano is known as being a penche pocho to someone from Mexico I know I was called a pinche pocho They say that out of being envious
Why the 70s or 80s? If you liked what they were wearing in the pictures or liked the sound of music, i think you would want to live in 50s or early 60s
La cultura browpride no es latina, es mexicana. Que quede claro que los mexicanos y chicanos no somos latinos. Somos Brownpride y es cosa nuestra. No generalizado
Thanks for the all the likes and dislikes. Much love to all especially in these crazy times. I uploaded this video a while back and just never really paid attention to it . Rockabillys, cholobillys, chucos, cholos, paisas. We all raza in the end. Sometimes we forget that.
Lonely blue nights, lonely, lonely blues I can't hold you tight I've got nothing to lose For since you've been gone All I have is lonely blue hoo hoo hoo hoo My nights are filled with tears My heart is filled with pain I promise I'll be true If you'll just come back again For since you've been gone All I have is lonely blue hoo hoo blues... I'm sorry I hurt you, darling I'll prove it to you someday Regretting the things I've said, dear That made you go away And though you're far away You might hear my cry And come home someday Forever to be mine I'm sorry I hurt you, darling I'll prove it to you someday Regretting the things I've said, dear That made you go away For since you've been gone All I have is lonely blues Hoooo hoo hoo hoo hooo's whoo hooo
@@Smoak305 weird how? Because I respect the music, times and culture seems like you're the "weird" one if you are on here talking shit....lol appreciate your reply!
Bruh this song makes me cry every time do you know how much it would be to me just to be born in the 60s or 70s I would just love to live that Chicano life style back then I would die for it...just wanna go back to orange cove with the family.....god damn so much I’m missing
LOOKS LIKE ECHO PARK GREW UP THERE LIVED ON TEMPLE ACROSS FROM BASEBALL PARK.VIRGIL JR HIGH . ECHO PARK GYM DANCES. WHAT MEMORIES RIGHT.CRUISING GRIFFITH PARK .
Mexico Americans is a latin brotherhood and blood working. También se sienten orgullosos de ser. Lo que sus padres en descendencia que conozca su cultura y su lugar de origen. Aunque otros hacen la avergüenza de serlo, creeme no todos los chicanos no están orgullosos de ser latinos. I'm respect this comunity and have the family in the united states and my cousin borned to Phoenix. They're great and simpactic. Until I listen their songs that oldies and rock. Much much meeting the culture and They have repesent their rights..... I like listen Ritchie Valens, Santana, El Loco, Cali Life Style and Loco Sniper. The songs of chicano style were Malo Suavecito, Lost of Cali Life Style and La Bamba of Ritchie Valens.

One of those girls looked like Selena. Swore it was her. I'm black but I've always admired Mexicans strong family values. I still see it today in southwest Detroit. Blacks used to be like that.
I wish we all loved like this. If a man was going to be as one hell go looking for the love of his life. They go over to their house. That's how my husband met him coming over to my house looking for me.. one day I got catfish by him...
Notice how everyone was thin back then, no obesity. Females respected themselves and bit was given to them by the guys. Nothing like the "WAP" culture we now live in...Gid help us.
Big Q-Vole! A Chuco lifestyle forever....Rest In Peace Big PNut. Reppin the Frisco pants, creased Ben Davis, Nike Cortez and the blue rag hanging from the back pocket. Many homeboys gone yet the chuco lifestyle from southern california will live on....
That ain't chuco style, that's that wack ass 90s shit, I stay in em Pendletons, Lowrider Brim Hats, Levi's 501s, Friscos, and Zig Zag wino shoes or Chuck Taylors, I got that 70s style
See it's the lifestyle that people live back then it's how they were raised respect yes or no ma'am I'm a white boy and I sat around my sister's table as a child and my nephews and nieces were mixed there was respect they was yes or no man and I remember smelling the homemade Mexican food I love you see is the lifestyle that people live back then it's how they were raised respect yes or no ma'am I'm a white boy and I sat around my sister's table as a child and my nephews and nieces were mixed there was respect they was just sore no man and I remember smelling the homemade Mexican food I love it rest in peace to my sister and thank you for raising me that way
