Oldschool Chicano Barrios pt 3 

Bring back so many memories.. white T" shirts.. sling shots.. Nike cortez.. Ben davis.. shaved heads.. oldies and firme hinas 😎.

I grew up in Los Angeles during the DO-WOP era during the 50s and early 60s in the southeast side of LA in the FLORENCE neighborhood. I'm 77 years old now, and Oh how those songs bring back memories. the Pachucos as they were known then adopted the DO-WOP music as their own so much so that whenever I hear them, I still consider it PACHUCO music. I"m African American and me and my brothers grew up there and many of my family members married among the Chicanos. In those days there wasn't hardly any tension between the black and brown gangs. The neighborhood we lived in was in FLORENCIA territory between Alameda and Central Ave.

Growing up in mid 70s, in Cali was alive and kicking! Cruising, Oldies, lowriders, clubs, we were all riding on a good vibe.

BETO !!! many years ago me and my 5 brothers lived in Lancaster and met a man named that Gilberto but would go by Beto he always took care of all the kids in the area and showed all kinds of cool things he learned when he became a ranger and fought in the desert storm. He truly became a mentor and provided a safe escape for all of us. I never forgot him or his tattoos and the stories he used to tell all of us about his days before he left for the war. I instantly recognized him and light complexion! He is the man nealing down in the middle from Clover.I will treasure this picture and show it to my brothers thank you.

Mr Gunnu here 53 now i grew up in Bolen Eastside Baldwin Park . Only white boy who ran with the Eastsiders and the rascals. Saw alot of my homies pass away. But i learned alot from La Raza. Look out for my book (Born White in the Barrio) Im a old man now but when i see these videos i break down in tears. You dont know unless you lived it. Stay strong Raza

I'm forever vato loco! I was born in Juarez, Mexico but I lived in East Los Angeles: 1966 - 1993. White Fence Locos.

Great oldies, great photos, great memories. I was 18 yrs old in the photos I am in here. And now I'm 62. Wow how time flies. Thanks Homies 👍

I am 62 chicano from pico viejo and I remember and loves my past but I hope that these people in these pictures raised their kids to to be better. Love you . Marano beach

These old school pictures always fascinate me. I grew up in the Central Valley (born in '76) and hardly anyone dressed like this. I mean, there were lil cholillos but nothing like some of the pictures in this video. Like Jared Levinson told Cruzito, "You, uh, make them look so noble. So, uh...fuerte." If you know, tu sabes.

These videos are firme but bittersweet a bygone era that will never return in this way again I was active in the 90's I'm 46 year old at this time. As a little kid I could still remember all the big homies rolling by in there ramflas bumping oldies. None of that exists anymore . I'm glad that I was around to live thru those times and I will take these firme memories to my grave when my number comes up.

I’m an Afro American first time hearing this, great performance, I’m 70 yrs old, love this type of music.

This was done with pride and respect..some of thee best memories are right here.

I love this style of oldies but goodies. True original sound. 🎶 ❤

a hug from brazil to all my mexican brothers, respect!

Love the old school love song's. Yeah those were the day's i met my husband n the rest went down n History......♥️🌹

My dad is the guy in the first picture!

These days they have no clue what it was like and it can't really be explained. Those times are gone.

Shout out to them west side Rockwood st locos 13. Westmorelands. 1993-98

That is some good old school collection. Growing up early 80's in San Fernando Valley, Cali, lots of good memories. Thank you for putting this video and music together. Took me back into memory lane

Not only Chicanos like this music. This Gringo was raised on 'em. When this genre of music went out of style nothing came along ever to replace it.

Hey vatos this was it back in the days, I’m 60 years old now and still loving these melodies, bringing me back to east Chicago, Indiana Rosavelt High school, hello from your friend Mario Garcia ❤😅

Wish I could go back to that time again when America and it's people were One ❤

All those past times I remember when ...those old memories will always b remembered...thee only change in me...is my age ...😊

Most of us Chicanos grew up and seen our faults thanks to God but few of us learned the hard way may God bless us all

Think of how many stories these pictures tell ..Think of how many of these people are gone..

Orale... for an older vato, I still Love the rolas and the photos: firme... Chicano's Unidos... GOD Bless You Brothers and Sister, con mucho respeto. Shalom...

Brings back so many great memories from my childhood and my eldest brother who has passed away now. I miss him so much 😢!

For all those that fell into rest in peace, You will never be forgotten. For the ones who are here power to you.

GOD,THESE WERE THE BEST TIMES IN MY LIFE AND IT BREAKS MY HEART THAT THEY ARE GONE FOREVER JUST LIKE ALL MY FRIENDS 😭😭💙💙💙 REST IN HEAVEN

Man the years go by fast it’s crazy ….

Love these jams still as today in my life but to be honest haven't listened to much old school music lately but my Heart lead me to this it is all coming back really reminds me of a very good close love, friend of mine Isaac Gonzales April 5 1970-2013 who had passed 11 years ago in 2013 I was 25 years old God just had to lead him in a better place wich I truly deeply believe I honestly truefuly faithful gracefully do well I pretty sure those who truly believe within there Hearts and souls and believe that there is a Holy God and he is alive as of now in this generation of this world that we as humans live life well at least we May all try are very best shoot I'm not going to wright to much I just get my main point in a message it's like when someone mets a stranger in a time of life when they least expect and then it's a matter of time and you all of a sudden lose contact or that person doesn't come back at the time you first met then it's like what then lol it could mean that person got locked up at the time especially you know how they are I'm not saying anything in a bad way by the way or being disrespectful or trying to make anything up but years later I ended up living down two blocks from him he say me one day walking to the corner store lol that was in 2011 so we didn't have much longer to spend with each other but he never left me nor did God they are and will always be with in my Heart ❤️ until the lord Jesus decides to take me one final day in my life today in reality my friend Isaac did show up that day of night on his memorial service I really saw my friend in my room that very night my mom was in the room with me he came right next to me in the bed I tired to wake my mom up but she didn't even move nor wake up didn't even feel me shaking her to wake up so yup thought I should sure that God bless you all ❤️😇💯 love always your family your friend Heather Marie Aka cricket ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
