EVERY OTHER WEEK CHULITA VINYL CLUB FEATURES A MIX FROM OUR VERY OWN CHULITA DJS - the mix comes directly from their vinyl collections to you!

From SLEEPWALK the #CVC: 

" 'Los tiempos pasan pero quedan los recuerdos
Y hay unos que son muy difíciles de olvidar 
Yo tengo muchos que son viejos y los conservo 
Porque son historias bastante setimental'

Although my family migrated to the US when I was very young, I have very vivid memories of my time living in Mexico City and experiencing Sonidero culture in the early 90’s. Mexico's Sonidero culture is a unique DJ tradition that goes back to the 1960s and is influenced by tropical music from around the world. It is about the music as much as it is about the connection between the Sonideros and the audience. 

Till this day, I can still hear the deep echoes of the voices, the heavily used effects, the melodies of the accordion and the bass bumping from the sound systems. This mix of old and new cumbias is dedicated to everyone who has had to leave their home in search for more opportunities for their families. It is dedicated to those recuerdos and to the family I’ve lost in the 27 years I haven’t been back.”

From DJ DADA from Ypsilanti, MI and our national #CVCCrew: “I was inspired by the first radio border blaster located in Reynosa called La Poderosa, XED-AM (1050 kHz). Blasting music across North America unlicensed, border blasters pioneered bilingual programming along with random radio broadcasts. This mix includes experimental music from all over the world as well as some rebajadas, oldies and is an audio marrananda. Being based out of the Canada/ USA border now, I included some Habibi Funk, from my digs in Dearborn and Detroit (which also had border blaster radio stations). A lot of the records are from record stores in Mexico DF, Austin, McAllen, random places in the Midwest and mailed gifts from friends during the pandemic. If you like what you hear, feel free to send me a tip to my Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Natalia-Rocafuerte”

From FEFA of #CVCRioGrandeValley: “Summertime in the RGV is driving around in the scorching Texas sun hopefully hitting the beach or enjoying a large strawberry piccadilly raspa. Unfortunately, most times, it's heading to work and daydreaming of times when Boca Chica beach was available for my friends and I to spend the day at. My mix is coming out on the Fourth of July, which always reminds me of a certain event that occurred in Vallejo, Ca in 1969. Summer is a wild time, fun in the sun or hell. This mix is dedicated to the coolness and cruelness of summertime.”

Chulita Dada - From the Valley to the Driftless

EVERY OTHER WEEK CHULITA VINYL CLUB FEATURES A MIX FROM OUR VERY OWN CHULITA DJS - the mix comes directly from their vinyl collections to you!

From CHULITA OJITOS of #CVCRioGrandeValley: “This mix was inspired by grief, loss, love, and healing. What has been one of the roughest years I’ve experienced, has also been one of the most tender. ‘Paloma en vuelo’ signifies the souls I’ve lost who now watch over me, as well as myself as I continue on in life without them physically here or ever meeting them. The fun songs in between represent how grief is not linear; we have good days and sad days. And the love songs in the middle represent the foundation of support I receive every day from my loving partner. I hope this mix brings you comfort and joy in your day.“

ABOUT CHULITA OJITOS: Evy aka Ojitos (she/her/ella) is a speech-language pathologist from McAllen, TX. When she isn’t helping run her family’s restaurant, she enjoys relaxing at home with her fiancé and their pup, Daisy. Her hobbies include cooking, baking, listening to true crime podcasts, and watching a good stand-up special or comedy series.

Timeless, low and slow type tunes to cruise and fall in love too.
