As I began to collect and spin songs from my East Side Story collection, I realized the majority of these artists are black and composed by black folks, yet these compilations and songs are considered to be "Chicano Oldies." 

This mix was inspired by my love for oldies, the importance of black lives, anti-blackness in the non-black chicanx/latinx community and the appropriation and erasure of black culture. 

Every song on this mix is sung and/or played by a black man or woman and every song on this mix is directly from my personal East Side Story collection Volumes 1-12. Enjoy!

From JOANNACHILLS of #CVCRGV: “As difficult as 2020 has been, music was there to be my getaway, my safe space to feel what was needed and keep on. Varying different genres depending on the feels. What else was there to do on a Friday night? Staying home as much as possible was the duty, after all, and the very least we can do to help. Virtual dance parties it was, and these songs got me through it up to now. I hope you enjoy <3

To the Health-care / Front-line workers who were the truest of heroes in this pandemic; thank you, thank you, thank you! You deserve a getaway during these hectic times. I hope this mix can be a kind of getaway for you, for now, to dance and feel good, because you deserve that and so much more.
 
I hope everyone takes care and stays safe. Wear a mask and wash your hands! 2020, Good riddance! ”

About JOANNACHILLS:  Joanna (she/her) is a vinyl collector and Dj born and raised in South Texas, Rio Grande Valley. You can follow her on Instagram for virtual hangs or catch her spinning vinyl in the RGV with her fellow Chulitas as soon as safely possible.
