It's important to realize that it is difficult being a womxn in this world. Our fire is constantly misunderstood. We're constantly told we're too needy, too emotional, too sensitive. We are taught to hold back our outcries and instead handle our emotions like a "lady" would. This mix is dedicated to chulas that are constantly misunderstood, chulas that are loud, emotional and sensitive, and chulas that sometimes hurt when there's nothing to hurt about. -Claudia Saenz

Hurts when there's nothing to hurt about

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!

East Side Story: Black Excellence Mix

i know this mix is really long but it comes straight from the heart-each song means so much to me/makes me feel really good. i wanted to combine soul with "latin" ballads i love so dearly so it goes back and fourth with english and spanish tunes - its my chicanx experience i guess. also… being sad is okay sometimes, and it’s not always about boyz but maybe always about patriarchy.

can't break my heart ~ all vinyl all love

"Let Love Flow For Peace," named after the wonderful Sunbear track featured on it, is a mix without a grand plan or any real ulterior motive other than capturing a mood, in this case what a chill afternoon at Greg Caz's house can sound like. It covers a few genres and styles but hopefully also displays its own weird inner logic. There's stuff from the dustiest of crates but also fresh fire from the last year or so, including tracks from a pair of fiery 2017 releases by 80+ year old legends. Enjoy!

From FEFA of #cvcrgv: “I have a habit of loving songs that make me cry and I’ve struggled with sadness since I was 19 years old. Sad Songs are like a comforting blanket during moments of sadness. Some people like to listen to things that are upbeat to help with their emotions, and there are those that prefer to submerge themselves in their grief. This mix is for my sad babies out there, I know there are so many of you and I hope you find some comfort with my songs. Don’t let people make you feel like you can’t be sad, ain’t nothing wrong with being a Sad Girl. I’d like to dedicate this mix to my Tío Lupe, we lost you way too soon and I miss you already.”

From TEAR DROP #cvcfounder: “Chulita Vinyl Club DJs from TX & CA presented an on-line, virtual performance with Texas State Galleries & the Center for Texas Music History. The event was broadcast on their IGTV.⁣ Today, we present the audio mix version of the project. Make sure to watch the virtual performance on www.instagram.com/txstgalleries.
⁣
Our virtual offering is a smaller program, as part of a larger traveling art exhibition titled 𝘏𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝟿𝟺 or 𝘏𝘛𝟿𝟺. This participatory art project is sponsored and organized by the Undocumented Migration Project—a non-profit research-art-education-media collective, directed by anthropologist Jason de Leon. The exhibition is composed of ~3,200 handwritten toe tags that represent migrants who have died trying to cross the Sonoran Desert of Arizona between the mid-1990s and 2019. These tags are geolocated on a wall map of the desert showing the exact locations where remains were found.⁣
⁣
Jason Mellard, director of the Center for Texas Music History at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX was asked to curate a music series in part to display how music and art can serve as sites of solidarity, remembrance, resilience, and resistance, and when CVC was asked to participate we jumped at the chance. We specifically chose the noisy election week to connect with you all, friends, and hope our video brings some healing and hope for these stressful times. Gracias for the opportunity to explore the themes of music, migration, loss, and joy through the culture of our vinyl collections! #eldiscoescultura”
