If its anything like the Christmas program I just might wear out my patas dancing, but not to worry, since its gonna be New years, I can always pull out a back-up pair of patas from the menudo pot , que no?
God bless y'all, be safe and thanx again for all you do.

message: This is awesome! Chico your show is awesome I really really enjoy your selection of music. You are a knowledgable host and your voice is awesome.

I heard about your show when I was on the Tierra site. There was a message about your show and how you play alot of Tierra's music. They are one of my favorite bands. This is great that you have this site and it sure beats regular radio. They don't play music like this and I just want to say thank you. You have a new listener and fan in me and I will share this with my friends and family that love this style of music. I love Eastlarevue.com!!!!! I am going to listen to the other shows as I love good chicano music.

Sincerely,
Dee Novoa.

message: Hello Eastlarevue.com! I found your site by looking up Chicano
music on the internet and I found Chico's show. What a great program! Is
this the same Chico Manqueros who was on KPCC many years ago..? Sure sounds
like him and the musica is right on! I will spread the word about your
great site and all of this excellent musica. I feel like a kid on Christmas
morning opening up his presents. All of this musica is amazing...I really
liked listening to the live broadcast of the Joe Bataan show...what a treat
I wish I would have known about it sooner I would have made the trip from
New Mexico for the show. Thank you Chico! Keep serving up the musical pan
dulce and I am so glad you are on the air again. I used to listen to your
show every saturday night back in the 80' and 90's and you played some great
music. Gracias, Joe Negrete - Albuqueque New Mexico.

greatly appreciate it if you could play it on the show for us here in San
Diego, carnal, and for the Chuztir here, listening to your show; I even play
it at work! All my co-workers trip out and ask me what I'm listening to, I
tell 'em it's eastLArevue. I'm telling you, bro, they all leave my desk

Hi Steven,

I really had a great time at the Joe Bataan concert on Sunday! It was wonderful because we all had such awesome seats! I had no idea that it was going to be such an intimate venue. I dare to brag that I went to a private concert. To be in the same room with such a great presence as Joe Bataan made me feel very, very special. Wow!! It was his birthday too...with cake and candles.... what an honor it was for me! He was everything and more than I expected.

Rocky Padilla was tremendous! He has an amazing voice and powerful charisma. It was his authority on stage that had the influence to carry the show with fun and dancing to the end. What an impressive performer!

I thought The Kool Kats sounded better the first time I saw them at the Raddisson. I’m sorry… but, my friends and I couldn’t hear or understand any of the lyrics. Maybe the sound needed adjusting? In fact, the sound and the lighting are about the only things that could have been improved.

I bought T-shirts, CD’s and it was really nice that they were all there after the concert to autograph them.

Chico, Frankie Firme, Peter, you and all the staff were marvelous hosts and I really appreciate all your efforts in providing quality entertainment. It was a hit!!!

Sincerely yours,

Sandra M. Corral

Man,you really blew my mind with your introduction and salute to myself and SAM the man. Mr.Chico,thanks for your consideration an for the bad ass music associated with this salute. You and yours definitely know your music. We just don t have a radio station that plays this kind of music. I feel fortunate to have come across your website and you can bet I will try my best to spread the wealth of the Chicano/Latin sounds as much as possible. Thanks Again

Radioperson: Chino

Message: Hello out there, the music sounds great from buckeye az. just moved from Whittier Ca. born & raised in boyle heights, lincoln hts, city terrace, and growing up thats all my older brothers listen to. One brother took the sounds to vietnam, I do remember the la times boys club when I saw those young men in uniform walking down the street, the chicanos, the greyhound station, downtown L.A......... I close my eyes at night and I could still smell the flowers of the night.

For a moment I'm back in Lhts, 1969 waiting for my brothers in uniform to come home from leave. The riots in ELA, living in arizona and checking your web site gets me a little home sick. L.A does not feel the same any more, cruzing down Whittier blvd is long gone. I loved to listen to the older dudes that grew up in the barrios, 1950 and late 60's, music you never thought you would hear again, you guys bring back those times.

I'm only 44 yrs old , some guys would tell me you were not even born when that music was playing, I tell them that makes it better for me but the old dudes tell me right on vato you know, well thanks guys keep up the good work ELA REVUE music reminds of AM radio, 1090 express back in the mid 70s thank you ! big o from E.L.A ..

From Kelly
:Subject: Thank you Los Angeles!
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 12:38:31 EDT

Hello to all!! Kelly the Kat & The Kool Katz Band are back in San Jose..

This past weekend, The Kool Katz Band traveled to Southern California for what turned out to be a "Whirlwind Experience". From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The people of Southern California welcomed The Kool Katz with open arms and hearts. On Friday (July 13th), we were the guests of honor at a dinner arranged by Steve & Janie Chavez of Rampart Records and East LA Revue, Erik "Chico" & Terri Manqueros "Gozando with Chico Show" along with their two beautiful daughters and Frankie Firme "The Al Capone of the Microphone." The dinner was held at Paul's Kitchen in Monterey Park. The food was excellent and the company was exquisite. Kelly even got up and gave a bone-chilling rendition of "What's Up" by the Three Non-Blondes. This prompted Peter Jaramillo, promotor for the Radisson Whittier Hotel to get up and introduce Kelly from the Kool Katz Band in town to perform at their club. On Saturday (July 14th), we performed at the club Banners Lounge in the Radisson Whittier Hotel. The crowd welcomed the Kool Katz Band and showed their Southern California hospitality. To our surprise, Malo was playing for a birthday party at the same hotel. When Malo finished their last set, they wandered into the club where we were playing and enjoyed our show. We invited Malo to come up and perform Nena with the Kool Katz and all of a sudden…….we had about 20 musicians on stage and gave the people of Southern California a powerful performance. It was one of the weekends highlights!! On Sunday (July 15th), we opened for the Midnight Productions, "Tribute to the Legends of the 60's and 70's". Also performing were, The Temptations, Chi-Lites, Marvellettes, Delfonics, Stylistics, Temprees, Shirelles and the "Bad Boyz of Oldies", Rocky Padilla and Cory Silva. There were lots of people and good music. Once again, the people of Southern Cali showed the Kool Katz Band much love.

The weekend went by too fast but we would like to extend a gigantic Kool Katz THANK YOU to the following people:
Steve and Janie Chavez, President of Rampart Records and East LA Revue, Our Agent Eric "Chico" and Terri Manqueros, Executive Producer and Host of East LA Revue, Frankie Firme the "Al Capone of the Microphone" and his wife Josie, Peter Jaramillo, Promotor, Radisson Whittier Hotel, Alfred Alva, master of the website, Paul's Kitchen, Midnight Productions, especially Cory Silva for giving the Kool Katz a chance to be a part of his show and to Malo, thank you for your promptu performance with our band and we hope to work together in the future.

We look forward to returning to Southern California in the near future. Until then, all our love to the beautiful people of Southern California.

Hola Chico,

This takes me back to the days that I truly treasure. I’m listening right
now, cruising the Internet highway. Wow! What memories... I play all the links over and over and over again. Especially, Gozando with Chico!

Thank you Chico for being here and bringing this beautiful music into our homes. You and all the amigos at the East LA Revue Radio bring us back to what we were truly all about.

I’m listening to “Sweet Latino Soul Numero Tres”, and I’m in love all over again with the music and my memories.

I will be there tomorrow at the Raddison in Whittier, “Where The Girls are Pettier” to give all of you support.

Wishing you continued success and many blessings to you and your family.

Take Care
Sandra M. Corral

Orale, just read your revue, 'Unity Peace Car Show' It was Firme,I was wondering if you already put out that revue to listen to?? How do I go about getting the revue?? Like to check it out.. Enjoy all your music, from Arizona and we don't have to many Chicano Bands. The last Chicano Event was the 'Ceasar Chavez Event' That was Hot, We listened to The Latin Voices with Jorge Santana, Bobby Espinoza and Malo. It was great But short, they only played 3 long sets and had a slide show of Ceasar Chavez and his life for the Chicano Communities and the American Workers who worked in the fields, it brought Unity but was a small crowd mayby about 200 people. I look forward every Sunday Me and My Ol'Man check out your Music Every Sunday with a couple of cold ones and cook up some carne in the backyard and Thank God on his day. Keep it going Your're for the Raza Thank You, wish we had more of you around Arizona.......

Hello Steven and Frankie!

Greetings from a homie living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Originally, born in East Los Angeles and raised in Highland Park living here in Europe with my Danish wife since 1990.

Listen my brothers, I just wanted to let you guys know about my CD, “Old School Lovin’” which will be released first here in Europe within the next 10 days!! After that, I’m coming home with my CD’s to get the music out to my people in the USA. Starting with my hometown, Los Angeles.
I’m not real sure exactly when I’m coming but if all things go as I pray, I’ll be there sometime in July.

Steven knows about this project already but I wanted to reach out to the both of you guys.

My album was recorded here in Copenhagen but mixed by Al Green’s long time producer, Mr. Willie Mitchell and his son, Boo Mitchell in Memphis, Tennessee.

I have brought to Europe that East side vibe. Like the saying goes, You can take the homie out of the hood but you cannot take the hood out of the homie. Maybe it’s my own version of the saying but it is relative.

Many people here that have heard it love it. But the truth is, I’m not sure how these Northern Europeans will actually relate to it. Take it to their hearts.
But I’m sure that you two and all the other good people in Califas will not only relate to it, you will have a sense of pride that this music, brand new music written by me and partly with my band members, have been able to present some excellent music that is rooted from all those East side gigs I did growing up in L.A.

Gigs like the Hobit, Rudy’s Pasta House where I sat in on trombone with Tierra back in the day. (I was a roommate with Phillip Madayag, the drummer with Tierra during the “Together” days), all those great gigs when bands played the same night together, one after the other. Tierra, Horizon, Sting, Tabu, We the People, Willie G, Bertha, and so many others. These are my roots. But now, I’m planting those same roots across the Atlantic, here in Europe. But this music which is a branch from the tree of East L.A. must be brought back for everyone’s enjoyment.

I ask you both to help me accomplish this dream and vision I have to introduce to all the people in Califas, mainly L.A. This very great music I am extremely proud of.

Please feel free to check out some tunes:

Hope to hear from you.

Peace,

Que Pasa Mi Hermano,

I'm dropping you a line to express my appreciation for the fine work you are doing in spreading and sharing the wealth (that is Pan Dulce). I've recently taken a short rendezvous to the City of Angels while enjoying your previous shows - which by the way, never get old. I had a blessed time and to my pleasant surprise upon my return, there it was! A new serving of musical Pan Dulce. Just goes to show that one just can't get enough of a good thing. Thanks for the shout-out - it was a nice touch and much appreciated. I, on my end am trying to spread the word about esta buena onda. And so far, many of them have responded enthusiastically. I wish you and yours continued success in what is proving to be an outstanding show. This is what you get when you share the best of the best. So in the memorable words of Christopher Walken, "The only cure for my fever is more Cowbell". . . . . . . . . . . Vaya Chico.

- Jess

Hi Chuy
I loved your show on the tejana divas recently. I'm trying to do some history on some of these women and wonder if you can offer any contact information for Paula Estrada who you featured on your show, I would love to interview her.

Also, do you know where I might find any family members of the accordion Chavela Ortiz from "brown express" ?

thanks for any leads and look forward to hearing you again on your next show,

Dear Mr. Chavez,
first of all, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Frank Espejo and I am a long time friend of Erik Chico Manqueros.
I am a retired Police Sergeant and had the pleasure of meeting Chico earlier in my career when I worked for Montebello PD.
Don't worry ,Chico was never in any kind of trouble with law. I happened to meet him when he was the co-radio host for "that other show in Pasadena".
I think I was the only Police Officer that listened to Latin jazz in his Police car on Saturday nights.
To make a long story short, I discovered that Erick and the Familia were residents of Montebello and we soon hooked up and have been the best of friends ever since.
Needless to say I have been very, very proud of Chico , his talent, stream of success and his never-ending passion and devotion to the Latino music industry.
I often wonder how he does it all, ,juggling a family life ,a very demanding full time job and yet, finds the time to put together extremely coordinated programs,interviews and meetings with the best musicians in the business, hosting numerous award ceremonies and the list goes on and on.
Sadly enough I left California , a good friend of mine and his family behind, that being the Manqueros Familia.
I am now a "Tejano" living in San Antonio (also known as IBEASAM which means I Be A San Antonio Mexican).
Well, making a long story even shorter, I recently spoke to Erik and I was excited to learn about "Gozando With Chico" on the East LA Revue program. WOW that was better than the Barbacoa they got out here!
I for one, support Erik 100% in his endeavors to get this program implemented here in San Antonio and I m willing to do my part to ensure Erik's success.
This gift couldn't have come at a more opportune time since so many, many Californians are
moving to Tejas.
There is no doubt in my mind this will be an overwhelming success because like myself, so many "Californios" long to hear those magnificent "Rolas" that Chico is so good at playing.
well Sir, I apologize for being long-winded but there is just too, too many good things to say about Chico and his talent. The man's just untouchable, unstoppable and unbelievable.
Sincerely, Frank ( IBEASAM ) Espejo.

Que Pasa Chico, Let me start off by saying I'm new to your show, I came across it by accident and became an instant fan. So that goes to prove that not all accidents are neccesarily bad. My question to you is about new shows. All I'm living on right now is show #20 and #21. Don't get me wrong, they're still pretty firme. I don't know how often you update your site, I've made your site one of my top-picks and visit it daily, but still find that the same shows are still there for grabs. So, how often do you guys upload new shows? Second half of my question is are there any archived shows available? Any help on that would me much appreciated. Continued success with your outstanding work bringing us only the finest in Latin Rolas.- Jess

Hi Chico. What a fantastic show you have! Juanita and I were listening to your programs last night and I have to tell you that you have the best Latin jazz show around! I am very proud to call you a friend. Please send me a copy of the last 4 shows they are out of sight! Where do you find all this music? I like the tune by Joe Bataan and Gil Scott Heron, I played with him once in Oakland. Also, I liked the Cumbia Del Sol by Mystique. I also sit in with them from time to time when I am back in the Bay Area.

I am still looking forward to doing those promo spots for you. Thank you for playing our version of Linda Chicana that is one of Sheila's favorite tunes. I have forwarded a link of your show for her to listen to. Sheila will be on the Alma awards airing tomorrow night on ABC. I will be performing with the band tomorrow for KJazz at Hollywood and Highland at a free show. Let me know if you can make it. I would love to see you. Please tell Mike Alley I said hello. I am working on a new CD and the live DVD will be out soon. WWW.PeteEscovedo.com

You are doing a great job for us musicians and I really appreciate it. Hopefully, we can make it out to see Art and Kelly when they play in Whittier. Did you help them with that? That is great they deserve it and they are great people. I love their band.

Take care and God Bless,

Pops.
