Hola Beto man, Just finished listening to your movimiento musica on eastlarevue.com. I just wanted to say I thought it was a great show. I have to admit when I first saw your web picture I thought you were just another homeboy playing oldies and talking about things you never knew or experienced. I guess I'm guilty of judging a book by it's cover. I grew up in Lincoln Heights graduated in S'68 from Lincoln High better known for the walkouts four months prior.My friends and I were some of the first EOP students at Cal-State L.A. who were taken under the wing of U.M.A.S. United Mexican American Students. That was before MECHA. I worked summer jobs before that with The Foundation for Mexican-American Studies, CSO and Youth Leadership Program. They were all run by college activists who were gathering information and trying to enlighten us along the way. During that process we were fortunate to meet people like Tony Rios (CSO) and Cesar Chavez. They were tumultuous times with lots of peaks and valleys but I wouldn't trade them for the world. Growing up in the barrio in the 50's and 60's was a todo madre.It's funny how a person can change. I was burning my draft card in 1968 and today I am a retired TSgt from the Air Force Reserve (that's how I know Steven Chavez) Que loco! Anyhow you keep spinning those rolas and educating our youth. You're doing a great thing.

Really enjoy listening to the music and especially like Chico's show. I have listend to the shows for about 8 months now. I liked the Isaac Avila tribute show and it was really nice to listen to the diversity in his music and the different styles he did. I wish I could find some of this music. Frankie,Chico, Mrs. Chico, Steven and all the crew and DJ's at eastlarevue, thank you for your hard work and for your excellent programming. Your music is pan dulce for the ears without a doubt.

Hey "Chico", SAM here. Im currently listening to your tribute to MR AVILA.( for about the 100th time) ,I empahsize MR.AVILA because the Man deserves all of our respect ,as does his Family ,now, and forever.Your tribute alone speaks for itself and reflects the interpersonal relationship you had with, not only MR. AVILA, but all your Artist friends.You're not the kind of guy that only speaks highly of someone based upon their passing but you always hold your relationships with the Artists on such a high pedastal and give them the praise and exposure these masters are so, so, so deserving of , which accounts for the fact that You are highly respected in the music world.I wish I had returned to Calif. sooner to have had the opportunity to meet MR. AVILA through you.Since it was my misfortune not to have met him, I thank you for the opportunity to have met him through his music.
Such a talent,such an inspiration, such a beautiful Brother, such a painful, painful loss.My condolences to the AVILAS, You ,and his many,many close friends.
Many people "moonwalked" to Michael Jackson's music but his music never made me want to get up and "throw a mean chanclaso" as MR. AVILA'S music does. Im not taking anything away from MJ ,pero bloods thicker than water , que no?

Just wanted to say thank you Mr. & Mrs. Chico for your awesome show. My family and I really enjoyed listening to the Isaac Avila Tribute show. What a great selection of music and they all reminded me of what a tremendous person Isaac was. Your description of his personality and music was right on. I use to go with my wife Esther and listen to Isaac at Casa Torres and listening to your tribute show brought back some beautiful memories. What a beautiful talent and representative of Chicano music. I would like to get a copy of this show. Thank you for the memories and God Bless the Avila family.

Awesome as always. Crazy Chuy, I don't often get to log on to your Tejas program anymore, like I used to several years ago. I used to email you requests and bug the heck outta you. So I'm glad you have your program on this site. I love all of you guys and hope this programming never ends, that it only gets bigger and better! I still travel with construction, so this is a great way to stay in touch with the brown sound. Thanks all of you for your dedication.

Hello Chico. This is Big Sal Medrano from Mesa Arizona and I am a big fan of your show.  You are Mr. Suave soul Chico.  Before EastLArevue, I never knew there was one place to listen to all the music I grew up with.  I don’t know of any other stations playing Ralfi Pagan, Joe Bataan, El Chicano, Malo, Tierra, War and then mixing it up with boleros and cha cha’s.  My wife Estella says she enjoys your show because you make the listener feel like part of the show.  One of these days we will have to take a trip to Califas and visit the rampart studios. If possible, please send us an autographed picture of you doing your show so I can show off. Maybe of you and Mrs. Chico behind the microphone. There are a lot of people that we know that are fans of yours too.

Orale Chico, and all the eastlarevue.com crew.  Let me start off by telling you that I enjoy your shows very much. I have your shows locked in and enjoy checking them out.  I just finished listening to some of the vinyl classics. Good job bring back the history of vinyl and these historic recordings.  Someone should do a show on all 45’s by Thee Midniters or the Premiers or any of the popular East LA sounds bands para que all the listeners can go back in time and remember how we used to listen to all the rolas of the day. Chico, your suave grooves give me motivation ese.  You have a cool way about you que it reminds me of how I used to be.  It sounds like you enjoy what you do ese and sabes que I know that I really appreciate it.  I have been an attorney for over 22 years now and sometimes I need a break from my corporate environment and need to hear some one say “Orale” or “Hijole”. After all who ever broke the law by saying Orale? Believe me I have done my research,  I get a kick out of hearing you deliver the music with an orale here and a hijole there.  You sound like a cool vato.  You remind me of Dr. Loco, do you know him? He is a good friend of mine and he talks just like you do.  That is too funny.

Continued success and let me thank you for your music, your talent and your dedication.

Tu hermanito en musica,

Q-vole Chico y East La revue !

Orale, you gente have a way with your music. These sounds take me back.  I am so glad I bought a computer 2 years ago.  You can’t hear these grooves on regular radio.  I tried the site live 365 and they want you to join as a member and then the sound quality is really bad and you have to hear a dumb commercial all the time.  I don’t like listening to the songs back to back with no DJ.  You guys are the real deal.  Keep playing those suave sounds.  I used to listen to a show called La Onda Bajita from the Bay Area pero now they just play protest music and talk too much.  No more latin soul or suave rolas, thank you guys & ladies for giving us good chicano music lovers a place to tune in.   If you can, please play the original versions of Suavecito by Malo and Gema by Tierra for the Cantu’s in Bakersfield.

Senor Chico your show and site are excellent. I have been enjoying all this fine programming since last summer. Your new shows are really nice , I like the music of CINTRON and would like to buy their CD’s. The live version of All day music by War is that new? I had never heard it before. It sounds like the way they play it now. A friend of mine from LA told me about your guys site. I was looking for music by Willie Bobo and he told me about your vinyl classics. That song Gingi was the one I was looking for. Hijoles you made my day. My wife says that I am obsessed with listening to your show and la verdad es que she is right. I don’t know where I have been or where you guys have been but I am hooked on Eastla revue now and love all the shows. I always look to see when your new shows are up and I tune in. I have even found a way to put your shows in my IPOD so now I have Gozando on the go. I plug it into my car and it’s all I listen to now. Please keep the onda going. You are providing a much needed and valuable service to us listeners that appreciate what you guys do. The site is first class all the way ese.

Hey Chico Man I am enjoying the suave grooves of eastlarevue.  I enjoy listening at home and at the office. I work for the City of L.A. in the Planning Department and always have the site on.  The other day I was talking to my supervisor and he asked me what I was listening to and he told me that he remembered listening to the Sancho show and your show on KPCC. At first I thought he was mad because I was listening to internet radio while at work but he was all excited knowing that you had your show on and he put it on his computer in his office. Thanks brother for helping score some points with the jefe. His name is David Aguirre.  He remembers going to the concerts and buying a sancho t-shirt back in the day. His favorite show was your show and listening to joe bataan and ralfi pagan. 

Gracias for the musica.

What a thrill to listen and enjoy your show anytime and all the time. I enjoy every one of your shows. The music brings back many nights sitting "vibes-side" at the Bobby Montez shows at the tiny M Club in east Los Angeles in the 1960s or listening to Chico Sesma or Richard Leos on the radio enjoying all the music of Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria and of course Willie Bobo and Cal Tjader. Cal Tjader was the best known latin jazz combo featuring Vibes but the Montez organization was the real deal; true jazz musica con sabor latino.It was a thrill to see these guys live. In addition to terrific latin jazz these guys exploded with joy that washed over their audiences. Chuck Niles also did a great job on the Jazz spectrum and listening to KBCA 105.1 was tremendo. Your shows capture a lot of that experience. Your show is the modern day version of the Chico Sesma Con Sabor Latino shows.  You showcase local talent and musicians and groups that we have never heard of and mix them with the big name groups. Listening to your site takes me way back to my youth in Los Angeles.  It reminds of me of how great radio and music was back then. Now I live in Henderson, Nevada and when I am not on the golf course or in the casino I am checking out your show.  VIVA CHICO y VIVA EastLArevue.com ! More shows please. Can you please do a vinyl classic with Bobby Montez or Joe Torres ? My wife enjoys listening to the Tejano stuff as she is originally from El Chuco ( El Paso).  She also digs the Chico musical pan dulce after all I have to have a dance partner que no?

We really enjoyed that show.

The music, production and hearing the names of the musicians "get with it" during the recording is great. It is my privilege to have an opportunity to listen to this classic music.  Why this music isn't on regular radio I can’t understand.  All of the artists on your playlist should be thankful for Eastlarevue.com.  I really enjoy the vinyl classics as my Lp's are too scratched to really enjoy!!

In 72'  I lived up the street from  music + and Atlantic Square. At 
the time my parents owned
la Libreia Espanola on Whittier Bl. and Arizona . Worked there during 
the Chicano Moratorium Me and my 65' Super Sport blasting El Chicano 
Viva Tirado with a color bar flashing to the beat. I remember the 
Battle of the Bands at ELAC and how in later years we'd all meet on 
the front steps of ELAC ( Go Huskies) between classes. I wasa 
original member of New Life Car Club and then with a few buddies went 
on to start LIFESTYLE Car Club #1 in Cali today. Back then there was 
the Klique, Imperials ,Sons of Soul ,New Breed and Midnight Classics 
just to name a few. No drivebys or car jackings , (Puro guantes). We 
would Chaufer weddings with the flowers on our cars and honking horns 
every Saturday. We had the Kennedy Hall ,Montebello Ballroom and 
Roger Young and the Pasta House for bailes. We'd park on the 
Boulevard and watch the beautiful Chicanas drive by. We'd head up to 
San Fernando or down to Santa Ana to show our cars and teach em how 
we do it in East Los.  Eateries like Gardunos , the B-Bag and Bill's 
Paradise and Chronis were weekly stops.  It was a good time and I was 
blessed with best Parents, Brothers and Sisters there could be. We 
worked hard and received no hand outs. These songs you play take me 
back to those good old days that I miss dearly. It's a shame the 
youth of today cannot enjoy the same . Thanks for the memories and 
keep up the great work.

I know CD s are the new way people get music and downloads with ipods and all that but you guys have confirmed what I have thought for years. You can t beat vinyl. Thank you for your vinyl classics, it is a nice segment and let me tell you that Salsoul by Joe is one of my favorites. I know you guys did a show with Joe a year or so ago and he plays in San Francisco from time to time. I would love to see him perform live. I used to live in Hacienda Heights and I grew up in East L.A. I now live in Las Vegas as I relocated here about 12 years ago. I remember listening to your show on KPCC and used to record a lot of your shows. My routine was to listen to the last half an hour of Sancho because he talked over the music and was all over the place with his playlist, then from 10-12 I would listen to your show and then I would listen to Ann the raven until 2 AM. Those were some great memories but now, I can check out your show all the time on the internet. Do you have any of your older shows archived ? Keep up the great work and thank you for the music.

I was apart of the Francisco Aguabella recording, Hitting Hard. I used to live in the Bay Area and played with a lot of bands too many to mention. I worked with Francisco on the concept of that album and I thought no one remembered it. I think that album was ahead of its time and we had enough material to do a second recording but as with all groups especially at that time our competition was the established name bands, like Malo, El Chicano, Tower of Power, etc. we never got a deal to record the second album. I don t live in the Bay Area anymore, I am retired and live in Tucson Arizona and a friend of mine told me about 2 years ago about your show. I know you play the Hitting Hard recording a lot and I thank you for that. Everytime I listen to your show it brings back wonderful memories of my days playing music and being apart of a special time of Latin Rock in the bay area. Gracias Hermano and God bless you, Mrs. Chico and the whole Eastlarevue.com radio crew. We listeners, musicians and music aficionados really appreciate your talents and recognition.

Thanking for playing that excellent music. This site is the best. I have listened to a few others and the sound quality is not as good. The other sites don’t have the same sound quality. The music sounds so much better when the quality is good. Chico please play some more boleros by Joe Cuba and Tito Puente. Nobody plays that classic stuff anymore. Also I have a vinyl request, Dance Mania by Tito Puente. Gracias and continued success - Manuel

I never knew there was so much talent. The artists are top notch and creative. Thanks to eastlarevue I have a chance to learn and enjoy the programming your shows provide. I have been a fan of Santana’s music and I like Malo and Tower of Power, but some of the bands you play are right up there in quality and originality. I enjoy checking out the vinyl classics really liked Los Alacranses those guys play really nice. Beto man’s show is fun to listen to, I don’t always listen to KUCR because he comes on too late. Please continue doing what you do.

Hey Chico, just wanted to drop you a line and say how much I enjoy listening to your show and your pan dulce of music. I look out for your new shows and enjoy them very much. I have learned a lot about the artists you play and thank you for giving credit to the musicians and giving us information on the recordings that is very important. I enjoy the music of all the groups and especially like mesitzo and all of that nice latin soul you play. Keep up the good work and EastLArevue is an awesome site.

Chico, We have been listening to your show for quite sometime now, actually since Alex Martinez from Latin Experience in Chicago was 1st played on your show...it has been a year or so. Alex and I have never met but we have become very close friends, we always call each other. You play such great music. I used to keep the computer in the spare room but I had to bring it out to the front room hooked it up to the home stereo so that when we entertain friends and family they to can enjoy the show. Because of you I believe that all of the new talent is getting exposure which is good for them and we as fans are blessed to be able to hear them. I have a real close friend Ray Soto from San Jose, Ca. How do we get his music on the air, do we send you a cd ? if so , where does he send it ? Ray currently has 3 cd's the last one is a flamenco with 3 originals and 7 covers. He actually has a lot of originals that have not been recorded yet. Anyway and thank you for the great music.

Mr.Chico, orale thank you for the fine fine musica. Your selection of music is wonderful. This is perfect music to listen to at home, the office or on the road. I have figured out a way to put your shows into my ipod and it is great. I plug it into the car and listen all over town and share it with my familia and camaradas. The EastLAreuve crew is the best. All of your shows are very professional and well produced. I think it is great how much good music you play. Sabes que you mix it just right, the old with the new and especially all these groups that I have only heard of but have never heard their recordings. You should put a CD together with all of these artists and call it Chico’s Classics. I would be the first to buy one …matter of fact I would buy many of them to give to my friends and family. I have turned them onto your show and the site. Gracias Chico, say hello to Mrs.Chico, Chino and the whole crew.

I have been listening for about a year and a half and really enjoy the site and the gozando with chico show. Chico plays some really suave music and it is great to log on and listen to the variety of artists from all over. I am originally from El paso and I love my tejano but I am a big fan of chicano music and Chico's mix is some great Chicano soul. I have never heard of half of the artists that you play but music and rhythm are universal. you guys are providing an outstanding service to all of us out here that enjoy good and real music. I wish you continued success and keep doing what you do. I am a huge fan.

For as long as I have known you ,you continue to surprise and delight thousands of your listeners and I with musical treasures ,after we think we've heard em all ,and you know Pops and I have heard alot!
To many people, you're like a savior with the blessings of the musical talent you bestow upon us. We may have to name a church after you one of these days. We'll put you right up there with the big ones. you know ,like "Talpa", "St. Benedicts","St. Alphonsus","The Vatican",etc. whatta we call it though? "Nuestro Senor de Pan Dulce de Los Orejas" , " St. Sheeco's"," Mision Manqueros".

Hey Chico I have been listening to your new shows and some of the vinyl classics. Very nice work and great music. Does Sammy Morales have a website? Thank you for playing El Chicano's Cha Chita, that is one of my all time favorites. Normally, I don't like listening to hard core salsa but I like your show because you play more Latin Jazz, which I love and a lot of music with English lyrics that have a nice west coast sound. You have a great library of music my brother keep sharing the music and your positive vibes with all of us out here that are addicted to your show.

Hello Chico. I wanted to thank you for your show and the EastLarevue site. I have been enjoying your show for a long time now and I really enjoy the music and the different artists you play. I sit here and listen to your show over and over again. I enjoy listening to the vinyl classics too and you guys always select good material. I am not sure if you have already featured an Eddie Cano album or not but that would be my request. He was my wife's second cousin and I remember the Chicano music awards where you gave his family an award on his behalf in 1990. We were in attendance at that concert and you did a great job telling the story about Eddie and his music. Chico I am glad you are back on the airwaves playing all this music. I used to record your shows all the time back in the day. Your show was the best. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
A loyal Fan, David Martinez

Just wanted to say thank you for the great shows. I really enjoy listening to your show. I dont know where you find all this great music pero sabes que you know your music. It cracks me up to hear you say 'musical pan dulce' but that is an accurate description of the programming you guys offer. I have been checking out all the other shows tambien and the vinyl classics.

I have turned on so many people to the site. It is very nice to hear the mix and from people who are down to earth. Not too mention un suave library of music Thank you Chico for the Vinyl Classics the Joe Bataan, Joe Cuba, Mary Wells, Jr and the Preludes are pure genius and the music still sounds great after all these years. I have two requests for the Vinyl Classics; Ralfi Pagan with love and Francisco Aguabella Hitting Hard Your Valentine shows con Mrs. Chico and yours are amazing and the most suave sets I have heard. I have been listening over and over. Tell Mrs. Chico gracias. Also, tell the Kool Katz Orale Pues for such a fine tune, it is very apparent that they admire your support for their band and speak on behalf of musicians all over who have such a fine outlet to call home. You and your show gives them the exposure and respect they deserve. Chico you deserve that tune and many more like it. If I was a musician I would write a tune and call it Chico Suave.

You guys are the 'spot' for that great music you dont hear anywhere else. I truly appreciate what you guys do. I know it is alot of hard work pero sabes que you have alot of listeners that not only appreciate it but are addicted to the Musical Pan Dulce. - Orale.

message: Suave to the max! The feelings rise to new heights with the Chico sets. I imagine him surrounded by resources from time past, inherited by the great Chico Sesma and all who trust his taste and talent. I have played this music for all who enter my realm and they cannot sit still. I think this is the reason this music will never die, how can you sit still while listening to the great sets! The music has lasted because their is an audience for it, that's for sure. Chico has proved that the "good old days" are still alive and well today!! I hope that everybody listening from all distant places will learn a little about us, that we love you all. We will always be connected by art, music and love.

I was so sorry to hear that Mr. Joe Cuba has passed on. He has joined the great band in the heavens. I had the pleasure to see him many times in the early day, when he ventured into L.A. We all leave this plain sooner or later, but the important thing is what we leave behind. To live forever in the music and the art, no one really dies when we leave our mark, Mr. Cuba left his music for us to enjoy forever. God Bless.

Music and Art Forever
Peace

Hey, I really enjoyed that anniversary mix you put together on the East La Revue! You guys' website is bad ass! I've discovered all kinds of new oldies y grooves I've never heard before. That track you put on there by Jr. & the Preludes is one of my favorites. My uncle use to play that record all the time back in the day. I was wondering if you could throw that entire album by the Preludes on the "Vinyl Classics"? I haven't heard it in years and I don't think it's available in stores anymore (I've looked). Well, I just wanted to say keep up the good work homie and I'll keep listening from Austin, TX.
