Espejos de Aztlán; Lorenzo Martínez
- Transcript
Y a todos les grito, mi raza querida, que viva mi gente por toda la vida. Está firmado, Debbie Martinez y Lorenzo Martinez, porque también en este disco la diferencia es que Debbie Martinez, my sister, for the first time me, while myself and my sister, Debbie La Chicanita, made an album together and she does help me on portions of the vocals on this album. So then you would say that the main, one of the main differences is that you compose songs. Debbie Martinez is playing with you, singing with you, and as far as instrumentation goes, you use more of the mandolin? OK, yeah, that's another thing. We have added mandolin onto this album, which I felt gave it trying for more or less a Italian, Mexican, Spanish. You might say everything combined, flavor, if possible,
is what the intent here is on the album. Get a feeling, a different feeling, a different sound, if possible. This is a sound I like. That's why I decided to put in the mandolinas, too. Is this album available at stores now, Lorenzo? I believe Christie Records should have it in stock. As far as I know, they have it up in star records, Santa Fe. You see music album in Las Vegas, New Mexico. From there on, my agent has distributed them to other areas of Colorado. I don't exactly know the names of every place there. Great. I was just curious because some people that might be listening might want to buy it. So it is available at record shops.
Well, we are going to play, as we said, we are going to play some songs of the LLP. Lorenzo, what will you tell us first? Well, look, Cecilio. First two will be the first song that is called that lives my people. And the one that follows is the woman I want. And the third one is called Indio. And please, let's play the first three, because the second song is stuck with the third one. Okay. Okay. And the third one is that I live my people, the woman I want, and Indio. He didn't think that song was so terrible.
And he left California because he never said anything else. For his men behind us, my wife is more humble because of my heart. I always bring in a smile and love in the heart. When we call each other like brothers, and if someone finds sadness, always excels in our hands. And that's why we're together. When we call each other like brothers, always excels in our hands. And that's why we're together.

I'm asking for you to take care of your children But if I don't care I'll work for the poor I'll suffer if I work But I'll never suffer If you live your lives I'll give you love That's what I don't want That's the way to live my love I'm asking for you to take care of your children But if I don't care
I'll suffer if I work But if I don't care I'll suffer if I work With that great pile of work That never had the same life And they're broken So be careful The figure of the ejemplate Let's leave a lesson And all And it's like we should And don't get hurt For my part I'm proud To see your love My dear My dear My dear My dear My dear Okay, we wanted to mention that following Lorenzo Martinez This night He's your wife Silvia Lorenzo
The title of this EP And the second one It's a tribute to my grandparents They have a very cultural flavor They have a flavor Of our people And then of the family What were the thoughts of the EP And of that title That I saw And what was happening When you did all these rules Well, Silvio In the first place During that time When I started To compose these songs Proximately about a year ago My grandparents were both very sick Which consequently They passed away And That kind of gave me A feeling to make that song
Or Menachia, Misabuelos And The one that lives my hand I think I made it because I feel This is a personal opinion But I feel that My race We don't give each other too much credit And I'm Rarely a favorite Heard a song That talks about Mirasa in a good way If anything We talk about Dando nos balazos En las cantinas Or terro Tequito tu mujer I wanted to feel A positive reaction Towards mi gente It has nothing to do With maybe Selling an album Give you a meheta no Because at the time
I felt this way I still feel that This way about it And the basic whole album Is More or less a family Going with the family And I try to make it I try to make it Have a feeling of Maybe family Or a warm feeling Maybe if you want to put it better that way A warm feeling Well I I really admire you I think it is Very often that the artist is The one who tried to create Those positive images About one self And about one's family As well as one's people I really admire you for that Like I said earlier You come from a great musical tradition Tell us something about Maybe your father And I heard him talk
Not that long ago He mentioned something very interesting He said that You were An undocumented worker in Mexico Can you tell us about The story behind that thing That you were an undocumented worker Yes sir I was an undocumented worker in Mexico I worked for Back in 1974 I worked Undocumented In Plaza de Marillachis Garivaldi Mexico City I worked for 25 months In which I returned to the U.S. And about two years later In 1976 Salvar Padilla Marillachis San Miguel Antonio Aguilar Na rodeo Picked me up And Out of that came another year Of touring throughout Texas California And Mexico again
Totally And one of the few If not only undocumented workers in Mexico My dad Robert Martinez I respect very much because Even when In my eyes A step higher maybe In a different direction But back when he made the Corridor Daniel Fernández He was up in Touring Singing the song And he recorded And sang with the Marillachis Vargas Which is Probably the best in Mexico Mm-hmm Lorenzo, we are Ready to play Two other songs of your LP That are a That live my people Do you want to tell us what are the next two? First, I must say The next one Will practise Ramóncita
