Great !

I love the idea to talk about her.., I found her not that long ago and I am in love with her as an artist I thank you so much for this interview keep doing it please 🙏 I really enjoy it Congratulations 🎈🍾🎉🎊

I’m so glad I found this interview with the daughter of one of my all time idols growing up the one and only La Lupe. When I was a kid my mom in Puerto Rico, who also had a great voice and was a singer in trios, was La Lupe’s biggest fan. She would play her records all the time and sing her songs in the house “a todo pulmón”. So I grew up listening to this powerful and passionate singer too. As an adult I continue to be a huge Lupe fan and to this day her songs still give me goosebumps and chills because only one in a million can sing with such power and passion. And to hear her daughter with so much common sense and who seems very down to earth and humble continue the legacy is so satisfying to me personally. It made me fall in love with her too. I’ll be looking out for her work. There’s a huge resemblance of La Lupe with her daughter in her voice, personality and looks and I can see she’s not trying to be like her mother but it’s undeniable that she inherited a big chunk of her mom’s genes although there will never ever be anyone like La Yiyiyi.

Nadie como la Lupe, su inigualable voz. Que bueno que conocio a Cristo antes de morir y salio de toda esa secta.

Simplementes GIGANTES DE LA MUSICA LATINA.

why her douthre no sing de same mom

I think La Lupe us one of the greatest voices ever. I loved her totally , her performances, her interviews, her personality. If we are going to thanks La Lupe for all the songs she gave us, we can’t find words to thank her enough. I can’t compare with Celia for me their both were uniques.

My maestro and parallel friend Nicky

Maestro !

I was 10 in 1970 and my mom bought a LP of La Lupe and I was wowed with ever since!

Ray Barreto legendario !

I remember my Mom loved going to see her as I was a child. The BEST!!

What a great guy!! So many beautiful stories, amazing interview!

Great meeting yourself and Carlos today...CONGRATS on this series 🙏🌟🕉🌟🙏

DOPE video - La Lupe was Ls yiyiyiyiyi!!! Wish there is more footage of her out there espacially interviews. Demystying of La Lupe was the Moreno Book I am guessing.

Aurora, So glad you "loved" my comment! Of course, the reason it was a "no comment" was that I never opened the link! I figured the contents would be similar to the previous pod casts, chock full of historical inaccuracies, half-truths & snarky remarks designed to get a chuckle from the totally clueless Anani! I'll also never forgive you for throwing me under the bus even though knew my intent in reading Anani into our discussion! Then, of course, Anani's mom decided to slam the door in my face & block my emails so that I was unable to defend & explain my reasons! Must be a Taíno thang!

Giovanni will undoubtedly go down as one of the best if not THE best congero ever!

I remember being in the Corso nightclub in Manhattan, I sensed someone standing next to me. To my amazement it was Ray Barretto! He said hello! What a nice humble human being.

Great Job Aurora!!! A very hearty CONGRATULATIONS and a very Happy twentieth anniversary to the East Harlem Tree Lighting Committee ❤️🤗🙏🏼

Le felicito por la entrevista qué le hizo a Ray Barreto en el año 2003 muy profesional e informativa, un trabajo vien hecho.

La Lupe was Loved in Puerto Rico, she was an icon on the Island, you have to be very proud of your Mother. She was a great singer but was a better Human being specially when she converted to Christianity, she got the most important crown & award , eternity in heaven with JC!

Wow QUE LEGENDAD EL HOMBRE DE LAS MANOS DURAS EL RAY BARRETTO LO MEJOL WOW QUE ORGULLO PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷

Incredible talent, thank you Ray.

The Trein of the “Salsa” Call him .🧐

Desde la humilde opinión de una mexicana, amo la fuerza , personalidad y encanto de La Lupe, francamente artista adelantada a su epoca y una execelente interprete de la originalidad en la musica...la adoro. Gracias por compartir.

Hello.... With regards to the segment revolved around Law 53 in Puerto Rico, I strongly recommend picking up a book published in 2018, authored by Ivonne Acosta-Lespier, entitled "La Mordaza." Which specifically revolves around the subject of Law 53 and quotes the law itself word for word. Nowhere does Law 53 indicate owning or possessing a Puerto Rican flag, or expressing "La Borinqueña" in a benign manner resulted in a 1K fine or incarceration. Another patriot like don Pedro Albizu was Gilberto Concepcion-deGracia, who was the president of the Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño (PIP), and the co-counsel with Vito Marcoantonio to don Pedro in the late 1930s. Throughout the existence of Law 53 on the island of Puerto Rico from '48-'57, the PIP conducted meetings, held public rallies, all with the intent of supporting sovereignty for Puerto Rico, and ended their convenings with "La Borinqueña." No one was ever arrested. The distinctions between the PIP and the "Nacionalistas" was that Law 53 specifically outlawed and censored what the Nationalist Party, led by don Pedro, advocated and endorsed. Which was the overthrow of the Puerto Rican insular government and promoting such via print media (flyers, pamphlets, literature, posters, etc), public rallies, private meetings, or other platforms. The notion that Law 53 criminalized simply expressing "La Borinqueña" and possession or display of a P.R. Flag first came from the blog published by Nelson Denis. Which is an extension of his book. What Mr. Denis extolled is not what Law 53 states. Trust your own instincts and please do take a look at Law 53 itself. What *it* says. Not what the internet conveys what the law states. Because social media, Wikipedia and even P.R. media entities have parroted the same thing Mr. Denis asserts, and only ever did so after his book became a best-seller. PS-If there will be a part II to the 1950s, please acknowledge the Teatro Puerto Rico. Which was the single most important center in NYC revolved around Latin American entertainment. Every significant artist from every spanish-speaking nation graced the stage there. The 1950s was its golden era. Thank you.

I wish la lupe was still alive!!!! Her music is so amazing

Congratulations Aurora and Anani on this 4th edition of your series. In addition to the integration of music, politics, urban development, international relations and race relations approach you bring to this subject, there is plenty more we can joyfully wait for you to offer the viewing /hearing public. The 50's saw Mario Bauza's Machito Orchestra's integration of Afro-Caribbean music with North American big band band Jazz (both Black and White), to another dimension. Tito Puente Especially, in all of his hundred productions, focused this entire new sound (different from Prado, Curbelo and most other Cubans in NYC at the time), on the 'Dance Mania' energizing, locamente, young and old, white, brown and black, English or Spanish language dominant. Where the music was more white Anglo population oriented, it was generic, as this series shows: Super clubs and dance lesson academies. Tito Puente is quoted as saying something different:, in retrospect, "I play for the dancers". Meaning, he said, this is not a concert to just listen. His arrangements had the Jazzy solo horn interludes and drum riffs, be more integrated with the dance rhythms / melodies and story lines. In the beginning, middle or end, wherever it occurred, the solo's start and end, would be "integrated " 0pened and closed by the "breaks':. ( please chime in Musicologists). These breaks / solos were intense moments, where you felt the music 'Subirte por los pies". Tito Rodriguez added his sonero, baladista and bolerista romantico style to this jazzy big band sound mix. Another step in this evolution of the the Big Band, Jazzy, mambo sound, came when smaller groups began entering the scenes. Sextets especially thrived. Joe Cuba, La Playa, and from San Frisco to NYC on vinyl, that great and under documented and under valued Cal Tjader. When i first heard his sextet in high school, on New years day 1961, in the South Bronx, the group of us could not stop listening and dancing. Tjader took Tito's "all breaks are for the dancers " and put it on steroids. At one point, he had NYC Mambo masters: Mongo Santamaria on Congas, Willie Bobo on Timbales, Rolando Lozano on Flute, and so many others. This music was hot , fast, deep culture mambo , AND jazzy to the fullest, AND soooo danceable in the many small clubs that sprang up all over the Bronx and Manhattan.. These clubs provided sneeky high schoolers like me to dress up and go dancing every weekend among the newly emerging US: NuYoricans. Our prents had the old big cabarets and supper clubs. We had the teeny tiny squeezed "social clubs". The sixties saw the continued dominance and evolution of the many wind, horn instrument big bands, with less horns, generally. Pero, esos son otros veinte pesos. That's Aurora and Anani's next episode. And, as Aurora so beautifully notes, the 50's also saw the emergence and integration into this MYC mix, of the traditional genres of Borinquen: La Bomba y la Plena, of the Black Coasts and the Decima / Seis of the Mountains of small interior towns. These two, plus the always present, but little mentioned for this period, of the Dominican Merengue, represented in the big Manzana, the 3 major sources Afro-Caribbean genres of our ancestors: Cubanacan, Boriken and Quisqueya, as the Tainos (Araucas) called our Islands. Gracias compañeras for this important work for our younger generations who, not learning Spanish, have been deprived of the beauty, ecstasy and transcendence of the sounds which brought us life and keep us going, day to day, wherever we may go or be. Ache. Ashe.

A mi me encantaba ver la lupe

Es bueno que comentes sobre Maria Teresa la Reina de la Trova Cubana, que en los años 1920 gravo en NY

I would have thought something should have been mentioned regarding Carlos Pizarro "La Voz Emotiva", not as part of political influence or content but simply because he was one of the greatest performers in the Latin community of New York during the 50s...

Great !

You look great Aurora 👍 God bless you 🙏 ❤️ 😘 😎

❤❤❤ la lupa. I Still listen to her song. Beautiful woman. 😍 God bless. Her and. Family's

I love this interview, thank you. La Lupe , Willie García, best singers

Un lujo escuchar la hija de la LLILLY! Asi creci escuchandola ,voz inigualable ! Me quito el sombrero !

prasies to her daughter god bless her for bring out an artist filled with obscuriness and bringin la lupe to light threw her eyes and not threw the veiw of others

This interview was so profound! As I kid, I listened to his music but never knew he spoke English, that he went to Julliard, that he had a great sense of humor, and so much more.

I’m VERY PROUD to say that I(!!!) have actually done TWO gigs with the great RB.

I knew Eddie from Mongo's band and Bobby Sanabria's band. I played and recorded with him with Mongo. I hadn't seen him since 1994 and didn't realize he had passed until I saw this. My condolences to his family. He was truly a great artist! Bob Quaranta

Rafael Hernández was one of the greatest Latin artists. In Cuba he learned the difference Cuban rhythm and incorporated them into great hits during that era.

I am a pastor of a church and I am a huge fan of La Lupe. Is there any way that I can contact her daughter? I would do anything to share a little story with her and talk to her just for 15 minutes. Could you help get me in contact with her? 😊

Regards from San Germán, Puerto Rico, doña Ercidia Ortiz hometown. Doña Ercidia of course being Tito Puente's mom. Btw, I heard Nicky Marrero saying either his mom or dad was from San Germán too but I'm not sure which one so that's one piece of info I been searching for too. Also, poet Mariposa Fernández has roots in my hometown too so if she ever reads this comment, we're very proud of you too.

Correction: The idea for Quitate Tu came originally from Tito Rodriguez in his album Charanga Pachanga 1961. Pacheco used it a decade later.
