After the Spanish Civil War against Franco, a group of us got together: a group of well-to-do people who were sympathetic to the lost cause of a Republican state.

Sometimes it’s like that. I go, ‘You know what? I’m going to just change scales. I’m going to even change instruments. And I’m going to go into the chromatics of the Spanish language,’ and I do.

In Barcelona, things seem so different.

Whatever the reasons may be, I was very much affected by events of the 1930s - the Spanish Civil War, for example, though I was barely literate Picture Quote #1

[Cesar] Vallejo was at least metaphorically killed by fascist forces, in the sense that he wore himself out raising funds for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War and got sick and died Picture Quote #1

One of my reasons for living in California is its close proximity to Mexico. The Latin influence is in every corner of the community. My love of Spanish music hasn’t wavered since the 50s.

Negro’ can refer to anyone with dark hair as well as dark skin, and I’ve been used to the word being used in Spanish in this way all my life Picture Quote #1

This happens to a lot of kids from different backgrounds - they lose a lot of their parents’ and grandparents’ teachings, language and culture because they have to deal with another language and culture 24/7.

I grew up having two different perspectives - one in English, one in Spanish. Two different cultures, very different - but I think that, to me, it’s one. I’m just as American as I feel Latin Picture Quote #1
