When Los Lobos perform in concert today, audiences in the thousands cheer them on. It’s hard to believe that the group started out as just another garage band playing popular rock-and-roll tunes from the radio. In 1974 four high school friends from East Los Angeles formed Los Lobos (Spanish for “The Wolves”). David Hidalgo and César Rosas played guitar, Conrad Lozano played bass guitar, and Louie Pérez played drums.

La Llorona is to Mexican and Chicano children, what the Bogeyman is to American kids. La Llorona is almost like a mythical monster made to scare kids into good behavior. The story is about a women who drowns her children after she is betrayed by her husband. Later, her spirit returns and roams the streets while she weeps, in search of her kids. I am sure that stories of La Llorona are almost like a household name in every Mexican home. I remember when i was a little kid, my summer days, were spent playing outside until the sunset. I’d rush home before the sun went down, because if got too dark then I’d fear that La Llorona would be lurking somewhere in the back alleys. But why is La Llorona lurking in Denver’s back alleys? Well, even though

One legend that is part of the Hispanic culture and is still told today is La Llorona/ The Weeping Woman.

The Cerritos Library brings back so many childhood memories. There I was, a young boy, who was always curious about the simplest of things.

On Friday, the 6th of January 2017, Esteban Santiago began shooting a 9mm hand gun in a baggage claim at the Ft. Lauderdale airport, killing five people and injuring six others. Esteban Santiago is a 26 year old male who was discharged from the Alaska Army National Guard for unsatisfactory performance. In an interview with his aunt, Maria Ruiz Rivera, she said, "His mind was not right…He seemed normal at times, but other times he seemed lost. He changed." She added, "He talked about all the destruction and the killing of children. He had visions all the time…Who would have imagined that he could do something like this?" she said. "I don't say that because we're family. I say it because he wasn't like that."

There are many urban legends out there today. The story can vary based on the teller but the plot remains similar throughout every story. One of my personal favorite legends is La Llorona, which means the weeping one. La llorona was a very beautiful woman who lived a good life, until an unfortunate event changed her life forever.

His success in school and educational attainment was aided by his parents support, mentor and teachers help, and his self-driven personality. I believe that his ability to learn English so quickly was the prerequisite that allowed him to do well in school (Feliciano Lec. 2/24/16). Matt’s father continued to pull him and his brothers out from school early before the year ended until one day “the lead person of the farmworkers told [him] that he had to leave [them] in school” but by then he was already a sophomore in high school. Contrary to Lopez’s (2003) argument in her article that young men tend to be disengaged from their studies and appeal to the masculine association of their culture, Matt stayed focused in school and always stayed on top of his homework. I think that the reason he was able to stay focused in school and have a relationship with his teachers was because his dad would not let them dress up or hangout with cholos. Students of Mexican descent who define themselves as Chicano or Cholo tend to have lower educational attainment (Feliciano Lec. 1/25/16).
