“This one’s for the abuelos, the abuelas, toda la familia. Big shout out to the homeboys, homegirls, the working class gente, the estudiantes, and everybody locked down. Los músicos, los taqueros, los cocineros, the low riders, the east siders, the lovers and the haters, and everybody in between. Until we meet again, stay brown and proud. With love y respeto desde East Side San Jose, Califas!”
With bright and sunny intros and outros by legendary radio host and DJ Chuy Gomez, East Side San Jose “Back in the Day in ESSJ” by Discos Resaca is a dazzling new full-length tribute to California Latinidad, with special attention to East San Jose. Switching from freestyle to soul to funk to cumbia before it’s even halfway over, the album brilliantly illustrates the diverse styles of Latin music from the Bay, California, and beyond. Featuring contributions by Mariposas del Alma, Brian Rivera, Yosimar Reyes, Sunny Ozuna, and more, it’s a joyous work, a family affair, a must-listen.
