PRIME TIME WITH JOE ORTIZ INTERVIEWS DR. DAVID HAYES-BAUTISTA



Probably the most important interview I ever conducted was with Dr. David Hayes-Bautista, the prescient and visionary research specialist and writer from UCLA. In this 1988 interview, Dr. David discusses his book (The Burden of Support), which includes data and statistics that provide insights to the problems that will confront society if education and employment opportunities are denied to Mexican (Immigrants and) Americans. 25 years later, his prognostications are becoming a reality, to the detriment of American society.

JOE ORTIZ INTERVIEWS THE SALAS BROS.

 Attached is an MP3 of a one hour interview with the Salas Bros (of TIERRA fame) conducted 25 years ago at KPZE-AM on the "Prime Time with Joe Ortiz" program. This one hour interview will be housed at the Chicano Studies Learning Center at UCLA, along with about another 500 radios shows conducted by Joe Ortiz. The shows will eventually be digitalized and made available for research of Chicano history to teachers and students. How can we study Chicano history without including the significant contributions made to the music industry by The Salas Bros and TIERRA.

Joe has the distinction of being the first broadcaster to ever play TIERRA's music in 1971 on his radio show (IMPACT) at KLOS-FM, before they went on to become the most famous and legendary Latino music group in Chicano history.

If you can't download the MP3, send us an email at Joe.Ortiz9299@gmail.com and we will send it you. Enjoy a piece of Chicano music history.
