Why do Hispanics claim oldies music?

Question

I was listening to Art Laboe and all I heard was countless hispanic accents calling in to request dedications to people that are locked up and the songs they requested were all oldies soul music.

Not only that but in southern cali the chollos love to drive old cars and bump oldies.

Ive always been curious about this.

Going to school< i was witness to countless riots between the blacks and hispanics, but I've never heard blacks bumping or dedicating mexican mariachi music.

Why?

Answer 2

I'm 13 too and I listen to oldies music! I LOVE IT!! If I could I would marry oldies music! I love all the stuff like , Elvis, The Everly Brothers, Isley Brothers, The Beatles, Jerry Lewis, Queen, George Michael, Abba, James Brown, The Rolling Stones!!!............there's millions of more!!! But I love The Beatles the best. I just love love love the 50's 60's 70's and 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish we went to the same school together!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just hate the music we have now, It;s garbage! I just can;t listen to it!

Answer 3

Any music from the 50's or 60 just reminds me of racism, no matter how good it was. When i think of the 60's i think of MLK being shot at a memphis hotel, jfk being shot in dallas, and black people getting hosed down in the middle of the street protesting. And the people who got food poured on them at a restaurant cause they wanted to eat.



And the people who wanted to go college and president had to send guards to let them in.



Hardly think about great music then. Even though there was. I let go of the past a long time ago, but i wont relive it by bringing up that old music.

Answer 4

Because a lot of the music from that time used afro and latino beats.

Answer 5

because we cant listen to what ever we want,and we like oldies...soooo...i dont really see an issue...

the riots were over culture clashes..not music...

and its spelled CHOLO...if you put two "L's" its a "Y" sound...so....what you put it "CHOYO" :]

Answer 6

It's good music to just kick back and chill.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
