about

***100% of funds from downloads of this song will go to the Gofundme for Gloria Arellanes.***

Gloria Arellanes has been an inspiration to me. I wrote this song with Quetzal Flores several years ago. I wanted to use the Mexican corrido format for passing down an oral history through music. I think it is an especially important tool for women and people of color whose stories are oftentimes untold or erased.

Gloria Arellanes, a political activist, was one of the first women to join the Brown Berets during the Chicano Movement, as well as a co-founder of Las Adelitas de Aztlán. Similar to the Brown Berets, Las Adelitas de Aztlán strove to assist its community members in creating awareness for better bilingual education in Los Angeles as well as protesting against the Vietnam war. She is also a respected Tongva Elder of the first nation of the Los Angeles Basin & has fought for preservation of the indigenous people of Los Angeles. Now that she is in need of around-the-clock care, we are reaching out to the community she has spent her life serving. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this post and the love.

lyrics

Éste es el corrido de Gloria Arellanes
Peleo por su pueblo y derechos iguales
Allá en Café Piranya
Ellos se sentían iguales
Allá afuera el enemigo
Allá afuera los rivales
Luchando por conseguir (i-i-irrrrr)
Liberación verdadera

Se puso una boina de color café
Como las panteras, así como Che
En la clínica del barrio
Ella ayudaba la gente
Proporcionaban doctores
Y tratamiento decente
Luchando por conseguir (i-I-irrrr)
Liberación verdadera

Pero poco a poco fue un cambio ligero
Mujeres atrás y los hombres primero
Aunque todos cooperaban
El se creía el mero mero
Ella trabajando al lado
de aquel mismo compañero
Luchando por conseguir
Liberación verdadera

No nos olvidamos, nos inspiramos, pues la recordamos en esta canción
Ella eternamente estará presente, consciente y valiente en su rebellion

Hay un dicho sabio y con mucha razón
Que sin la mujer no hay revolución
Corazón de soldadera
Formo Adelitas de Aztlan
Verdaderas guerilleras
Combatían desigualdad
Luchando por conseguir
Liberación verdadera

Su boina café ya se la quitó
Pero con su ejemplo su pueblo inspiró
A las nuevas Adelitas
Tiene mucho que ofrecer
Y a Chicanas jovencitas
Que no se dan por vencer
Y luchan por conseguir
Liberación verdadera
