Guitarra El Cartel de Tucson Arizona


Humans of Tucson, Arizona
April 12, 2018

This is what happens when you skip the drive-through at the McDonald's on Irvington in the Spectrum Center, Tucson, Arizona. You park your car, go inside, and meet a man with a white guitar. A white guitar handpainted with a list of names of El Cartel bosses. Included in the upper right-hand corner is a small photo of Malvede, and an image of St. Jude Thaddaeus is on the back of his guitar. 

I could not stop and hear his story because I did not want to be late for the writing class I teach at Pima Community College Desert Vista Campus.  I hope to meet this man again on another early morning coffee run on my way to campus. 

I want to know his story.



Location: Tucson, AZ, USA

Wildcat Pow Wow U of AZ April 11 2008

First, sorry for the delay between posts. I was in New Orleans last week, so photos of that are next. The U of AZ Wildcat Pow Wow was spectacular again this year. I did not use the flash on my camera because I did not want to bother the dancers, so some of my pics are a little fuzzy. You can never take photographs during religious dances, like the Gourd Dance, but it's okay to take them while the dancers are competing. Notice the numbers pinned on the clothing. A pow wow is a family affair. It's so refreshing to see multiple generations dancing together from Golden Age 50+, Adults 18-49, Teens 13-17, Juniors 7-12, to Tiny Tots. People arrive early with folding chairs, portable shade canopies, and coolers full of food. To begin, there is a Grand Entry headed by the US flag and an Eagle staff held by champion fancy dancers. Next in the Grand Entry come the honored Veterans, elders, and those holding titles such as Miss Native American U of AZ. After these groups, all of the danc

Barak, Hillary, and John: How much will gas be a year from now?

These were the gas prices posted at Fry's Grocery store on Grant and Alvernon in Tucson, Arizona on Monday, March 3, 2008. I wonder if in a year we'll be saying, "Remember when gas was cheap?" or will we be asking, "Can it really go higher than $4.00 a gallon?" Instead of engaging in the "performance art" of the presidential campaign, I wish the candidates would address the issues that affect working people, i.e., those of us who pump our own gas. Instead of attacking one another, why aren't they talking about how they will generate jobs and provide the education and training for those jobs? It's only March, and I'm already sick of what is so far just a popularity contest. As far as the so-called "Hispanic" vote goes, my siblings and I are not voting for the same candidates. We are first generation Mexican Americans and did not agree on the O.J. verdict or whether Elian Gonzales should have gone back to Cuba or stay with his

April 13, 2018 Alonzo Amador is The Man With the White Guitar Hoping to learn more about the man with the white guitar, I returned to the McDonalds the next morning at 7:30 a.m. on my way to an 8:15 a.m. class. Again, there was little time to chat, but he is a regular at this location for his morning "Senior Discount" coffee. That's my usual coffee order too. Between my not perfect Spanish and his more than adequate English, we spoke for a few minutes.  When I asked him about why he wrote the names of El Cartel on his guitar, he said that he writes corridos about the adventures of these drug bosses.  Corridos are stories told in song. What separates this song form from others is its Mexican origins and the subject matter common to the stories. With origins in the Mexican Revolution, the stories do not usually include tales of a broken heart. The stories serve a purpose -- to speak out against injustice or to share the ways people survive the har
