Please make sure to hit that SUBSCRIBE button, and check out the archive of the #Discodelicos sessions. For our 22nd session, we are honored to have been blessed with a 44-minute set by the legendary Ruben Molina! Ruben Molina is a prominent independent scholar, soul music collector, expert selector, as well as an author, producer, and filmmaker. He holds an extensive collection of Mexican-American and soul music recordings, which he has compiled since he was a teenager in 1960’s Los Angeles. In 2000, Ruben penned his first book, "The Old Barrio Guide to Low Rider Music," which cataloged the music consumed by Chicanos in the '70s low rider culture. In 2008, he published "Chicano Soul: Recordings and History of an American Culture," further documenting the recordings and history of Mexican-American soul groups and garage bands throughout the Southwest. In 2011 he became co-founder of the Southern California record collective called the Southern Soul Spinners. Most recently his DJ sets have been enjoyed in Los Angeles, San Diego, New York, Oakland, Chicago, Houston, San Antonio, San Francisco, Seattle, England, Mexico City, Spain, Germany and Japan. In this set, filmed during the Discodelic "Latinos Con Soul" festival in the bay area, summer 2024, Molina drops nothing but heavies. Dedicated to all the lovers of the world on this #valetinesday weekend, we hope y'all sway to the sounds of Flaco Soul. = = = Recorded live at the Discodelic store in San Francisco, we aim to bring you eclectic mixes by DJs and record collectors from around the world!
