Annotation — Mexican-American / Hispanic Songs
Released in Alice, Texas, USA, the song "El veterano" ("The Veteran") (Nopal # NOP-901). This song was performed by Eligio Escobar of the group Los Guadalupanos. He was born on 1 December 1926, and grew up in Ben Bolt, Texas, USA. He served in the US army in Japan in World War Two, and this song focused on a Mexican-American veteran of World War Two, but it was released in the Vietnam-era and thus open to contemporary interpretation and comment.
