I sat down with Wadalupe and her collaborator 21 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: Eddie Druvalcava, who photographed the parties as a teenager, and 22 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: we talked about why party crews and their history mean 23 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: so much to them. Today we bring you that conversation. 24 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: I started off by asking why the Lupe a simple question, 25 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: what is a party grew? 26 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: It was a combination of boys and girls, and we 27 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: organized parties that were happening all over lay in backyards 28 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: and then also wear house parties. The party crew was 29 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: created by mostly teenagers from like thirteen fourteen through twenty 30 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: years old. You know, we were listening to like house 31 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: music and new wave and pretty much anything that we 32 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 2: could dance to. A lot of people saw that subculture 33 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: as almost like an alternative to gangs because people who 34 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: were creating these these party crews were people who were 35 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 2: almost looking for another way of identifying because let's say 36 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: their cousins or their brothers or sisters were in gangs. 37 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: What you were trying to do to not get into 38 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: a gang was you guys basically created your own kind 39 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: of gang, which was a crew, and it was about partying. 40 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: How did you create a party crew and what did 41 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: you guys do? 42 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: I think that there are many ways of getting into 43 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 2: a crew, but the most common way was someone would 44 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: initiate it or invite you to be in a cruise. 45 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: So how it happened for me was I was really 46 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: good friends with my friend Meadows.

You know, 177 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: we weren't all obsessed with photographing ourselves and each other. 178 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: So was it just like, oh, I'll just take some 179 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: pictures because it's fun and who knows, I mean, And 180 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: now you get to look at it and it's like, Wow, 181 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 1: you were really documenting a moment in history. 182 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 4: It was for fun. It was for fun and a 183 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 4: way to share with friends pictures that I would take 184 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 4: of them. And I think it was more about like 185 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 4: I'm getting cool points here, I'm getting published in this 186 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 4: magazine now, and that would get me into all the 187 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 4: parties for free, because they wanted to come out in 188 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 4: the magazine. And this style that was being published in 189 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 4: this magazine, which wasn't a brand or a branch of 190 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 4: Lowrider Magazine. It was being distributed all over southern California. 191 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 4: And so this style of people in this culture, you know, 192 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 4: you get rebels out in Orange County and like, how 193 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: did that happen? Is because they were following the trend 194 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 4: that we were setting in Bogaheit's East LA. So it 195 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 4: became like we were the trendsetters. 196 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: A favorite photograph of yours do you have? I mean, 197 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: you've got so many, but is there one in particular? 198 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: I have a throwback picture from nineteen ninety one with 199 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 4: my neighbor and our homies from the neighborhood. It's five 200 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 4: of us. We're on the stairway of Evergreen Cemetery Chapel. 201 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 4: And we did the update to that photo just six 202 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 4: months ago and now there's just two of us left. 203 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 4: These young men to my left died within two years 204 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 4: that were shot and killed. And then a gentleman to 205 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 4: my right, served a life sentence in jail, and then 206 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 4: he came out about three years ago, but he died 207 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 4: from hepatitis that was from using dirty needles for heroin 208 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 4: use in jail. So me and my neighbor Eric are 209 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 4: the last two left from that photo. There's so much 210 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 4: loss from that time frame where we were partying, and 211 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 4: there's this thing to call the Decade of Death from 212 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 4: eighty eight to ninety eight. That was over nearly a 213 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 4: thousand ganglated murders in La County alone for ten years. 214 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 4: So it was something that we experienced in the backyard 215 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 4: art and kind of what helped to stop that backyard 216 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 4: party sy because it just became a gang more for 217 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 4: after a while. 218 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: Buadelupe, your Instagram account vitran as irukas when you started 219 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: this in twenty fifteen, was it just like, Hey, you know, 220 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: I think I'll just post a couple of photographs and 221 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: see what happens, or did you really say, you know what, 222 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: I understand that I'm about to create a moment and 223 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: a community that is actually hungry for a place and 224 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: a voice. 225 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 3: I knew that I was hungry. 226 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: I knew that there was something that was missing, some 227 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 2: a piece of the puzzle that was missing. It definitely 228 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 2: started because I needed to identify with whatever that was 229 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 2: that I couldn't find anywhere else. I wasn't thinking that 230 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: I was about to create some sort of movement or 231 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: historic conversation. It was definitely out of urgency because I 232 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 2: remember living in New York, calling home and asking my sister, 233 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: can you talk to me about those parties that we 234 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 2: went to. Do you still have those photos that we 235 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: took at the mall? And she'd be like, oh, Lupe, 236 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: just let that go. That happened a lot, you know, 237 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: that happened with not just my sister, but a lot 238 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: of my friends. And I wasn't convinced, you know, I 239 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: wasn't convinced that that was like something that we experienced 240 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 2: and it was something just to leave in the past. 241 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your work, Wade Lupin, for 242 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: your work, Eddie, and thank you so much for creating 243 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: this community and for sharing it with me on Instagram 244 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: and on the radio.
