El Paso received a free spectacle of fine art, custom lowriders, vintage bombs, poetry readings, cultural dance and more this Sunday September 19th, 2010 at Lincoln Park. The event came as a surprise to the community, courtesy of the Lincoln Park Conservation Committee, Latin Pride Car Club and dozens of local and out of state car clubs.
The car and art show featured live dance performances by Danza Azteca, a colorful group that emulates the dance and costume of the ancient Aztecs.
The United States Marine Corp fascinated proud Americans by marching down Lincoln Parks Durazno Street, the heart of El Paso, Texas U.S.A.
Grandparents, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters who came to celebrate Lincoln Park Day witnessed the best in art, murals, dance, culture, bikes, vintage cars, trucks and lowriders.
The show included an inspiring speech by Lowrider Hall of Famer Nick Hernandez of Odessa, Texas. Hernandez, who helped establish Taste of Latin Car Club of Odessa expressed his admiration for El Paso, a city he says feels like home.
Latin Pride car club president Hector Gonzalez thanked all car clubs and show car owners in attendance by awarding them a Lincoln Park plaque as a token of true appreciation. A lowriding poem written by David Gonzales of Latin Pride Car Club was read over a microphone in dedication to all car clubs who helped sponsor the “Chuco Suave” pillar mural created by El Paso artist Gabriel Gaytan.
The Chuco Suave mural consists of a zoot suiter standing behind a colorful city skyline. Hovering atop is a huge Pegasus, an image that remind many of Leo Rivera, a lowrider activist who fought hard to stop police harassment on lowriders in El Paso. Rivera, who passed away nearly a decade ago incorporated the Pegasus as the theme of his show quality 1979 Lincoln Mark IV.
Rivera also served as president of Presence Car Club and helped establish the El Paso Lowrider Association, an organization that no longer exists.
“Chuco Suave” wasn’t the only fresh mural presented at Lincoln Park. Artist Jesus “Cimi” Alvarado, who was born in El Paso’s Segundo Barrio, felt that the park would benefit with a new mural dedicated to the women of both El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico. Alvarado’s mural features a portrait of a young Mexican-American woman standing proudly in front of the Santa Fe International Bridge that borders both El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
The mural is topped off with a portrait of two vintage bombs that symbolize El Paso's powerful lowrider culture.
We are proud to present our visitors with this in-depth, bird’s eye view of art and lowriding at it’s finest. Enjoy!
