Joshua Josue's Come on Let's go Buddy Holly / Ritchie Valens Tribute

Description

Chicano-rock // homage to Richie Valens and Buddy Holly Broadcast to the Surf Ballroom is, in every sense, a message sent back to the final stage where Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and The Big Bopper last performed on February 2, 1959. That night, alongside their iconic hits, they also carried with them fragments of songs—demos and unfinished ideas—that they never had the chance to complete. With this album, I’ve returned to Buddy Holly’s intimate apartment tapes and Ritchie Valens’ final demo recordings, imagining what these songs might have become had their lives not been cut short. This project is not a venture into 1950s nostalgia, but a heartfelt homage to the songwriters who shaped my musical journey. Each track is completed with the sensitivity and clarity of modern recording techniques, while staying true to the spirit and forward momentum that Buddy and Ritchie might have brought to these songs had they lived.
