Little Joe No Llore, Chingón!

An American Story: The Life of Little Joe

Little Joe is a stunning example of the American Dream. His paternal side literally fled just ahead of the Mexican Revolution confiscating their ranch. They escaped with what they could carry, coming to the United States with nothing. The family picked cotton, worked in the mines, played music and anything else to support the family. His maternal side had to leave before bandits took over their town.

From an early age, Joe picked cotton and picked his guitar. He soon realized the guitar would help support his family better and give him such joy. He learned from many musicians to make his compositions more diverse and uniquely his.

His main motivation was his brother, Jesse, who died too young and had so much faith in Joe and the “Family”. Joe still dedicates his music as well as his success to the memory of Jesse.

His fame increased his influence. His sense of responsibility extended from his immediate family, his audiences, to Hispanics, to the poor in general. Many products and political candidates sought to utilize Joe’s connection to the Hispanic population. He was careful with what his name was linked. His crusade against Diabetes stemmed from the loss of a friend to that disease as well as it being a large threat to Hispanics. Joe has always supported educational efforts as he knows education is the way out of poverty. And though he is away from poverty himself, he remains humble and appreciative for his fame.

Little Joe selected his biographer, Emma González, International Award Winning Author from Edinburg, Texas.

“After reading her book, Field Mice: Memoirs of A Migrant Child, I realized how similar our lives were as migrant children. She understood my story and would tell it just like I wanted it told,” Little Joe stated.
