Regino Vasquez, companero, poeta, cantante, from
Jalostotitlan, Jalisco. Regino was also a zapatero and a baseball player in his
younger days. We met at Holden Village in the Cascade mountains and became
friends. Here we met El Salvadoran Bishop Medardo Gomez. After Regino read my
poem, The Subversive Cross/La Cruz
Subversiva, he turned it into the song recorded here. Also recorded in
this video is the song Cristo Rey for Santo Toribio, patron saint of the
immigrant crossing borders.
