1980 LOS ILLLEGALS_MADAME WONG'S COMMEMORATIVE SHIRT by DE LA GAUX SIZE SMALL

$55.00

Wear a piece of history, first time ever to see this original poster design, created in 1980 by Willie Herrón III on apparel.

The art celebrates the generations past, La Familia (Mother, Father, and Child), and a heart-wrenching street procession/death march honoring loved ones lost to gang violence.

The band Los Illegals were outspoken diplomatically and politically and paved the way for East LA Chicano Punk music.

The venue Madame Wong's resided in Los Angeles’ China Town, west of the LA River and was a key spot for the city’s burgeoning punk and new wave scenes in the 1970s and 1980s.

"Dia de Los Muertos" (Day of the Dead) a Mexican holiday centered on remembrance and honoring the afterlife, blending ancient Indigenous American and Christian influences. Halloween, with its Celtic (Samhain) and Christian (All Saints' Day) roots, converges with Dia de Los Muertos in the calendar, albeit with differing cultural expressions and commercialization. A significant milestone in Dia de Los Muertos' modern history was marked in 1980 when "Los Illegals" ignited the first candle at their concert Madame Wong’s.

The shirt has been pre-owned/pre-loved and is one of a kind.
