Sam Valle of Zamandoque Tarahum at La Justicia
Friday night is rock en Espanol night on 26th Street in Pilsen. It's the end-of-the-work-week, kick- back-with-a-beer-and-listen-to-live-music night.
At La Justicia (3901 W. 26th St.; 773-522-0041), Sam Valle gets the stage ready for action. The drummer of the house band Zamandoque Tarahum, he's also the sound engineer for La Justicia, a spot people in the neighborhood know as a Mexican restaurant and young Latinos around the city know as the place to go for rock en Espanol.
The bands that perform here one after another until close--usually three or four bands each Friday night--play straight-ahead, hard-driving rock 'n' roll with Spanish lyrics
They don't get paid much, but that's not the point. There's no cover charge, and almost anyone can get a shot at stage time.
"You don't play here for the money," Valle said.
...
The air is thick with smoke and chatter, young Latinos have been piling in the door for an hour, but Valle is unfazed.
"Put in another CD," he barks.
The next band arrives and an hour later the place is in full roar.
Valle uses hand signals to work out sound levels with his assistant and sweats through his T-shirt in an effort to keep the amplifiers from overloading. A dozen or so dancers crowd into a semi-circle around the stage, veering between dancing and a moshing.
Valle was born in 1980 in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and lived there until he was 9. He listened to mostly to the Mexican music that his grandparents favored, but upon moving to Chicago with his parents he got an earful of grunge bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
He got his formal introduction to music at Curie Metropolitan High School, where he studied classical guitar, and after graduation pulled a few band connections and got a place in Zamandoque Tarahum on drums.
Like the other band's members--and like musicians everywhere--Valle works a day job during the week, studying off and on to be a chef and working as an office temp.
"My dream is to live off the music, but I'm a realist," he said.
...
"We play Spanish rock because we don't want to be our parents," Valle said. -
