Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on August 08, 1947)

¡Feliz cumpleaños, Alurista! Another year wiser and still mixing palabras like nobody else. From TunaLuna to your vibrant verses that dance effortlessly between English y Español, you've shown us poetry can be both revolutionary and fun—like a fiesta con mariachi meets spoken word slam.

Your voice continues to inspire the spirit of Aztlán, reminding us all que la cultura vive fuerte through every stanza you craft. May this birthday bring as much alegría as your words have brought readers everywhere. Keep shining bright como siempre; after all these years, you're still our favorite poetic maestro blending fronteras with flair!
