Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on June 26, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Luis Valdez! The father of Chicano theater and the genius behind classics like "La Bamba" and "Zoot Suit," you've given us unforgettable moments that still make our hearts dance (and occasionally break into spontaneous song). Your storytelling magic has not only entertained but also inspired generations to embrace their heritage with pride—and maybe even rock a zoot suit or two.

From bringing Ritchie Valens' story vividly alive on screen to revolutionizing American theater by amplifying Latino voices, your legacy is timeless. May this birthday be as vibrant as your groundbreaking work—filled with laughter, music, joy...and absolutely no wardrobe malfunctions involving oversized suits. ¡Feliz cumpleaños!
