I had the pleasure of hearing Poncho Play music at Baby'O in the late 70's and mid 80's. He possesed a wonderful deep voice that truly shined over the loudspeakers at Baby'o. His brother Luis Ortega used to also play and each of them had a signature sound to their style and mixing. I always thought that Poncho had more of a pop-rock edge to him and that Pepe (Jose Luis) had more of a funky, disco and soul style.
Poncho was a great guy, I will always have fond memories of those great days at Baby'O during the best time in history which was the 70's and 80's. Most of all I believe that a DJ's job is to musically educate the crowds to what is good and to make people feel like they have slipped out of the world and all it's troubles, even if it is only for a few hours.
Jose Luis if you check this post from time to time i would love to hear from you if you have some time, I enjoyed to listen to you play all the time and I never really got to thank you for playing a song just for me at a club which in my opinion was not right for you, Cats. The song you played for me was Grooving You by Harvey Mason. Cheers and God Bless You ! Colourzone DJ. Toronto, Canada.

I had the pleasure of working at Baby'O with Poncho for 3 years, him and his brother Luis the best!
Great Family,
God Bless the Ortega Family.
