Luis “Louie” Ibarra, a longtime Pueblo disc jockey who used his warm and inviting voice to share his love for Tejano music with Southern Colorado, died Jan. 2 from COVID-19 complications. He was 74 years old.
Ibarra grew up in San Antonio, Texas, where he developed a love for music that he carried with him the rest of his life.
“My grandfather was a musician, so my dad pretty much grew up around musicians,” said one of Louie s sons, Danny Ibarra.
“He played with some pretty prominent musicians at the time, so that’s how my dad got involved. And then being from San Antonio right when Tejano music pretty much started and got its big boom, my dad was there as a young man and just fell in love with it.”
