DAVE VALENTIN, 1980, Joe Conzo
During his early development, Joe ‘Joey’ Conzo bore witness to the volatile state of South Bronx, community activism, and the vanguard world of the Puerto Rican cultural music scene on its way to going global. Coming of age as a young man, and as a budding photographer, at that time, proved to be a baptism by fire.
