The genesis of "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)" reportedly occurred when Woody Guthrie was struck by the fact that radio and newspaper coverage of the Los Gatos plane crash did not give the victims' names, but instead referred to them merely as "deportees". Guthrie lived in New York City at the time, and none of the deportees' names were printed in the January 29, 1948, New York Times report, only those of the flight crew and the security guard. However, the local newspaper, The Fresno Bee, covered the tragedy and listed just a few of the known names of the deportees, though they were erroneous. Outraged by the lackluster coverage of the disaster and the omission of the Mexicans' names, Guthrie responded with a poem, which, when it was first written, featured only rudimentary musical accompaniment, with Guthrie chanting the song rather than singing it. In the poem, Guthrie assigned symbolic names to the dead: "Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita; adiós, mis amigos, Jesús y María...] A decade later, Guthrie's poem was set to music and given a haunting melody by a schoolteacher named Martin Hoffman. Shortly after, folk singer Pete Seeger, a friend of Woody Guthrie, began performing the song at concerts, and it was Seeger's rendition that popularized the song during this time.

Elephant Revival

Elephant Revival is a folk music group from Nederland, Colorado, formed in 2006. The band currently consists of Bonnie Paine, Bridget Law, Charlie Rose, Dango Rose, Daniel Sproul, and Darren Garvey, and has previously included founding members Sage Cook and Daniel Rodriguez. On June 17, 2016, the band narrowly escaped a bus fire the morning before a show at Music at the Mill in Hickory, North Carolina. Several unique instruments and belongings were destroyed in the fire, but the band members were unharmed and played the show that night with borrowed instruments and donated clothes. On February 9, 2018, the band announced they would take an indefinite hiatus "due to family matters."Their farewell show was on May 20, 2018. In fall 2020, Rodriguez announced that he would be releasing an album titled Sojourn of a Burning Sun, produced by bandmate Garvey. In interviews, he explained that the break-up of the band coincided with the ending of a romance between him and another band member. After a four-year hiatus, Elephant Revival reunited without Rodriguez for a performance in Lyons, Colorado in August 2022. As of 2023, they continue to perform infrequently in the U.S.
