CharroBeans: A Mariachi Podcast

The CharroBoys stay cookin’. In this episode we get into the elementary school years, people’s voices, getting finessed by the meseras, playing at a sports bar for two nights, starving, and last minute gigs at the jefecita’s house. Why do older charros feel the need to put down the younger generation? 

The CharroBoys are killin’ it. We get into US history, armonia instruments, lil trip to SA, getting threatened with work til 3am, very public PDA, and super rough traffic after a light drizzle. What’s the farthest you’ve traveled for a gig? 8 hours is enough. 

The CharroBoys get to 90 episodes! We talk about growing up in North Side Fort Worth, gigs canceling last minute, playing impromptu misa music, disgusted quinceañeras, zumba venues, and last minute gig additions. What is your biggest client pet peeve? 

The CharroBoys are back once again after some vacation and time off. We get back into the swing of things discussing our time off, Sammy visiting Mexico, playing with people filling in, watching Vargas and going back to the Albuquerque Mariachi Conference. It was a fun one getting together again. 

The CharroBoys will be back in two weeks after Albuquerque. For now we went in on this episode discussing our first cars, playing for las divorciadas, going back to OKC for a wedding with bad ass kids, playing in small towns, gender reveals with fireworks. What would you do if you saw an ex at a gig? 

The CharroBoys went this week without their boss for two days. We get into improvising without a head honcho, Father’s Day weekend, a priest that was very extra, playing an anime intro for a quinceañera, playing close to the local strip clubs, and Vic accompanying Shaila Dúrcal except not really. Got a pic thooo. 

The CharroBoys celebrate (for real this time) 2 years worth of CharroBeans Podcast by doing our first live episode. It was great thanking you guys for coming back every week. We eat some cake and discuss the past 2 years and also get into playing til 2 am on a Thursday, 2 hours turning into 4 hours at a party where the requests don’t stop, playing at venues that felt like saunas, and waiting for fights at a gig. Thanks for supporting us up til now, y’all. 

The CharroBoys kinda messed up their 2 year anniversary. Whoops. But we still get into it with this episode by reflecting on the last couple years playing in one group, seeing mariachis out of their traje, guys impressing girls with songs, wearing fake nails for the first time, and getting deceived at the bar.

The CharroBoys get serious for a sec. The community of Uvalde, TX lost 21 lives, something that continues to be a problem in our home state. 21 lives at an elementary school. Nothing has been done to change the laws to obtain these weapons that time and time again have given people the opportunity to murder innocent people. There is no one solution, but doing nothing changes nothing.

We also get into food poisoning a year ago, movies as a kid, cologne, making noise in church, venues with no parking, and other fun stuff. It's a long one, sorry.

The CharroBoys kept it real this week. We get into why people that feel the need to put down other musicians, why they’re the worst, supporting your fellow charros, cuhh chambelanes, hot venues, playing for a white dude who can sing mariachi songs, and what could’ve been. 💔
