CharroBeans: A Mariachi Podcast

Ciento Setenta y Ocho - Las Chiapanecuhhs

The CharroBoys had a freestyle episode. We talk about talking with smelly charros during the gig, not getting an address for the gig, seeing the generation of teenagers, having to miss gigs because of life. Come hang, charros. 

Ciento Setenta y Siete - Te Vas A Quedar Con Las Canas

The CharroBoys talk about how old habits never seem to die. We talk about issues in a mariachi that affected them back in the day, and seem to still be a problem today. We talk old heads disrespecting the new charros, “performance enchancers”, and people using their phones to read lyrics. Also had a conga about AI taking over musicians job in a couple years. Rip creativity. 

Ciento Setenta y Seis - Entre El Mamón Y Yo

The CharroBoys get into legends talk. After Leyendas del Mariachi came out with a U.S.A group, the mariachi community is choosing sides, apparently? We get into what we've seen as consumers of mariachi content and also discuss your answers, too. We also get into other things like having only one serenade this weekend, Sammy taking his students to the Mariachi State Festival, and Victor playing 5 hours with a new group. Come hang, charros. 

Ciento Setenta y Cinco - Miraron Chambear a Un Hombre

The CharroBoys celebrate Victor’s birthday by recording an episode for y’all. Victor recalls a gig where horses were threatening violence and Sammy talk about his experience attending TMEA in San Antonio this past weekend. Meeting new people, reconnecting with old acquaintances, and seeing students big talent shine in the All State concerts. 

Ciento Setenta y Cuatro - Me Dediqué a Marrearte

The CharroBoys were off because of scheduling and a freeze that took over Texas. We're thawed off now, getting into what we've been up to. Victor has been gigging with other groups, Sammy's school competition got postponed, and we endured the ice storm for 5 days. Come hang.

Ciento Setenta y Tres - Siempre En Mi Frente

The CharroBoys had no work this week. After not getting any chamba with our regular group, Victor se fue de maroma with another group while Sammy acted as a civilian. We get into Sammy being a husband for a weekend, playing with a group with different rep, we ask you guys what you do when you're not working. Makes the weekend feel so long fr.

Ciento Setenta y Dos - Me Refiero a Bean

The CharroBoys are back after a lil breaky break. We get into what we’ve been up to the last couple weeks like buying a car in Utah and Victor post-grad. We also get into if we’ve ever been discriminating against in a traje. We talk how the political climate could be affecting our mariachi and Hispanic community. 

Ciento Setenta y Uno - Morenita Mía

The CharroBoys survived Virgencita weekend, barely. Sammy is sick and recounts with Victor the 21 hours they spent playing over the span of four days. And in the middle of all that, Victor graduated from his university and had to clock right back in immediately after. We get into other things like waking up early for misas, Sammy playing for the Dallas Marathon, and playing a spontaneous 4-hour gig for the famous Incredible Man. So much happened in one weekend, we barely made it.

Ciento Setenta - Qué Manera de Joder

The CharroBoys get into the cold weather starting. Accommodation at gigs seems nonexistent sometimes. We also get into Victor finally graduating from massage school later this week, our boss's 40th birthday bash, a surprise early Virgen gig, and playing at a very expensive house. Have you ever played in 20 degree weather? 

Ciento Sesenta y Nueve - La Noche de Mi Tamal

The CharroBoys took Thanksgiving week off. Sammy went to Mexico and had his little brother cover him. We also get into Sammy's birthday, having relative pitch, and not being able to enjoy anything when you are musically inclined. Mexico has the best snacks.
