CharroBeans: A Mariachi Podcast

The CharroBoys are going on hiatus. With the real world just around the corner, Sammy and Victor are taking a break from the pod to focus on other projects. We get into why taking care of yourself is important, representation in media, Sammy making mariachi content for the last ten years, and how mariachi can make you a well-rounded musician. We hope to be back soon, love you. 

The CharroBoys have one episode left before taking a break. Recording a day late, we get into the cost of being a functioning mariachi, getting back to the real world, wishing our planta was better, and performing at Hooters. Los casados were in the doghouse after attending the aforementioned location. 

The CharroBoys are releasing two more episodes before taking a break. With the new school year coming up for the both of us, we’re going to be focusing on some new things. We also get into being happy with yourself, Sammy uses a sleep machine for his sleep apnea, it working so well he was late, playing a gig at the town in the movie Twisters, and playing a risky el mono de alambre at a party. Sammy has never been more awake 👀

The CharroBoys recorded a little late this week but we still poppin'. We get into some stuff that happened this week like staying at the planta til three in the morning, Don Miguel being on vacation, Sammy's body giving up on him, and taking care of your body as a mariachi. We also talk about our listeners' longest, toughest gigs. Remember kids, the older you get the more your body turns on a check engine light. 

The CharroBoys are back after a couple of weeks. They talk about time off, Sammy visiting Mexico and having no water, and our first time in 10 years going to Albuquerque Mariachi Spectacular Mariachi Conference. We get into climbing mountains, exploring the city, and answering the question if we're interested in competing next year. Hmmmmmmm.

The CharroBoys sit down with friend of the podcast Willie Acuña, harpist for Mariachi Sol de Mexico. They get into it with his upbringing, his love for jarocho music, which BBQ is the best, harp implementation in school and professional groups, and his experience making it into a world-renowned mariachi group. This episode has been a long time coming, thanks Willie. 

The CharroBoys were busy last week doing side quests. We get into Victor opening for Mariachi Sol de Mexico and taking performance enhancers before the show. Also Sammy goes viral playing late 90s rock at an MLB game and then playing with Gerardo Ortiz. It was also Guerra de Los Marriachis at the planta this week. Come listen! 🎧 

The CharroBoys celebrate 4 years of CharroBeans podcast. We get nostalgic about the years, getting food poisoning (again), and dealing with NPC’s outside of the planta. Sorry for what I did to the bathroom 🥲

The CharroBoys get into it this week talking about Sammy’s students graduating, gigging with lots of mud, watching people dance salsa and killer mosquitos coming back. The audacity to sting us at our most vulnerable. 

The CharroBoys braved the severe thunderstorms and tornadoes to bring you this episode. Since it's graduation season, we look back at the times when life was much simpler. We get into career choices, figuring out what to do with the rest of our lives, and also passing up storm chasers on the way to a gig. We ain't scared of no naders.
