The CharroBoys out here talking bout life. We get into how life goes unexpectedly, changing career paths, bossy little kids, losing the van to a cow, and playing for the world's strongest man again. Gotta pour one out for the mariachi van, yall. :(

The CharroBoys had so much to talk about that we didn't even get into everything. We got into some good stuff including the viral post on IG discussing the working conditions musicians are put into, twerking ladies, obnoxious guests, Saul almost losing his very expensive violin at the Bermuda Triangle, and if it's better to hire old heads or new gens. This episode is packed with laughs so come holla. 

The CharroBoys sit down with their first guest in a long time. We get the opportunity to talk with voz/violin/heartthrob Robert López of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán. Being the first ever Mexican-American member to join Vargas full-time in its 6th generation, we get into how we get acclimated in the mariachi world. We talk about the gigs he was doing at 7 years old, impromptu Sol de Mexico audition, and balancing his life between living in LA and performing with the world’s greatest mariachi. Big thanks to the homie for letting us spend some time with him. 

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.
