Robert "Chalo" Ortiz isn't just a guitar virtuoso - he's an oratorical masterclass. Chalo inspires and entertains in this remarkable two-part interview, discussing his heritage and ancestry, growing up in California, having his guitar signed by Carlos Santana, how religion and spirituality influence his music and his life, his festival stories with Blinddog Smokin' and Soul Criminal, George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic at the Snowy Range Music Festival, and so much more. This is a long listen, but oh-so worth it; you won't forget Chalo or his stories!
