CharroBeans: A Mariachi Podcast
Sammy Ramirez & Victor Estrada
CharroBeans is a podcast by mariachis Sammy Ramirez and Victor Estrada, based in Fort Worth, TX. Constantly living the gig life and after having played mariachi music coast to coast, here we choose to share our experiences with all of you. Enjoy.
Ciento Cuatro - Nubean Viajera
The CharroBoys discuss a very important topic: who/what has made the biggest impact on mariachi today? We discuss the different people and things that have molded the music like artists, arrangers, mariachi in schools, and its ventures around other genres. Disclaimer* we are no experts, just a couple of dudes that know nothing. Don’t trust us. Trust the experts, we can’t even read music 😬

Ciento Tres - Gabeano Barrera
This episode was outta pocket. Like literally. Clients and their weird sayings and doings, severe weather alerts, getting kissed on the cheek, cops grabbing a plate, weird key signatures, playing next to a fire for warmth. Outta pocket episode fr tho.

Ciento Dos - No Me Quemes Más
The CharroBoys had to record a lil early this week since Vic wasn’t gonna be in town, so he showed up in traje. We get into some good stuff this week like getting humbled musically, biology, someone else playing your instrument because you’re so bad, and playing in a group with a director like the movie Whiplash. Tengo miedo.

Ciento Uno - Tu Nombre Me Sabe A Kush
The CharroBoys talk about some good stuff here. They get into it with this week’s viral Facebook post, favorite celebrity mariachi moments, letting someone play your instrument, unpopular mariachi artist opinions, and the camaraderie with your fellow mariachi members.  All we know is we won’t send our singing videos to anyone anymore 😔

Cien - La Nueva Dimensión
Y’all thought it was over yet huh? The CharroBoys are back, baby. New studio, new equipment, and same beans. We’re happy to be back discussing the beautiful and tragic lives of working mariachi musicians like ourselves and many of you. We get back into the swing of things with talking about about what we’ve been up to the last couple of months, playing in rainy weather, the World Cup, people who ask for songs incorrectly, and dealing with intoxicated clients. We’re happy to be back, y’all.

Noventa y Nueve - Adiós Mis Chorreadas
Episode 99 is upon us, and as much as we want to do 100 for y’all, the CharroBoys are going on a break. Bringing this show to the best of our ability and availability to you is what makes this show special. In order to make 100 episodes more special, we have to take some time away from the pod to focus on our ourselves and come back even stronger. I have always made this show and it’s content a high priority and we cannot let that get in the way of other important factors of our lives. With that being said, we hope you enjoy one more episode for the time being. We can’t wait to be back with you, beans. Today, we get into the playing in bounce houses as kids, waiters criticizing your sound system, walking in with a horse, playing for Saul’s sister’s XV, and clients have hat just want cumbias. Y’all gonna dance for 2 hours or what? Hopefully we’re back soon, charros. 💚

Noventa y Seis - Toquen Me Los Aguacates
The CharroBoys spent their Labor Day recording for ya. We get into the way we put our suits on, the difference between a performance group and a gigging group, meeting in the wrong spot, rain ruining the party, and ending the night with a 4 hour gig.  What’s up with Vargas not doing Extravaganza this year?
