Charros y Clásicos

Charros y Clásicos is a conversation at the crossroads of culture, identity, and sound. Hosted by Joel Lee Ozuna and Miguel Javier Gutierrez, this podcast delves into the rich worlds of mariachi and classical music—not just as genres, but as lived experiences that shape who we are. From the practice rooms of local schools to the stories passed down through generations, each episode explores how music becomes a bridge between tradition and transformation. Rooted in the Rio Grande Valley, Charros y Clásicos invites listeners to reflect, laugh, and reconnect with the sounds that define our roots and dreams.
