Rancho Alegre Interview with Fito Olivares
Manage episode 434824413 series 3593787
Fito Olivares passed away on March 17, 2023 at age 75.
In July 2013, Rancho Alegre met up with the Cumbia legend before a show at Cuauhtemoc Hall in San Marcos, Texas, and he gave us what he said was one of the most in-depth and fulfilling interviews he had ever given up until that point.
We learned a lot about the man himself, his musical influences, his early solo career on Gil Records, his time with the old-school Conjunto Regional/early Norteño group Dueto Estrella, and much more from his 60-year career.
This interview is entirely in Spanish, but we're working on a transcription, which we will post on ranchoalegre.org soon.
Music played:
Cumbia de la Cobra
Que de Mala - Dueto Estrella
La Otra Musiquera - Tam y Tex
Esta Cobardia
La Sabrosona
