Los Morales Boyz interview w/ Compadresmusic.com

Fito Olivares passed away today 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 our website, ranchoalegre.org.
