Los Gallos is working toward a new album by the end of this year!

As with every guest on Roots Music Rambler, we ask the question — Are you working on a new album. We did the same with this week’s guest Los Gallos. Their Mexican-influenced sound mixed with more Americana / singer-songwriter type songs is keeping the band high on the list of rising groups in the space.

One of the biggest inspirations for Chicago-based Los Gallos? Freddy Fender!

The fantastic Los Gallos is our latest guest on Roots Music Rambler. Ric Salazar and Henry Fajardo from the Chicago-based band join us to talk about their sound, their Mexican influences through their family heritage and a lot more.

Los Gallos was influenced by far more than traditional Mexican music in the member’s formative years

The latest episode of Roots Music Rambler is live! We visit with Chicago-based Los Gallos this week. Ric Salazar and Henry Fajardo talked to us about their Mexican heritage, traditional instrumentation and a lot more.

But they also explained why they’re not just influenced by Mexican traditional music. Both grew up in the U.S. and with the same popular music many of us did.

The Duality of Los Gallos’s music is intentional and the byproduct of the band’s backgrounds

Tomorrow is the day! Roots Music Rambler drops our new episode Friday morning with our guests this week — Los Gallos. Ric and Henry from the Chicago-based, Mexican-influenced band joined us to talk about their music, influences, instrumentation and more.

Ric admitted right out of the gate their duality of sound (traditional Mexican-sounding songs mixed with Americana singer-songwriter-type offerings) is quite intentional and the by-product of their collective backgrounds.

Hear the full episode, which includes Frank and Falls sharing news about the show and their weekly Pickin’ the Grinnin’ music recommendations, at rootsmusicrambler.com, now on YouTube as a full video show, or wherever you get your podcasts!

Los Gallos enjoys mixing cultures with traditional-sounds of Mexican music and modern Americana

A new episode of Roots Music Rambler drops Friday and we have a spicy episode for you this week! We welcome Ric and Henry from Los Gallos. The largely Mexican-American roster of the band plays an interesting combination of traditional sounding Mexican music, but also country, rock, blues and more that reminds people of Americana singer-songwriters.

We talked about the band’s music, influences, the mashup of cultures (which includes more than just two) and much more. Plus, Frank and Falls share some new news about the podcast and more.

Dial it up Friday morning at rootsmusicrambler.com, now on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
