In June 2019, Rancho Alegre finally caught up to Little Miss Dynamite herself, Shelly Lares. We had been after her since we first started doing interviews in 2011 and the stars finally aligned and our schedules finally allowed for us to finally meet.
We're excited to announce that we're doing a little "rebranding" here at Rancho Alegre and getting back in the swing of things, post-festival.
We decided that we have so many projects that we should change our organization's name to simply "Rancho Alegre." That's what everyone calls us anyway.
We are happy to report (ha, see what we did there?) that our first Annual Report is now available! In this report, we take a look at our biggest year ever and get ready to make even bigger moves in 2019. To view the report online, click here or click the image below.
Humilde Corazones is the second studio effort from Rio Grande Valley-based Gilberto "Chore" Perez Jr y Su Conjunto. Among the ten solid, hardcore Conjunto tracks are three original compositions by Gilberto Jr ("Dame Otra Oportunidad," "Luz Perlita" and "Estrellitas Caen Del Cielo") and two from longtime friend and collaborator Julian Garcia ("Hay Veces Que Nada El Pato" and "El Sueño de Julian").
Rancho Alegre has been selected to participate in a charity competition with Tiff's Treats to celebrate their 21st Anniversary!
