Rancho Alegre Interview - Fito Olivares
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.
Fundraising update as of 2:30PM 3/2/23
Good afternoon! As of 2:30pm, we have raised approximately $18,000 through a combination of a grant from Texas Commission on the arts, private offline donations, and just over $7400 from our AmplifyATX campaign! Amplify ends at 6pm, and we will find out how much we have received in matching funds after Amplify ends.
THANK YOU to all who have pledged and given so far! We're feeling good and believe we can make it to the finish line!
