Many moons ago, seeing a criminal underdocumentation of Tejano and Conjunto music, Austin-based nonprofit organization Rancho Alegre began an ambitious project to travel the state of Texas recording oral histories with legends, veterans, and up-and-coming artists in Tejano and Conjunto music. These were a sort of proto-podcast, living on ranchoalegre.org.
Now it’s time to move these over to podcasting platforms for the rest of the world to enjoy. These are in English, Spanish, and Spanglish, depending on the preference of the interviewee, and conducted by the one and only Baldomero Cuellar.

Recorded in 2011 at Janie's Record Shop in San Antonio, Texas.
Long known for their popurris, San Antonio's Los Aguilares have enjoyed great success over their 58-year career in music. With brothers Genaro on vocals and bass, and Emilio on accordion, the group became a fan favorite and, like other hard-working conjuntos, toured extensively around Texas and the rest of the country.
After Emilio’s passing in 2009, the band continued the family musical tradition until 2018, when they hosted their final anniversary show. They also established the Emilio Aguilar Alzheimer’s Foundation in his honor to support families of Alzheimer’s patients in the San Antonio/Bexar County and to help research this disease.
Genaro is a humble man and an artist who is generous with his fans and media, with a friendly, positive demeanor that instantly puts anyone at ease. You can even hear it in this interview. Heck, you can even hear it when he sings.
We hope you enjoy getting to know Genaro and learning about one of the most popular groups in Conjunto history.
