In this episode of South Central State of Mind I talk to the one and only Régulo Caro. We discuss the responsibility of corridistas, Emilio Garra and the importance of corridos. the interview was done in December of 2019 thanks to Régulo Caro for allowing me the time and space to share ideas with him. As a longtime fan being able to talk with my favorite corridista about corridos was an amazing experience.
