Recorded in July 2011 at El Torreón Restaurant in San Antonio, Texas.
Joe Gonzales passed away today in San Antonio at the age of 61. He was known in the Conjunto world as "El Gambler" because of his time playing bass with Ruben Naranjo y Los Gamblers in the later years of Ruben's career, as well as his friendship with the beloved legend. After Ruben's passing, Joe began his own group and switched over to accordion and primera voz, remaining faithful to Ruben's signature style and the distinctive Alice, Texas Conjunto sound.
In this interview, get to know this most humble man with a puro Conjunto heart and hear his story in his own words and voice. The interview is in the type of Spanglish commonly spoken in South Texas, effortlessly switching between Spanish and English in one sentence.
