Joe "King" Carrasco

There is perhaps no greater authority on kicking around Mexico than Joe "King" Carrasco.
Catch him LIVE here at Nacho Daddy every Thursday & Saturday night.

Joe "King" Carrasco, the author of "Buena” and “Nacho Daddy" and hundreds of other tunes that recall the Tex-Mex trash rock of "Wooly Bully" and "96 Tears" and cut it with Mexicali Carrasco' Hot Sauce. "I make my music for people traveling in Mexico."   If we could, we would've included a flexi-disc full of tune like "Manana," "Escondido," "Dinero" and "Vamos a Bailar”, “Rock Este Noche”, or “Que Wow”  so you could dance to this article, but the best we could do is consult with the "King" for lil' lowdown and pass it along with this neato map.

Carrasco hails from Austin, "but I basically live in Mexico when I’m not on the road. When I was 17 I found paradise in Puerto Escondido, and I made a pact with myself never to give it up."   So he’s living out his royal fantasy to become a rockin' ambassador for all things Mexican. This is the man who wrote "Caca de Vaca"!
