About this listen

Head south to Alice, Texas, with El Mesteno Podcast! In this episode, "Rancho Alegre: El Origen," hosts David Flores and Homero Vera dive into the uplifting story of how the barrio of Rancho Alegre, or "Happy Ranch," got its name. Based on the firsthand account of pionero Juan C. Rodriguez, discover the tale of the Rodriguez family, who put down roots in South Texas with the purchase of two and a half acres in 1939. The name, a blend of a classic Mexican movie and the joyful spirit (la alegría) of migrant farmworkers gathering for social dances after a hard day's labor, is a monument to the resilience and unbreakable spirit of the Mexican American community. ¡Escúchale! (Listen up!)
