A group of El Paso peeps, including a former “Local Loco”, now have their own tequila and that’s really good news for tequila lovers and aspiring musicians alike.

“Local Loco”, (a nickname I gave local musicians years ago), Jaime Cabrera and a few other El Pasoans have a brand new tequila coming out and music is part of the recipe.

Their love of music could also be a very, very big break for local musicians.

El Musico Tequila combines 2 of my favorite things; music and tequila. Now, they’re adding in another of my favorite things; helping aspiring bands get their proverbial “big break”.

El Musico Tequila And Music

When we set out to create El Músico, we learned of a handful of legendary Master Distillers that play classical music during fermentation. They believe the sound vibrations help the yeast break down sugars more harmoniously, resulting in a smoother, better-tasting tequila.  We fell in love with the idea and knew we would take it somewhere uncharted. – elmusicotequila.com

They’re absolutely taking the idea farther than anyone else ever has. They’re using the music of up and coming artists, (from all genres, not just classical), on each batch and the artists’ info will be on the bottle(s).
