Growing up the fifth of seven children in the border town of Brownsville, Texas, Rick del Castillo took full advantage of his older siblings large record collection. From The Beatles to Bach, Black Sabbath to BB King all musical styles were welcome. Around his 6th birthday Rick began banging on his mom’s old Folgers coffee cans. Sports eventually quelled his musical fire until his older siblings took an interest in the guitar. Rick caught the bug at twelve and has never looked back.
In Austin, he hooked up with his younger brother Mark and formed Del Castillo along with vocalist Alex Ruiz. With an incendiary blend of Gypsy passion meets full-throttle Rock the band immediately became a local sensation, grabbing the attention of film director Robert Rodriguez. In exchange for Rodriguez directing Del Castillo’s live DVD the band provided music for the film Once Upon A Time In Mexico. During this period Rodriguez hatched the idea to form a movie band. Chingon was born providing their iconic version of the classic “Malaguena Salerosa” for the movie Kill Bill Vol. II. Rick has continued to work with Rodriguez and has provided music for the last seven of Rodriguez’s films and now works with him for his new El Rey Television network.
Nessuno Mi Puo Giudicare
In Once Upon a Time in Mexico, the person actually playing the song La Malagueña Salerosa is Rick and not the familiar person in the footage named Antonio Banderas. Check it out HERE
