Maximino Chávez “El Gatillero de Durango” (San Juan del Río, Durango, México)


He was born very close of La Coyotada, the place were Villa was born. His origins can be found in extreme poverty as many Mexicans from the north part of the country. He started to play guitar and sing some corridos at the age of six in order to bring some pesos to his family. From the old men learned the stories of the Revolution and from the school teachers the first lessons of patriotism. He composed his first corrido at the age of twelve. From there, he started a musical carreer that carried him to the list of great heroes of the oral musical tradition in Mexico. The poverty of his territory inspired him to compose themes of social topics as “The seal of poverty” “The wall in the border”. Lots of bandas record his compositions and his style is influential in the musical scene of the North of Mexico and the states of Texas, California and New Mexico. At present he conducts the radio program “Corridos pa’ la Raza” from Texas. The original score for Pancho Villa, La Revolución no ha terminado is his first work for cinema.
