The Vaquero Wizard - Felipe Orozco

Our newest Green Chili Chisme episode features multidisciplinary artist Felipe Orozco — a singer who performs on dancing horses for thousands, a painter whose equestrian work recently debuted in a Los Angeles gallery, and the host of Flavors of Mexico on Apple TV.

Felipe shares his journey from immigrating to Santa Ana at age five, to overcoming bullying, to discovering his voice in high school choir, to singing in European cathedrals — a pivotal moment that shaped his career. We also discuss heritage, mentors, rodeos, art, and the creative fusion that defines his work today.
