Who is Beto? / ¿Quien es Beto? Beto was born in a small town located smack in the middle of a large urban city, in a hospital connected to a cantina. It was the middle of the night when most things are sleeping – except dreams and good conversation. Some claim it was deep in the Mexican frontera, although it just as easily could have been Central Texas. All we know for sure is that Beto was born from parents of contradiction… past and future, Mexican and American, hope and realism, tradition and pop. Mostly though, Beto was born from conversation.
