Noelia is a woman I have known all my life. As a child I played with her daughter who became my good friend in adulthood. I vividly remember walking down the street to her DVD rental store and picking out Mars Attack to watch with my dad. You can now find her at her store (which is also a laundromat) folding clothing in the back, or cooking a meal for her family. I interviewed her there while she spoke to customers, served rice for her nephew, and did laundry. Music was playing in the background as well as the steady…

Francisco “Pancho”, a local Captain and fisherman, was born in the neighboring state, Michoacan. When Pancho was just a kid, his parents decided to move their family of 11 to Sayulita, Nayarit, where other Michoacan friends and family had been migrating for a more peaceful life and better opportunities. Pancho’s first job in Sayulita, along with his mom, aunts and cousins was as a waiter at Chocobanana (hence his nickname “Pancho Banana”, from the association with the restaurant!). Pancho was then recruited to join Allycat as they were starting their boat charter business. He learned everything about boats from Darrin…

By Charlie Higgins Over the past three years, Frente al Punto Beach Club has become a favorite spot among expats, locals and visitors to hear live music in Sayulita. This is particularly true on Sunday evenings, when my group, Charlie Higgins & Sunset Station, draws a regular crowd of music-lovers each week with our evolving blend of Americana, soul and indie folk. I sincerely look forward to watching our audience—comprised of happy-go-lucky kids, laid back baby boomers, surprised tourists, scruffy surfers and everyone in between—listen attentively to our original songs, belt out the lyrics to their favorite covers and dance…
