Cantina
Hagar, already a successful rock musician, visited the Mexican town of Cabo San Lucas in the early 1980s. Hagar joined the band Van Halen in 1985 after the departure of its former singer, David Lee Roth. Seeking a place for himself and his friends to relax and play music, he convinced the Van Halen members to partner in opening a large bar, restaurant, and performance space. The cantina was originally a financial failure, leading Hagar to buy out his band-mates. Under new management, the bar became popular with both locals and tourists as the town quickly grew into a major resort. In 2004, after plans fell through to open in Las Vegas, Nevada, Hagar opened a second location in the basement of the historic Harveys casino on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe.[1][2] Rock and roll (also spelled rock n roll, especially in its first decade), also called rock, is a form of popular music, usually featuring vocals (often with vocal harmony), electric guitars and a strong back beat; other instruments, such as the saxophone, are common in some styles. ...

Hagar claims he coined the name after watching a man walk unsteadily along a local beach. Using the town's nickname, Cabo (which means "cape" in Spanish), and shortening "wobble" to "wabo" he said of the man that he was doing the "Cabo wabo". In 1988 he wrote a song of that name for Van Halen's 1988 album OU812. In 1990 he hired Noel Vestri a designer through Van's Tennis Shoe to design a logo which is used today. OU812 is the eighth album by American hard rock band Van Halen, released in 1988. ...
Tequila In the late 1990s Hagar began selling his patrons a house brand of hand-made tequila he commissioned from a family-owned distillery in the state of Jalisco. In 1999 a wine importer from Napa Valley began to import the tequila in to the United States. An instant success, sales rose from 37,000 cases the first year to 140,000 cases in 2006, making it the second-best selling premium tequila in the United States.[3] Location within Mexico Country Capital Municipalities 126 Largest City Guadalajara Government - Governor Emilio González Márquez (PAN) - Federal Deputies PAN: 18 PRI: 1 - Federal Senators Eva Contreras (PAN) Héctor Pérez (PAN) Ramiro Hernández (PRI) Area Ranked 6th - State 30,534. ...
