00:06We don't think about being women, doing stuff differently.
00:10We just do it because we've done this our entire lives.
00:15Sometimes people will say, so who produced that track?
00:17That guy?
00:18And it's, no, we did that.
00:20They may think someone else had to pay for us to be in this city and record.
00:24No, we paid for that, ourselves, with our savings.
00:30Our music is not like, we are girls and we are powerful, yeah.
00:34It's like, okay, these are black women doing something cool.
00:37I'm inspired by it.
01:00My name is Charlie.
01:03My name is Margo.
01:05And together, we are Chargo.
01:09Spirit fingers.
01:17The way that Charlie and I met, I was working in Boston.
01:20I just graduated from school.
01:22I have the typical office job that they tell you to get me and graduate.
01:26And I see this girl on the corner with a blonde mohawk and, like, red cowboy boots.
01:34And she's playing classical music.
01:36And I say, I played the viola.
01:39Do you want to play together sometime?
01:40And she's like, hey, girl.
01:42The next day, we went and played on the same street corner.
01:46Automatically, people stopped.
01:48A crowd formed.
01:49People are coming up to us like, hey, are you a band?
01:53And that's how we knew, let's just do it.
02:02One of the best experiences we've had in the subway.
02:05This woman, she's like, I'm getting ready to have brain surgery.
02:09I want to put your CD in before I go under because your music was so inspiring.
02:16And I want that to be potentially the last thing that I hear.
02:24Before I go into the surgery.
02:26If I don't make it out.
02:26If I don't make it out.
02:27She was like, I was so inspired by your music and so inspired by your energy
02:31that that's the sound I want to hear.
02:37Those are the moments where you're like, okay, you know what?
02:40That inspiration that you can give people where they're really that touch is worth it.
02:44So.
02:49So some of the artists we've collaborated with are really cool.
02:51First was Kendrick Lamar before any lyrics were written to Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe.
02:56And then that led to writing all over Schoolboy Q's album.
02:59And then that led to writing on J. Cole's album.
03:03We get to play at lots of museums like the Brooklyn Museum, the MoMA.
03:07We can blend what we do classically with some of the new and with some of the fun stuff that's
03:12happening right now.
03:13This is the first pass.
03:15This is the first pass.
03:15Oh my God.
03:15This is the first pass.
03:16Drama roll for you.
03:25Yes!
03:26Yes!
03:28Yes!
03:29Yes!
03:31Okay.
03:31I met Chargo at South by Southwest.
03:33And we met on this rooftop.
03:35They were dancing and being Chargo, you know?
03:37Yes!
03:39They have enough confidence in themselves to do whatever they want to do.
03:43They instill that same confidence in everyone around them.
03:53That is dope.
03:55That is going to go so hard on the project.
04:02This is called Two Stars.
04:06I understand that by being brown women and doing what we do, it's beautiful because I know that just visually
04:14that creates something for people.
04:15Two little stars sit right by each other. One of the stars shine right over me all around.
04:25And I used to kind of like shy away from it because I'm just like, hey, just listen to my
04:29music. It's not about all this political stuff.
04:31But I understand that it's powerful and I appreciate that and I embrace it.
04:35And it just makes me want to keep doing what I'm doing so that people can like, A, enjoy the
04:40music.
04:40I enjoy making the music, but also so that I can continue to inspire.
04:44You make me want to throw my paper out the window. Call Sallie Mae, let that hoe know.
04:53I ain't never gonna pay my college loans. Throw my paper out the window. Call Sallie Mae, let that hoe
05:00know.
05:03I ain't never gonna pay my college loans.
05:06I don't know so many people, but I think it's in all different places and I think.
