Description
Hip music that everybody in the world can relate to, with the traditional conjunto elements, says Texmaniacs leader Max Baca of their Texas Mexican sound. Four masterful instrumentalists—Grammy-anointed bajo sexto player Max Baca, accordionist and Tropa F alumnus David FarÃas, conjunto tejano veteran bassist Óscar GarcÃa, and multi-instrumentalist Lorenzo MartÃnez on drums—breathe new life into the century-old music of the Texas Rio Grande Valley. Their mentor and friend, Tejano accordion great Flaco Jiménez, makes a special appearance. This recording received a 2009 GRAMMY Award for Best Tejano Album.
