Ranchera, Norteno, Canciones, Corridos, Conjunto, Tejano, Tex Mex .... it's all good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because of a lot of Czech immigrants who settled there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are also Polish communities south of San Antonio. But by far the greatest concentration of immigrants in south texas are of German descent. Believe it or not at one point in time German was the predominant language in SA. German and eastern Europeans brough the button accordion and the waltz to south central texas in 1840s. Multiple styles of Conjunto evovled from that influence. You can definitely hear the Oompah sound. Here's one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted October 2, 2018 Switched styles a little bit ago. From Spanish to French. Tex-Mex to Cajun. Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted October 2, 2018 First video - Almost prostitution. Second video - The only way Andy would promote Lou's new group was if he took Nico into the group. Makes you wonder what she did for him. Nancy is not in my collection. Velvet Underground is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But gotta give Bob credit - the overall style he established was original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
