MIM: 2010 Grammy winners Los Texmaniacs create a unique Tex-Mex groove that blends Texas rock, conjunto, well-cured blues, and R&B riffs.
With a strong blending of fiddle, accordion, and guitar, these guys were fierce! There music was toe-tapping fun and they engaged the audience through the entire performance.
I was surprised at the Cajun influences in their Texas music. In the 20’s and 30’s, German and Czech immigrants (my ancestors) settled in the East Texas area bringing the accordion with them. It was not long before the Cajun French and Mexican influences had melded into the music Los Texmaniacs play today. It really was a fascinating show.
