Como Te Llamas Paloma by Angel Flores y Los Alacranes is far better then the Chamacos version. I used to play the Angel Flores version in a West Texas radio station and believe me its way better.

There’s nothing about Selena. On your list. What?!? Hello, La Reina? Ring a bell? She was, after all, the artist that brought Tejano back to mainstream Latin music.

Looks like his departure from secular music world was short lived. Apparently money is his true god…sad. Guess we’ll be seeing him at the next ‘tejano superfests’. “Ministry” huh?

Comment on ‘Go Tejano’ Day Record Turn Out! by Coffy

Why the farce? why do they insist on calling this event “Go Tejano Day” and then not have a Tejano group in their roster,this is a slap in the face toward Tejanos and their families,would you call a wienner inside a bun a TACO?This is as bad as the show Univision had for Selena,If we didn’t know any better, everyone that watch that show would think Selena was born in mexico instead of Texas,You don’t have be a rocket scientist to figure out that politicians especially the democrats and the Chamber Of Commerce in this country will go out of their way to please mexico and it’s people,but they don’t have to do it by forgetting to represent the millions of Tejanos that have lived,worked and died for this country

I’ve been listening to Tejano music since the early 60′s living in the Rio Grande Valley and listening to Paulino Bernal’s Baile Grande at the McAllen Civic Center,and it wasn’t called musica chicana,Tex Mex or Tejana,there really wasn’t a name for it,dances throughout the Rio Grande Valley called it polkas rancheras,and the reason was obvious,tejano conjuntos would copy a song written or composed by mexico’s songwriters like,Chucho Sanchez,Jose Alfredo Jimenez or Agustin Lara en change the beat from Mariachi to polka.Carried to other states by migrant Tejanos who made their living by working in the fields it grew in popularity,soon almost every state had a least a city with a hall that played polkas rancheras,The name Tejano started being used later because of it’s place of origen,During the chicano movement several bands like Little Joe used the music to help the cause,that’s why some people might call it chicano music,But it even though there are great bands now coming out of Michigan,Ohio,California,Utah,Illinois,Wisconsin and other states, it will always be Musica Tejana,and there’s no better example of how Tejanos lived worked and died with this music than Don Luis El Tejano
