<p>Two-time Tejano Music Awards nominees <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/laura-denisse">Laura Denisse Y Los Brillantes</a></strong> are giving their fans a preview of what’s coming in 2024, with the official U.S. release of their latest single “Necesito Un Beso,” off their upcoming <em>Deluxe</em> album slated to hit the streets in March. The single, released via <strong>Mountain City Records</strong>-Nashville, sees the band fusing Tejano with the Southern country twang rooted deep in the streets of Nashville’s Music Row. </p>
<span id="more-69814"></span>
<p>With its lovesick-themed lyrics written by lead singer Laura Denisse, the single explores the emotional struggles experienced when lovers split but can’t let go. The laid-back pace, serene accordion, the strong role of the pedal steel, and the general tone of the lyric come together perfectly, displaying the band’s indebtedness to the Tejano, Norteño and Country worlds. </p>
<p>“Our music is like if Texas, Nashville and Mexico met at a party and became friends,” says Laura Denisse. “The Tejano fans and radio stations have been very welcoming, and we are proud to represent this style of music, that we love so much, everywhere we go, especially in Nashville where we are re-introducing that market to a sound they knew but had not heard in a while. I’m proud of that. Tejano Lives.” </p>
<p>After a breakthrough year in which Laura Denisse Y Los Brillantes embarked on a national tour, reached #1 on different Tejano charts and earned Tejano Music Award nominations for Best New Group and Best New Female Vocalist, the band continues their momentum into 2024 with the launch of “Necesito Un Beso”, setting the precedent for what is to come. Along with a new album, the band is preparing for a tour that will take them across the U.S. with dates to be announced soon. </p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-1.png?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="1024" width="1024" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy photo</figcaption></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/demmi-garcia">Demmi Garcia</a></strong> has been called “Tejano’s Sweetheart” for her sweet voice and charming personality. She rose to fame in 2021/2022 with her participation in the Tejano Music Award-winning collaboration “Nada De Ti” with <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/shelly-lares">Shelly Lares</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/monica-saldivar">Monica Saldivar</a></strong>, and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/sonja-de-la-paz">Sonja De La Paz</a></strong>, as well as debuting her hit singles “Con Tu Amor” featuring <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/david-lee-garza">David Lee Garza</a></strong>, and her whimsical cumbia “Mariposas”. She seemed to have it all: a successful career, a loving family, and a supportive boyfriend and drummer, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/monico-cortez-iii">Monico Cortez III</a></strong>.</p>
<span id="more-69275"></span>
<p>But everything changed in October 2022, when Monico passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in Demmi’s arms in their new apartment. He was only 24 years old. Demmi was devastated by the loss of her soulmate and musical partner. She took a break from the industry to cope with her grief.</p>
<p>“It’s still a struggle for me to even venture back into the music scene just because he was my drummer as well. He’s a very accomplished Tejano and Conjunto drummer,” Demmi tells <em>Tejano Nation</em>. “It’s pretty hard to get back at it but I know that he wouldn’t want me to stop and I took the break that I needed, now it’s just time to get back at it.”</p>
<p>A little over a year later, Demmi is returning to the industry with her new emotional cumbia appropriately titled “Te Extraño”, which means “I Miss You” in Spanish. The song is a tribute to her late boyfriend, written by Demmi and her father (and musical director) <strong>Michael Garcia</strong>. </p>
<p>“The lyrics in the song were things I missed about him and my dad turned it into this song,” explained Demmi. “I wrote the second verse to the song and it just all came together. It was my way of grieving. It is my cry out to the love of my life and how much I miss him. It’s a very special song to me. I can only pray that he hears it.”</p>
<p>“Te Extraño” features beautiful melodies and emotional vocals that sound as if the young artist is on the verge of tears. Demmi speaks to her love asking him to return and sings to him that she needs help to move on with life without him.</p>
<p>Demmi is a musician at heart, so she’s proud that every element of this song was orchestrated by her father. With the help of the infamous <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/joey-jmz">Joey “Jamz’ Jimenez</a></strong> on drums, Demmi couldn’t think of anyone better to accompany her on drums where her late drummer once stood, as Jimenez was Cortez’s favorite drummer.</p>
<p>“I couldn’t have asked for anything better because it’s not just anybody that’s in that spot. I couldn’t have put just any random drummer there where my boyfriend once stood,” said Demmi. “It had to be somebody special and obviously somebody capable and Joey was it. I can’t thank him enough for what he did and for putting his heart into it as much as I put my heart into it.”</p>
<p>Additionally, beautiful accordion melodies are sprinkled on top by the great <strong>Ralph Garcia</strong>, who also lent his recording studio, <strong>Ralph’s Music Factory</strong>, and his engineering skills to record the beautiful tribute.</p>
<p>“Te Extraño” was released on all digital streaming platforms on December 3, which was appropriately chosen as the release date since it is Demmi’s boyfriend’s heavenly birthday. He would have turned 26 years old. “Te Extraño” will be featured on her late boyfriend’s father’s, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/monico-cortez-ii">Monico Cortez II</a></strong>, a tribute album titled “Mi Hijo, Mi Angel”, which means “My Son, My Angel” in Spanish, released on the same day.</p>
<p>Demmi hopes that her song will touch the hearts of those who have lost a loved one and that it will honor the memory of Monico III. She also hopes that it will mark a new chapter in her career, as she plans to release more songs and albums in the future. She says that Monico is always with her in spirit and that he inspires her to keep singing and making music.</p>
<p>Demmi Garcia is a Tejano star who has shown resilience and courage in the face of tragedy. She has turned her pain into art and has given us a song that is both heartbreaking and uplifting. She is a testament to the power of love and music.</p>

<p>NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It’s here, just in time for the holidays! <strong>Mountain City Records Nashville</strong>–<strong>La Cara Productions</strong> and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/tejano-music-awards">Tejano Music Awards</a></strong> nominee <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/laura-denisse">Laura Denisse Y Los Brillantes</a></strong> are at it again. This time around they’re spreading holiday cheer with their take on the Country Christmas classic, “Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy” (Papi Se Parece A Santa). </p>
<span id="more-69068"></span>
<p>“This is an early Christmas gift for all of our fans around the world,” says Laura Denisse.</p>
<p>“Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy” is a Christmas song co-written and recorded by <strong>Buck Owens</strong> and <strong>Don Rich</strong>. After its initial recording in 1965, the song has been covered by several country music artists, but this is the first time it has been translated into Spanish, something Laura Denisse Y Los Brillantes felt was necessary. One listen is all it took, and the band immediately knew they wanted to record and share it with their Spanish speaking fanbase. </p>
<p>“There are certain songs that you sing and leave alone. Others are so good or, in this case, funny, and you wish your abuelita could understand the lyrics. This was one of those songs, so I decided to respectfully translate the lyrics,” added Laura Denise. “We then sprinkled it with our own sazon (seasoning) and Nashville has taken a liking to it, and we’ve had great reviews so far. That lets me know we did the right thing. We hope you have fun with this one.” </p>
<p>In honor of this holiday release, Laura Denisse Y Los Brillantes will be doing some giveaways throughout the month of December so stay connected with the band on social media for your chance to receive a little gift from the band. </p>
<p>“Santa Looks A Lot Like Daddy (Santa Se Parece A Papi)” is available now to download on your favorite digital music platform or at your local Tejano radio station. Enjoy! Happy Holidays y Feliz Navidad! </p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2023/11/image-10.jpeg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="1024" width="1024" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy photo</figcaption></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/angelica">Angelica Y Moneda</a></strong> have just dropped their new single “Karma,” a song that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever been hurt or betrayed by someone they trusted. The song is the latest single from their upcoming sophomore album expected to be released in 2024. </p>
<span id="more-69005"></span>
<p>“Life inspired us to record this song,” Angelica tells <em>Tejano Nation</em>. “My eyes welled up with tears the first time I heard it and we knew we had to record it. I think the title of the song says it all. We’ve all experienced hurt or betrayal. The funny thing is that we think we’re over a situation, but we never really get over deep hurt. We just push those feelings down so that we can get on with the rest of our lives, but they’re always there. It’s a song like ‘Karma’ that brings all those feelings back up to the surface.” </p>
<p>The song tells the story of a person who finds out that their partner has been cheating on them, but it also applies to any kind of betrayal in relationships or friendships. The song conveys the idea that “what goes around comes around,” that’s “Karma.” </p>
<p>“We believe that there’s good karma and bad karma, what you get is what you give,” Angelica added. </p>
<p>The song was written by <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/eduardo-anguiano">Eduardo “Yayo” Anguiano</a></strong>, who lives in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. He is an amazing songwriter who currently has another hit song on the Latin <em>Billboard</em> charts called “Neta Que No.” </p>
<p>“Karma” was produced at <strong>Rokkore Studio</strong> by Grammy Award winner <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/lorenzo-banda">Lorenzo “Papo” Banda</a></strong>, bassist with <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/elida-reyna">Elida y Avante</a></strong>. “I had the privilege and honor of producing and being a part of such a great song,” said Banda. “My musical brother and partner on the Moneda project, Tweet Juarez delivers an accordion track that makes you feel the hurt in this song. ‘Karma’ was a challenge for me,” Papo said. </p>
<p>Angelica’s favorite part of the song is the accordion solo by Grammy Award winner <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/tweet-juarez">Tweet Juarez</a></strong>. “He made the accordion cry. That’s the part of the song that gets me,” she said. </p>
<p>The team is working hard to finish up Angelica’s sophomore album, which will showcase her talent and versatility as a singer and songwriter. </p>
<p>Angelica Y Moneda are wrapping up the holiday season with a trip to Tolleson, Arizona, for the Luces De Navidad event on December 10, where they will perform their new single and other songs from their repertoire. Don’t miss this opportunity to see them live and support their music! </p>
<p>“Karma” by Angelica Y Moneda is available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other streaming platforms.</p>

This is their first post-pandemic album release from <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/nextgen-latinx-records">NextGen Latinx Records</a></strong> and is sure to be a hit among fans of the “Next Gen Chicanos.”</p>
<span id="more-67950"></span>
<p>“This is definitely the best work we‘ve put out, so far. I feel like 20 years from now, we‘ll look back and say ‘This is the album where we really found our sound, where we found our artistic identity!’,” states <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/mike-torres-iii">Mike Torres III</a></strong>, co-founder, bandleader, and vocalist, who produced the record. He continues “That‘s how we came up with the idea to title the album <em>PRESENTANDO</em>. We are introducing the world to who we are today, who we have become.“</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/john-ontiveros">John Ontiveros</a></strong>, the Grammy Award-winning lead trumpet player and co-founder of the group, engineered and mixed the album at their home base, 45HQ STUDIOS in the historic Westside of San Antonio, TX. </p>
<p>“This album is a sonic experience of this band that we hadn‘t been able to achieve before,” proclaimed Ontiveros. “You can hear every nuance, every instrument, every ounce of love that we poured into the songs. It‘s such a great representation of us.”</p>
<p>The album was mastered by 17-time Grammy Award-winning producer & engineer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/gilbert-velasquez">Gilbert Velasquez</a></strong>, who has been a long-time mentor and collaborator with the group.</p>
<p>“We had great performances in the studio by everyone in the band and a great mix,” raves Ontiveros. “Then we had the magic touch of Gilbert Velasquez, who brought my mix into HD!”</p>

<p>The album is bursting at the seams with energy and the musical authority that fans have come to expect from LA 45. The two songs chosen for the double single release showcase all of this. “Quiero Que Sepas”<em> </em>highlights the band’s classic brass sound and their fusion with the ever-popular tone of the accordion. While “Quieres Ser Mi Amante”<em> </em>is a prime example of how the band is bringing the orquesta legacy into the 21st century. The album is a contemporary representation of the bilingual beauty of the art of Chicano music.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2023/10/eya-cierraesaboquita.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="1024" width="1024" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of Freddie Records</figcaption></figure>
<p>Fans of <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/elida-reyna">Elida Reyna Y Avante</a></strong> have been eagerly waiting for new music from the Latin music powerhouse, and the wait is almost over. The group has just shared the first look at the cover art and an audio teaser for their highly-anticipated new single “Cierra Esa Boquita” on their social media accounts.</p>
<span id="more-67796"></span>
<p>The cover art features Elida Reyna with a finger over her lips in a symbolic gesture to keep quiet. The title of the song, which translates to “Shut That Mouth”, is written in white letters.</p>
<p>The audio teaser gives a glimpse of the song and the powerful vocals of Elida Reyna, who sings about a woman fed up with hearing her ex-partner talk badly about her in front of others. But there are always two sides to a story, and if the ex doesn’t shut up, she’ll tell hers.</p>
<p>The song was written by <strong>Miguel Zol</strong>a and <strong>Rodrigo Barbadillo</strong> and produced by <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/lalo-reyna">Lalo Reyna III</a></strong>, the musical director and drummer of Elida Reyna Y Avante.</p>
<p>“Cierra Esa Boquita” will be released to radio this week and will be available on all digital music platforms soon from <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/freddie-records">Freddie Records</a></strong>. </p>

<p>If you are looking for a new song to add to your playlist for the upcoming Day of the Dead celebration, look no further than “La Llorona.” The collaboration from talented guitarist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ez-cin">EZ Cin</a></strong> with <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/rhonda-garcia">Rhonda Garcia</a></strong>, a renowned vocalist and violinist in the mariachi and Tejano scene, delivers a stunning rendition of the classic folk song.</p>
<span id="more-67675"></span>
<p>“La Llorona” is a song inspired by the legend of the weeping woman, a ghostly figure who wanders the night looking for her lost children. The song is a homage to the ancestors and the culture of Mexico, especially during the festive and colorful holiday of <strong>Dia De Los Muertos</strong>, or Day of the Dead.</p>
<p>EZ Cin wanted to create a song that would honor his heritage and celebrate the life and death of his loved ones. He was thrilled to work with Rhonda Garcia, whom he admires for her talent and experience.</p>
<p>“Rhonda is an amazing singer and violinist who has been in the mariachi and Tejano scene for a long time. She was the first woman to join the famous group Mariachi Campanas De America, and she has worked with legends like Celia Cruz, Vicente and Alejandro Fernandez, and Gloria Estefan. She also joined Mariachi Los Caporales, becoming the group’s first female as well. She has a powerful voice that gives this song life and emotion,” EZ Cin says.</p>
<p>“La Llorona” features a soothing guitar melody that accompanies the sultry vocals of Garcia that will touch your heart and make you feel the spirit of Dia De Los Muertos. It is a song that celebrates the past, the present, and the future of Latin music. You can listen to it on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other platforms. Don’t miss this amazing collaboration between EZ Cin and Rhonda Garcia! Watch the video below.</p>

<p>“Kinda sad because we lost our drummer, which is my son at the age the 24,” said Cortez. “I was telling the guys, this is crazy, this is our busiest year. We were celebrating our 10-year anniversary in the music business, the whole year we were busy, and then the passing of Monico III.” </p>
<span id="more-63818"></span>
<p><strong>Monico Cortez III</strong> passed away in his sleep on October 1, 2022. What was the cause of the young musician’s death? No answers were found except he had a seizure in his sleep and unfortunately never recovered. Heartbreak can paralyze you, especially when it’s one of your children. Monico and the band took a month off from performing to mourn his son. </p>
<p>At the funeral, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/javier-galvan">Javier Galvan</a></strong> delivered a heart-felt eulogy. One week later, Monico contacted Galvan about a song he wanted to put together to honor his son. Surprisingly and remarkably, Galvan had already started writing after he left the funeral home. </p>
<p>All the musical elements started taking place, a collaboration between amazing musicians, like Grammy Award winner<strong> <a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/david-lee-garza">David Lee Garza</a>. </strong>After a conversation with Garza, Grammy-winning producer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/gilbert-velasquez">Gilbert Velasquez</a></strong> was added to the project along with Los Musicales lead singer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/cezar-martinez">Cezar Martinez</a>,</strong> Grammy winner <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/chente-barrera">Chente Barerra</a>, </strong>and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/marco-jaime">Marco Jaime</a>.</strong></p>
<p>The new project is a song in honor of his son, “Mi Hijo, Mi Angel.” Monico got a little emotional and shared his favorite lyric from the song. He said, “I can’t wait to reunite with you. I know you’re up in Heaven with the Lord.” </p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2023/07/358085663_6841961579156568_2299407602645173255_n.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p>Monico shared fond memories with his son. “I have so many. He was our drummer so every time on stage, I would turn around and look at him. He would have this big smile on his face.”</p>
<p>An EP is scheduled for release soon that will pay tribute to Monico Cortez III. Plus a music video is planned for the new single featuring many photos and videos together with Monico III. </p>
<p>According to his Facebook page, Monico Cortez III shared how much he loved to be on the stage playing the drums but also how much he loved his Dad. In a Facebook post celebrating his father’s birthday he wrote: “Dad, you were there for me from the day I was born, always having my best interests in mind. You are one of the most important people in my life and I love you with all my heart. I feel stronger just knowing that my dad believes in me, and I feel blessed knowing that he loves me more than anything else in the whole world. Happy birthday, Dad! Mr.MC2!!”</p>
<p>We know that music heals. “When words fail, music speaks,” Monico II expresed at the end of the interview.</p>

<p>Daily prayers and encouraging posts are on Monico’s Facebook page. How can a man be so inspiring while living with sadness? Faith and God.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/las-fenix">Las Fenix</a></strong> continues to place Regional Mexican music on center stage with their very unique and fresh style. The Rodríguez sisters from Houston, Texas, premiered the official music video for the romantic cumbia “333.”</p>
<span id="more-63510"></span>
<p>Their brand new single “333”, written by singer-songwriter <strong>Uriel Barrera</strong>, talks of new love and the signs of the universe after Cupid works his magic.</p>
<p>“It feels like it’s one of the only love songs we have in our whole repertoire because we only sing about <em>despecho</em> (spite) and heartbreak and you know throwing a little bit of shade to the men,” said <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/nadia-rodriguez">Nadia Rodriguez</a></strong> of Las Fenix. “But this song we actually really love and it’s pretty much saying there’s just so many signs saying that this is where I’m supposed to be. You are the person for me and we’re meant to be together and life is just throwing me signs left and right. <em>Tres, tres, tres, dos, dos, dos</em>, and that’s just what it is, we were meant for each other and life is telling me this is where I’m supposed to be at.”</p>
<p>The official music video for the romantic cumbia features a movie-like storyline.</p>
<p>“We were actually thinking about doing a musical, like something simple, like maybe not a storyline but they ended up showing us the story and we really liked it,” added Nadia. “It’s cute, you know, it kind of gives you ‘The Notebook’ vibe. So, we really liked it and we liked the way it turned out.”</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2023/06/denimoralescdcover.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of El Nido Records</figcaption></figure>
<p>Two-time Latin Grammy-nominated artist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/deni-morales">Deni Morales</a></strong> dropped his solo debut Mariachi album <em>Enternamente Enamorado</em> (Eternally In Love), which celebrates the timeless theme of love that transcends borders and cultures. It is a stunning tribute to the enduring power of love and the cultural unity that music can achieve. Inspired by the music his parents grew up with, this album features a selection of songs that celebrate the rich traditions of mariachi music.</p>
<span id="more-63548"></span>
<p>“Starting off with the name, it represents how love lasts forever. Not only the feeling of love but as well as the music that is sung within my album which are songs from the late ’70s, early ’80s,” Morales tells <em>Tejano Nation</em>. “We wanted to unite the generations with the music of the ’70s and ’80s to modern arrangements with mariachi today.”</p>
<p>The album is a Mariachi project that aptly embodies the rich cultural heritage and musical traditions of Mexico, as it pertains to this genre of music. Notably, while the music is rooted in Mexican culture, it is worth mentioning that the lyrics and songs featured on the album were written exclusively by non-Mexican songwriters and singers. This artistic choice was motivated by a desire to promote cultural harmony and inclusiveness, by bringing together diverse cultures through music.</p>
<p>“We also wanted to do a cultural union in the sense that these songs are all by Latin American artists and we put in a very Mexican genre which is mariachi and unite all the cultures in music,” said Morales.</p>
<p>Produced in the United States, Mexico, and Spain, <em>Eternamente Enamorado</em> is the result of ten months of hard work and dedication. Morales worked tirelessly to bring his own unique interpretation to each track, infusing each song with his own passion, energy, and love for the music.</p>
<p>“It’s almost as if I’m playing a different character with each song,” added Morales. “It’s telling a completely different story with each song but they’re all very emotionally driven.”</p>
<p>Deni Morales’ powerful vocals and the expert musicianship of his band bring each song to life, transporting listeners on a musical journey through the heart of Mexican culture.</p>
<p><em>Eternamente Enamorado</em> is more than just a celebration of music and culture. It’s a testament to the enduring power of love, and a reminder that this powerful force can break through generations and unite us all. With each track, Deni Morales shows us that love is eternal and that it has the power to transcend language, borders, and cultural divides.</p>
<p><em>Eternamente Enamorado</em> from Deni Morales is available to stream or download on all digital music platforms.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/siggno">Grupo Siggno</a></strong> premiered their new single and music video, “Te Odio” (I Hate You), on Friday (June 16). </p>
<span id="more-63562"></span>
<p>Siggno frontman <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jesse-turner">Jesse Turner</a></strong> shared the story about the Latin Grammy-winning group’s latest release <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.facebook.com/officialsiggno/posts/pfbid0VgLCtmxULSSuiPSLCeybWzv4JmgznQwy8gRF4oxYHK7Q5ran7vykyiiKmXp4MAZPl?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZWSVcROw5UgXuj6VneQeqfIGgOpJ1L5VEOqaKrizMi93LNTk8fi4nmQO9QGTbVnbxdXPZGenLpL4BFvErvlcwd1RgpP-r4LT3Sol6fYc9U3nt5p08ABFmNU3xfR5qknPPG5hJtYv1CHjTOUXN344KEyrJGj063H6P7HBVV13fHP7BO3TJsvGS2rJk4o1DRHm4s&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R" target="_blank">in a video</a> shared via Facebook. </p>
<p>“The new single is called ‘I Hate You.’ There’s some strong words,” he said. “My friend, he’s upset. He comes home one day and says, ‘Man, I’m so mad. Not only at her but at myself.”</p>
<p>Turner asked his friend to share his thoughts.</p>
<p>“And it was like everything he was saying, there was a song,” said Turner. “You must think that I’m hurting without you and you tell people that I’m not happy. You’re not even in my thoughts. You’re not even on the tip of my tongue. You’re the one that is suffering because I’m happy. What you did is that you tore my heart into a million pieces but I found comfort and I found peace in being with somebody else. Our relationship’s over, I’m never going to go back to you. Not that you wanted me back and a big part of me wants to say this, it wants to say that I hate you!”</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2023/06/lauradenisseylosbrillantes.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Facebook @LauraDenisseOficial</figcaption></figure>
<p>NASHVILLE, TN — Fresh off their Spring tour which took them through Texas, Tennessee, California, and an appearance at Monterrey’s acclaimed <strong>Nortex Fest</strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/laura-denisse">Laura Denisse Y Los Brillantes</a></strong> debuts their latest single, “Cuando Pienso En Ti” off the band’s first Nashville produced Country Tejano album <em>Fortune</em>. </p>
<span id="more-63495"></span>
<p>Recorded during a tour stop in Nashville, where Laura and the band teamed up with a good friend, Mexican American multi-instrumentalist and producer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/misa-arriaga">Misa Arriaga</a></strong> (Kacey Musgraves) and Grand Ole Opry, house band steel guitarist, <strong>Eddy Dunlap</strong> (Luke Combs, Mickey Guyton, Clay Walker), the track is a testament of the magic that happens in the studios of Music City’s Music Row. </p>
<p>“Cuando Pienso En Ti” was penned by Laura Denisse and brought to life by producer Arriaga while taking a break between takes during one of their recording sessions. </p>
<p>“I wrote this song in Misa’s Nashville studio,” states Laura. “I was feeling very nostalgic due to being away from my family that was in Mexico. I was extremely sentimental. There was a bitter cold that enveloped the city that grey morning and to top it all off, it was my birthday. The tour had managed to make me homesick and my spirit was sad. Misa was taking a break from the control board and began playing a random sequence of chords on a guitar. As I started listening more intently to the chord progression, my emotions got going, lyrics started flowing through my mind and I instantly asked Misa to continue playing as I wrote. The song began to take form. Soon after, we called Los Brillantes back in and gave the amazing Eddy Dunlap a translated version of the lyric, which he soaked in, conjuring up the vibe that gave more life to the song.” </p>
<p>Then, Dunlap simply let the weeping steel guitar flow gracefully with the accordion creating an enchanting melody. </p>
<p>Laura adds, “By the end of the night, we had recorded the song like in the old days, in one take.” </p>
<p>The beauty of uniting the Tejano Conjunto sound and the Classic Country twang is something producer Misa Arriaga knows all too well. Tejano, Conjunto, and Tex-Mex are musical styles the Nashville-based producer mastered while growing up in Jasper, Texas. Arriaga carries his Mexican heritage proudly and rightfully seemed like the perfect fit for this project. They weren’t wrong. </p>
<p>Regarding the song, Laura says, “It’s about reminiscing. Yes, the song speaks about pain, the kind of pain one feels when you miss a loved one but focuses on the peace you get the moment you remember that special person that is no longer there.” </p>
<p>An old school, dream weave bolero, simple, sincere, and unpretentious, “Cuando Pienso En Ti”, is one that will have you sitting back enjoying the summer, a time of year when we collectively take leave of our senses, and reminiscing about a loved one that has departed, that first summer crush you ever got cozy on the beach with, or that special someone that is no longer present yet makes your heart smile every time they cross your mind.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2023/06/img_8053.jpeg?w=791" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p>The re-emergence of <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/laura-linda">Laura Linda</a></strong> continues with the release of her latest single, a cover of “Cuidarte El Alma,” a song originally recorded by Puerto Rican Latin Pop singer <strong>Chayanne</strong> in 2003.</p>
<span id="more-63344"></span>
<p>Laura Linda’s version was produced by <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/severo-contreras">Sevy Contreras</a></strong> and features a more Regional Mexican sound.</p>
<p>“We went ahead and changed it to estilo Tejano. We did it in a cumbia,” Laura Linda tells <em>Tejano Nation</em>. “But I wouldn’t say so much Tejano. I think it’s more Mexcian Regional that we did, you know, just to kind of open up and broaden the market a little bit and being able to contribute to all sorts of different markets.”</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/monica-saldivar">Monica Saldivar</a></strong> teamed with her mentor and Tejano ROOTS Hall of Famer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/shelly-lares">Shelly Lares</a></strong> for a duet of “No Me Olvides,” a song originally recorded by “Little Miss Dynamite” in 1998.</p>
<span id="more-63382"></span>
<p>“I was so fortunate to be able to not only rerecord one of my all-time favorite Shelly Lares songs but to be able to be in the studio with one of my mentors and have her produce it and sing it along with me meant the world to me,” Saldivar shared via social media. “Throughout the past few years, I have had the awesome opportunity to have been invited to sing ‘No Me Olvides’ with Shelly numerous times including being one of her special guests at Vegas Tejano Takeover during her Vegas Farewell show which was also included on her very first live album and then again during Shelly’s Last Bow tribute concert. So to say this song is super important to me is an understatement. So here it is!”</p>
<p>Lares commented, “Omg Monica! This song and collab means alot to me too. It has been my honor to be here for you and to see you succeeding in what you love! To hear you sing my song is something I will never be able to put into words. I hope everyone loves it as much as you and I do!! Love you!”</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/eunic">Eunice</a></strong> released her debut album, <em>Lo Que Soy</em>, on May 20 from <strong>Colibri Music Records</strong>. The album is the best way to describe the 26-year-old Tejano singer from Tlatelolco, Mexico City, who is an intense dreamer.</p>
<span id="more-63319"></span>
<p>Eunice launched her debut single “Quien Mas Te Amo” last December, and the song by the Mexican singer was well received collecting over 15,000 Spotify streams.</p>

<p>“Since my first single was released, not only did my career as an artist begin, but I was able to begin to fulfill one of the biggest dreams I had since I was a child: Becoming a Singer,” Eunice tells <em>Tejano Nation</em>.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that her parents and family are not musical in any sort of way, they taught her to appreciate and enjoy every aspect of the world of music.</p>
<p>“I would be lying when I say that Tejano music was 100% present in my upbringing, but it was a process that over time I began to value, I think it is a wonderful genre that deserves to be placed at a global level,” said Eunice. “These reasons are what would lead me to decide that my first musical release should be embraced by the genre of Tejano music.”</p>
<p>“Siempre Estaré” was the second single released from her debut album, a special tribute to all the people who have left this world. The track is full of different nuances, starting with the idea of having a saxophone within the instrumentation.</p>

<p>The production team of <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/christopher-alva">Christopher Alva</a></strong>, <strong>Mario Sanmarti</strong>, <strong>Alejandro Gonzalez</strong>, and <strong>Vladimir Suarez</strong> shaped the wow factor for the album, looking for innovation within Tejano without losing the traditional essence.</p>
<p>Eunice has begun her artistic career with performances at various venues in her home country of Mexico with plans of touring the U.S.</p>
<p>“Making Tejano music from the center of Mexico seems crazy, knowing that on this side there is not a strong industry like in Texas and northern Mexico,” said Eunice. “However, I would like my audience to know that I did not decide to be part of this world for trend, I do it primarily because I love music and because in the Tejano genre, I found a way to express lyrically and musically ‘Lo Que Soy.’ Long live Tejano music!”</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/80a2dd65-f650-4eba-b9b4-56437bb7d071/57EEC9F2-2571-4A65-8AA9-B8405C816EEA.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of Aluz Records</figcaption></figure>
<p>Tejano newcomer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/steffanie-martinez">Steffanie Martinez</a></strong> released her debut Tejano album <em>La Vida</em>. The album’s release is a goal the San Antonio mother of three has been working towards for many years and the project is here.</p>
<span id="more-63290"></span>
<p>After her small business of 18 years ended, Martinez moved back to San Antonio from Mexico earning income by cleaning houses and saving to record an album.</p>
<p>“It was all to save and go to my music until thankfully I met my boyfriend Jeffrey Martinez and after a little while we decided let’s make this work,” Steffanie tells <em>Tejano Nation</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Jeffrey Martinez</strong> is also a songwriter who contributed songs to Steffanie’s debut album which was produced by <strong>Alex “Ace 1” Espinoza</strong> and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/eddie-perez">Eddie Perez</a></strong>. She was able to complete the project with many working together, including her family, to achieve her goal.</p>
<p>“I really thank God for putting this whole team together in my life when it comes to the producers, or my parents, and Jeffrey,” she added. “It’s just really awesome to have them as support.”</p>
<p>Steffanie dropped her debut single “La Mascara” (The Mask) late last year, along with a music video for the catchy cumbia written by herself.</p>
<p>“I wanted people to kind of understand, see the storyline, and kind of see why I wrote it,” she said. “People are trying to understand what is the song. Everybody can kind of put meaning to the song however they want. ‘La Mascara’ for me is that every time I get dolled up I feel great, what woman doesn’t, right? For me, it was just not the physical mask of the makeup but also to keep in mind and tell yourself, ‘You know something’s going on, <em>ponte la mascara,</em> let it go!’ Whenever you need to take that mask off to cry it out, hey we all have to do it at times. That’s how I wrote that song.”</p>

<p>The latest single from the album is “Besame Abrazame,” a romantic cumbia written by her boyfriend Jeffrey. </p>
<p>“I’m really thankful he’s helping me write some of these love songs because I was such a scorned woman that a lot of these songs were coming from a dark place, but after falling in love with him I was actually inspired to write love songs,” said Steffanie.</p>
<p>The 11-track album, <em>La Vida</em>, is available to stream or download on all digital music platforms.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2023/05/losamigosasg-vuelveamicover-1.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/los-amigos-asg">Los Amigos ASG</a></strong> put their spin on “Vuelve a Mi,” a song recorded by Tejano music icon <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/selena">Selena</a></strong> in 1992. This version creates totally new music arrangements for the song giving a different perspective from the original.</p>
<span id="more-63173"></span>
<p>The ranchera blends all musical elements into one song. Using the accordion, saxophone, and keyboards to shine separately along with heartfelt vocals, “Vuelve A Mi” becomes a fun listening experience. </p>
<p>The Cuero, Texas-based band is in the studio recording a full album scheduled for release later this year.</p>
<p>The high-energy cumbia band is “A Second Generation” of the original Los Amigos, originally led by <strong>Albert Garcia, Sr</strong>. Now, his sons <strong>Albert Garcia, Jr</strong> and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/phillip-garcia">Phillip Garcia</a></strong> are leading the next generation of the band. The group’s ability to play any style of music, like Tejano rancheras, Cumbias, Conjunto, Hip-Pop, Reggaeton, and Oldies, with their powerhouse sound, Los Amigos ASG have gained the respect and support of the people in the south Texas area.</p>
<p>“Vuelve A Mi” from Los Amigos ASG is available to stream or download on all digital music platforms.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2023/05/ernestgsatins.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of Ro’ Records</figcaption></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ernest-gonzales">Ernest G & The Satin Drops</a></strong> released their debut album, “Mis Recuerdos,” on digital platforms and music stores today (May 19).</p>
<span id="more-63031"></span>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ernest-gonzales">Ernest Gonzales</a></strong>, guitarist and co-owner of <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/grupo-alamo">Grupo Alamo</a></strong>, has long dreamed of releasing a solo album. The Satin Drops, made up of family members and friends, were formed by Ernest G in the early 1960’s.</p>
<p>The band’s success was demonstrated with frequent performances throughout the state of Texas. Notwithstanding, an unavoidable pivot played a huge role as to why a Satin Drops record never came to fruition until now.</p>
<p>“Any chance of recording an album was squandered when my brother and I got drafted for the Vietnam war,” said Gonzales. “This release is a long time coming. The Satin Drops are reborn, and I couldn’t be happier about it.”</p>
<p>After many accolades, which include three Latin Grammy nominations with Grupo Alamo, Ernest G set his sights on chronicling the concept he devised decades ago. “Mis Recuerdos” is an eight track representation of that vision that features the classic Tejano sound of big brass, as well as Conjunto stylings, and romantic boleros.</p>
<p>Produced by <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/joel-guzman">Joel Guzman</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ernie-gonzales">Ernie Gonzales</a></strong>, this <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ro-records">Ro’ Records</a></strong> production exhibits an acclaimed roster of talent that introduce <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/chente-barrera">Chente Barrera</a></strong>, <strong>Steve Roth</strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/valentino-maltos">Valentino Maltos</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/juan-trevino">Juan Treviño</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/eddie-perez">Eddie Perez</a></strong>, <strong>Larry Villanueva</strong>, brothers <strong>Armando</strong> and <strong>Sinuhe Aussenac</strong>, and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/carlos-alvarez">Carlos Alvarez</a></strong>. “Mis Recuerdos” was recorded between <strong>Reel Tracks Studio</strong> in San Antonio, Texas, and the legendary <strong>Blackbird Studio</strong> in Nashville, Tennessee.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/11/chiquis-jinglebellscover.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p>Latin Grammy-winning singer-songwriter <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/chiquis-rivera">Chiquis</a></strong> released her first Christmas song with “Jingle Bells (Vamos All The Way),” a new reimagined bilingual version of the iconic holiday song.</p>
<span id="more-58512"></span>
<p>“It is definitely a happy song that says that you have to enjoy together, you have to find love because after the hard time that we all lived it was difficult to find a loving relationship, and here it is about being close, celebrating the holidays together,” Chiquis <a href="https://radionotas.com/2022/11/21/chiquis-graba-jingle-bells-vamos-all-the-way-al-ritmo-cumbia-pop/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told <em>Radio Notas</em></a>. “I wanted to give something different to this classic song, but with a Latin flavor, a pop cumbia.”</p>
<p>The 37-year-old Mexican American singer, the eldest daughter of the late <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jenni-rivera">Jenni Rivera</a></strong>, gave the holiday classic a cumbia and Spanglish twist, along with a music video presented by the Latin dating app <strong>Chispa and Cocina</strong>.</p>
<p>Chiquis added, “I’ve always wanted to do a Christmas song and I feel like the time is right. Today more than ever I feel better physically, and emotionally, for me, it was a success that night recording that video that was a super long day but a lot of fun.”</p>
<p>Chiquis flirtatiously associates “Jingle Bells” with dating, friendship, and family.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/08/stevied-rebeccavaladez_1200x675-1.jpg?w=950" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Stevie D and Rebecca Valadez | Courtesy photo</figcaption></figure>
<p>“Porque Tu” is the highly-anticipated new single from <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/stevie-d">Stevie D</a></strong> & The All-Star Cast which was released to Tejano radio last week (Nov. 9).</p>
<span id="more-58366"></span>
<p>“Porque Tu” was written by Stevie D and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jay-alaniz">Jay Alaniz</a></strong>. Stevie D also produced the track with <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/freddie-martinez-jr">Freddie Martinez Jr.</a></strong> at the famous Legends Sound Studios in Corpus Christi, Texas, featuring an “all-star cast” of top-tier musicians including session drummer and group member <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/aaron-holler">Aaron Holler</a></strong>, session accordionist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/lalo-mora">Lalo Mora</a></strong>, studio engineer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/mariano-herrera">Mariano Herrera</a></strong> on guitar, bass, keyboards, and percussion, and the unmistakable smooth vocals of Latin Grammy winner <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/rebecca-valadez">Rebecca Valadez</a></strong>.</p>
<p>“We found a hidden gem here,” Stevie D said of Valadez <a href="https://tejanonation.net/2022/08/16/stevie-d-adds-rebecca-valadez-to-all-star-cast-as-production-of-next-album-continues/">in an interview</a> with <em><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ac-cruz">The AC Cruz Podcast</a></strong></em>. “She’s not a backup vocalist for this band, she’s a featured artist.”</p>

<p>The romantic cumbia with an irresistibly catchy melody and sing-song chorus feature lyrics that speak about the pain of a broken relationship and the struggle to rebuild it all for love, a theme that resonates with everyone.</p>
<p>“Rebecca and I sing to each other. It’s not really a duet but she’s got her own part,” added Stevie D. “It’s a little bit about <em>traicione amor</em> (betrayed love). It’s a badass cumbia. I’m not saying that because I wrote it but because the arrangement came in and it all just gelled.”</p>
<p>“Porque Tu” will officially be released to all digital music platforms on Friday, November 18.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/11/juantrevino-seduceme.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of Penfo Music Group</figcaption></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/juan-trevino">Juan Treviño</a></strong> thought it was time for a new fun song after the success of the Latin Grammy winner’s last releases “Preseas” and “Acústico” earlier this year.</p>
<span id="more-58352"></span>
<p>“Sedúceme” is a cumbia with a little more rhythmic beat than what I usually record. This song talks about a person who was completely under a woman’s spell after a night of passion left him wanting more.</p>
<p>On this track, Treviño collaborates with <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/rudy-olivares">Rudy Olivares</a></strong>, son of “El Maestro De La Cumbia” <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/fito-olivares">Fito Olivares</a></strong>, <strong>Rick Rios</strong> on saxophones and vocal stacks, who is now the current sax player for <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/david-lee-garza">David Lee Garza y Los Musicales</a></strong>, <strong>Vladimir Castellanos</strong> on electric guitar, and three-time Grammy nominee <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/sean-ardoin">Sean Ardoin</a></strong> on the accordion, which this is his first collaboration on a Latin track.</p>
<p>“These guys aren’t only my good friends but they are all monster musicians, I’m so happy that I finally got to work with them,” Treviño tells <em>Tejano Nation</em>. “I really enjoyed arranging and producing this track. We all had a great time recording it.”</p>
<p>“Sedúceme” by Juan Treviño is now available on all digital platforms, </p>
<p>“I hope people enjoy it and add it to their favorite playlist,” added Treviño.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/11/markweber-freetacosmanana.jpg?w=900" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of Rancho Alegre Records</figcaption></figure>
<p>SAN ANTONIO, TX – <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/mark-weber">Mark Weber</a>,</strong> the San Antonio-based hellraising iconoclast known to friends, fans, and foes alike as “El Tacuache” has released his fifth studio album, titled <em>Free Tacos Mañana…y Otras Mentiras</em><strong> </strong>on<strong> <a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/rancho-alegre-records">Rancho Alegre Records</a>.</strong></p>
<span id="more-58311"></span>
<p>Along with the title track, in honor of his fellow veterans on Veterans Day, Weber is releasing the single “Paracaidistas,” a bilingual ranchera dedicated to paratroopers. </p>
<p>When he’s not needling long-suffering Dallas Cowboys fans on Facebook, playing softball, roller skating, hauling junk, playing accordion at San Martin de Porres church, or taking over the airwaves on <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/keda">KEDA radio</a></strong> in San Antonio, Weber can be found entertaining crowds far and wide with his unique combination of humor, showmanship, talent, and heart. </p>
<p>In between all of that, sometimes, Weber writes songs. Of the 12 tracks on this album, ten are “El Tacuache” originals, solidifying Weber as one of Conjunto’s most prolific songwriters. Not only that, but his songs also carry on the tradition of folks like <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/wally-gonzalez">Wally Gonzalez</a></strong> and the late, great <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/nick-villarreal">Nick Villarreal</a>,</strong> offering a humorous take on life. </p>
<p>This album is a capirotada of styles from straight-ahead Conjunto to old-time rock and roll to country to cumbia, and more. Also included is a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor, odes to San Antonio icons, social commentary, and even a <strong>Weird Al Yankovic</strong>-style parody. For a bilingual transplant from Ohio who learned to play the accordion from Valerio Longoria and was inducted into the Tejano ROOTS hall of Fame in 2018, this just makes sense. </p>
<p><em>Free Tacos Mañana…y Otras Mentiras</em> is available on CD and on all digital platforms. </p>

<p>“Dame Un Besito” was co-written by group members <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/rudy-rocha">Rudy Rocha</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/luis-ayala">Luis Ayala</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/joe-angel-reynosa">Joe Angel Reynosa</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/j-angel-cantu">J Angel Cantu</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/julian-gonzalez">Julian Gonzalez</a></strong>, and album engineer <a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/mariano-herrera"><strong>Mariano Herrera</strong></a>. </p>
<p>The song was produced by Herrera and La Fiebre and recorded at the famous <strong>Legends Sound Studios</strong> in Corpus Christi, Texas. The track is a lively Tejano cumbia with a hooky sing-along chorus in a similar vein to past La Fiebre cumbia classics such as “Labios De Cereza,” “Tu Volveras,” and “Si O No.” </p>
<p>It has been a banner year for the “Pride of Pasadena” as La Fiebre enjoyed tremendous success with previous singles “Cuidala,” “Mendigo,” and “Juntito A Ti.”</p>
<p>“Dame Un Besito” is another outstanding track from <em>Histórico</em> that will appeal to fans of La Fiebre’s classic Tejano Rock sound and is available to stream or download on all digital music platforms.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/lastbandoleros-texflexfolkloricocover.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of Cherrytree Music</figcaption></figure>
<p>San Antonio trio <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/the-last-bandoleros">The Last Bandoleros</a></strong> release their new album <strong><em>Tex Flex Folklórico</em></strong> today, just in time for their Día de los Muertos commemoration and hometown headline show at the prestigious Tobin Center tonight. Fresh off their recent <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/video/bandoleros-perform-vamos-bailar-gma-91096338" target="_blank">live performance of their first single “Vamos a Bailar” on ABC’s “Good Morning America”</a> and an appearance at the San Antonio SpiritLandia River Parade yesterday, The Last Bandoleros are proud to be placing the focus on their culture with the release of <em>Tex Flex Folkórico.</em></p>
<span id="more-58018"></span>
<p>“<em>Tex Flex Folklórico</em> a companion to our album <em>Tex Flex</em> which came out in June,” explains the group’s vocalist/guitarist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jerry-fuentes">Jerry Fuentes</a></strong>. “It’s a deeper dive into our Mexican-American roots, a nod to the Southern Texas melting pot that informs our musicianship and a glimpse into the anchors our ‘Tex Flex’ sound.”</p>
<p>“It’s like a prequel to <em>Tex Flex</em>!” chimes in <a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/emilio-navaira-iv"><strong>Emilio</strong> <strong>Navaira IV</strong></a>, vocalist/drummer in The Last Bandoleros and, along with his brother, vocalist/bassist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/diego-navaira">Diego Navaira</a></strong>, the sons of legendary Tejano singer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/emilio-navaira">Emilio Navaira</a></strong>. </p>
<p>“We’re singing in Spanish and English,” Diego elaborates. “It’s what we grew up doing with my dad.” </p>
<p>The Last Bandoleros have been earning effusive praise for their accomplished musicianship and impressive harmonies opening for respected artists such as <strong>Sting</strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/the-mavericks">The Mavericks</a></strong>, <strong>Los Lobos</strong>, <strong>The Boss Hoss</strong>, and <strong>Dwight Yoakum</strong>. The trio lovingly refers to their unique new sound – a mix of Rock, Pop, and Latin flavor – as “Tex Flex.” The group will be taking its energetic show to the Stagecoach Festival having just been announced on the line-up for next May. They’ll also be headlining at The Barns at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia this February 24, 2023.</p>
<p><em>Tex Flex</em> is a delicious sonic “guiso” infusing elements of Bolero, Cumbia, Tejano, Bachata, and Salsa into modern rock and pop production, and its new, sibling album <em>Tex Flex Folklórico</em> further explores those proclivities. </p>
<p>From Spanish renditions of band-penned originals such as the effervescent “Vamos a Bailar,” the sultry Maldita,” and romantic bachata “Siempre Me Enamoré” to modern takes on classics such as “La Malagueña” and Los Panchos’ “Sin Ti,” The Last Bandoleros’ <em>Tex Flex Folklórico</em> album is an inviting soundtrack to the many moods of a magical stroll down San Antonio’s Riverwalk. Moreover, who else but The Last Bandoleros could interpret a Bolero version of The Beatles’ “And I Love Her,” deliver a lovingly delicate take on Emilio Navaira’s “Naciste Para Mi” and bring Los Lobos’ cinematic “Canción de Mariachi” into the 21st Century? </p>
<p>The <strong><em>Tex Flex Folklórico</em></strong> album is out today. Download or stream it on your favorite <a href="https://album.link/i/1649916227" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">digital platform</a>.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/cleiri_1000x1000.jpg?w=1000" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Cleiri | Courtesy photo</figcaption></figure>
<p>Award-winning singer-songwriter <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/cleiri">Cleiri</a></strong> is the newest addition to the <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/chr-records">CHR Records</a></strong> talent roster as the University of Texas at Brownsville graduate, who is a former morning producer for a news station in Harlingen, Texas, continues cultivating her musical craft with the release of a new single and music video. </p>
<span id="more-57812"></span>
<p>As production is beginning on what will be her first full album set for release in early 2023, CHR Records would like to introduce to you her most recent independent single titled “La Distancia.” This international Spanish <em>balada</em> was composed by Cleiri herself, as are most of her recordings. </p>
<p>“I find inspiration for my music in the human experience regarding love, life, and the natural world,” said Cleiri. “My music is an original blend of Spanish-ballad-style and soft-rock with a dash of ranchera-style which pays tribute to my roots in singing.”</p>
<p>“La Distancia” also features a romantic video filmed on the South Padre Island seashore. In the video you will see how this talented artist interprets her music, full of poise and heartfelt emotion.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/aliciac-vencover.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of Shell Shock Records 3</figcaption></figure>
<p><strong>Alicia Cintron</strong>, known professionally as <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/alicia-c">Alicia C</a></strong>, has quickly become a name to know in the Tejano industry. The singer already placed her name on the Tejano music charts with her previous mariachi single, “Despues De Todo.” Now, the San Antonio vocalist unites with the legendary <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/shelly-lares">Shelly Lares</a></strong>, who produced her new single “Ven,” out today on all digital platforms.</p>
<span id="more-57725"></span>
<p>“I’ve been working closely with Shelly to really learn and explore different types of music that make me who I am,” Alicia C tells <em>Tejano Nation</em>. “I wanted to challenge myself. I’ve been told for so long that my voice was too traditional, that Mariachi music would be the only thing I’d be good at.” </p>
<p>Alicia grew up listening to bands like <strong>Los Angeles Azules</strong>, <strong>La Sonora Dinamita</strong>, <strong>Celia Cruz</strong>, and <strong>Olga Tanon</strong>. Although these bands had a huge influence on her professional career, she was also inspired by her father, who was a member of <strong>Los Sistematticas</strong> and <strong>Las Estrellas de Piedras Negras</strong>, which captured that Cumbia, tropical sound, and made her newest single feel like a little piece of home for her. </p>
<p>Lares commented about producing and working with Alicia C. “I’m super excited to be working with Alicia C. I love her unique sound and tone,” she said. “As a producer, what I’m doing with the artist is not only developing a certain sound for her but really challenging her vocally, making her step out of her comfort zone, by singing in ways that she’s not used to singing and will only make her better. It’s all about growth and expressing who you want to be as an artist.” </p>
<p>The Tejano icon <a href="https://tejanonation.net/2021/04/19/tejano-icon-shelly-lares-to-retire-after-latest-album-release-lmd82-legacy-tour/">plans to retire from touring</a> at the end of the year but <a href="https://tejanonation.net/2022/10/10/shelly-lares-discusses-top-female-artist-award-at-mtas-future-plans-for-the-tejano-icon/">will continue to work</a> in the Tejano industry producing, songwriting, and mentoring the next generation of Tejano artists.</p>
<p>“I love mentoring her and answering questions about the business, it’s what I enjoy doing,” said Lares. </p>

<p>An EP from Alicia C is expected within the next few months including six completely different sounding songs with genres featuring mariachi, international, and bolero, each having its own, unique sound, which will become the style of Alicia C. </p>
<p>“We can’t wait for the fans to hear the EP,” added Alicia C. “We think everyone is going to love it!”</p>
<p>Alicia C and Shelly Lares will perform at Traders Village in San Antonio, Texas, on November 13, 2022, for Shelly’s Birthday Bash. You can also catch them on TikTok, doing what they do best, showcasing their talents, and having fun with other artists as well. </p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/suenatron.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Suenatron | Courtesy of Azteca Records</figcaption></figure>
<p>Los Angeles, Ca. — California-based band <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/suenatron">Suenatron</a></strong> continues to win over listeners around the world with their infectious “Popteño” style, and they return with the release of their highly anticipated sophomore album <em>Santa Borrachera</em>.</p>
<span id="more-57466"></span>
<p>Released under <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/azteca-records">Azteca Records</a></strong> and produced by <strong>Ulises “El Licenciado” Lozano</strong>, the album sees the innovative group beginning an exciting new chapter in their career. With this project, which is the first the band is releasing via Azteca Records, Suenatron once again accentuates their definitive style, which combines traditional elements of regional Mexican music with modern genres like funk, Tejano, and electronic, honoring their roots and upbringing while speaking to rising generations of listeners. At the same time, however, the project represents a rebirth for the band and not only demonstrates personal and artistic maturity but also musical evolution at its finest.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/10/suenatron_santaborracheracover.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of Azteca Records</figcaption></figure>
<p>Suenatron carries the poignant theme of rebirth and new beginnings into the album’s cover art, an oil painting inspired by the iconic works born from the Renaissance. Starring as the main figure on the cover is <strong>La Diosa</strong>, a female interpretation of the god <strong>Bacchus</strong> from Roman mythology, as well as the god <strong>Dionysus</strong> from Greek mythology, who were both gods of wine and festivities. While, much like the album, the cover art pays tribute to artistic traditions, it also incorporates a modern touch.</p>
<p>“Santa Borrachera” is the irresistible heartbreak anthem and the album title track, the official music video is already available along with a lyric video for the song, which presents the same Renaissance-inspired style that was infused into the cover art and was animated by <strong>Alfonso Acosta</strong> (“Pantera”), who was the creative mastermind behind a number of Suenatron’s previous music videos. Written by Suenatron with their friend <strong>Ángela Davalo</strong>s and producer <strong>Ulises “El Licenciado” Lozano</strong>, both Grammy winners in their own right, the song speaks to the urge to soothe our wounds with spirits after experiencing deceit and heartbreak and touches on the deceptive notion that alcohol can help us forget those unwanted thoughts, feelings, and memories that can torment us while we’re trying to get over someone who has hurt us deeply.</p>

<p>Suenatron will promote their new album with a string of tour dates through northern California and Mexico with plans to be in Texas very soon.</p>
<h4>About Suenatron</h4>
<p>Coming from the legendary musical family, <strong>Hernán “Mexia”</strong> and <strong>Giovanni Hernández</strong> followed the footsteps of their father <strong>Hernán Hernández</strong>, a member of <strong>Los Tigres Del Norte</strong>, and, together with their close friends <strong>Matt Gonzales</strong> and <strong>Eduardo Montelongo</strong>, created SUENATRON. Immediately after their formation, the group tried to find a new sound that could portray Latin music and its connection with other cultures. So, inspired by groups from the San Francisco Bay Area such as <strong>Santana</strong>, <strong>Tower of Power</strong>, <strong>War,</strong> Los Tigres del Norte, and <strong>Los Humildes</strong>, they began to mix musical sounds like rap and electronic music with music that the Hernández brothers listened to while growing up. They dubbed this sound “Popteño” (a combination of Pop and Norteño). In the six years that they’ve spent together, Suenatron has already created a name in the industry. Their first single “Sencillamente” landed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and their second single, “Caramelo”, dominated radio stations in the United States. In addition, they’ve toured throughout the United States and Mexico, and they have shared stages with important artists from different genres.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/09/tlb-foklorico.jpg?w=1000" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of Cherrytree Records</figcaption></figure>
<p>San Antonio trio <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/the-last-bandoleros">The Last Bandoleros</a></strong> have announced the release of their new album <em>Tex Flex Folklórico</em> on October 28, just in time for their Día de Los Muertos commemoration and hometown headline show at the prestigious Tobin Center on the same day. The first focus track from the album, “Vamos a Bailar” is out today and the band will perform it live on ABC’s <em>Good Morning America</em> on Thursday, October 6. </p>
<span id="more-57293"></span>
<p>“It’s a companion album to our album <em>Tex Flex</em> which came out in June,” explains the group’s vocalist/guitarist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jerry-fuentes">Jerry Fuentes</a></strong>. “It’s a deeper dive into our Mexican-American roots, a nod to the Southern Texas melting pot that informs our musicianship, and a glimpse into the anchors of our ‘Tex Flex’ sound.”</p>
<p>“It’s like a prequel to <em>Tex Flex</em>!” chimes in <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/emilio-navaira-iv">Emilio Navaira IV</a></strong>, vocalist and drummer in The Last Bandoleros and, along with his brother, vocalist and bassist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/diego-navaira">Diego Navaira</a></strong>, are the sons of legendary Tejano singer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/emilio-navaira">Emilio Navaira</a></strong>. </p>
<p>“We’re singing in Spanish and English,” Diego elaborates. “It’s what we grew up doing with my dad.” </p>
<p>The Last Bandoleros have been earning effusive praise for their accomplished musicianship and impressive harmonies opening for respected artists such as <strong>Sting</strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/the-mavericks">The Mavericks</a></strong>, <strong>Los Lobos</strong>, <strong>The Boss Hoss,</strong> and <strong>Dwight Yoakum</strong>. </p>
<p>The trio lovingly refers to their unique new sound – a mix of Rock, Pop, and Latin flavor – as “Tex Flex.” The group will be taking its energetic show to the Stagecoach Festival having just been announced on the line-up for next May. </p>
<p><em>Tex Flex</em> is a delicious sonic “guiso” infusing elements of Bolero, Cumbia, Tejano, Bachata, and Salsa into modern rock and pop production, and its new sibling album <em>Tex Flex Folklórico</em> further explores those proclivities. </p>
<p>From Spanish renditions of band-penned originals such as the effervescent “Vamos a Bailar,” the sultry “Maldita,” and romantic bachata “Siempre Me Enamoré,” to modern takes on classics such as “La Malagueña” and <strong>Los Panchos</strong>’ “Sin Ti,” The Last Bandoleros’ <strong><em>Tex Flex Folklórico</em></strong> album is an inviting soundtrack to the many moods of a magical stroll down San Antonio’s Riverwalk. Moreover, who else but The Last Bandoleros could interpret a Bolero version of <strong>The Beatles</strong> “And I Love Her,” deliver a lovingly delicate take on Emilio Navaira’s “Naciste Para Mi” and bring Los Lobos’ cinematic “Canción de Mariachi” into the 21st century? </p>
<p>The initial taste of <strong><em>Tex Flex Folklórico</em></strong> is out today in the form of the first single “<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://song.link/i/1645449766" target="_blank">Vamos a Bailar</a>,” accompanied by an <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrJOg3SfciI" target="_blank">energetic video</a> filmed during The Last Bandoleros’ recent European tour and a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://youtu.be/m9czJ0c_-c0" target="_blank">bilingual video</a>. The <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/kegg101ne8oc08v/FOLKL%C3%93RICO%20-%20Blue%20-%20Left%20HI%20RES.png?dl=0" target="_blank">Tex Flex Folklórico</a> album is scheduled to be released on October 28, 2022. </p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/09/que-lastima-cover.jpeg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p>Tejano newcomer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/kary-karina">Kary Karina</a></strong> teams with Tejano icon <a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/gary-hobbs"><strong>Gary Hobbs</strong></a> to collaborate on “Que Lastima,” a song that has a personal connection for both singers from Eagle Pass, Texas.</p>
<span id="more-56652"></span>
<p>The track was produced by award-winning hitmaker <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/gabriel-zavala">Gabriel Zavala</a></strong> and was written by late veteran Tejano musician <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/charlie-castillon">Carlos “Charlie” Castillon</a></strong>, the cousin of Kary Karina and keyboardist in Gary Hobbs’ band.</p>
<p>“He’s always there with us, all throughout this project. I felt nothing but beautiful vibes throughout it,” Kary Karina told Hobbs during the season 3 premiere of his <em>Hangin’ With Gary Podcast</em>. “Working in the studio with Gabriel Zavala, I also shared all of this history that we have with this song. I would just keep telling him, it just means so much to me and when we finally got the finished product I was like ‘This, this, this, yes!'”</p>
<p>Hobbs added, “I know exactly how you feel. When Charlie passed away, somebody dear to me said, ‘You know he loved you like a dad.’ A lot of times it did feel like that. He had so much talent.” </p>
<p>“Que Lastima” was previous recorded by Hobbs and he now adds his vocals to the collaboration that will be part of Kary Karina’s highly-anticipated debut album.</p>
<p>“That is my focus and someting that I’ve been wanting to finish for many years and I feel like it’s just an unfinished project that I don’t want to let go of,” said Kary Karina. “Every song choice that I have done so far is something that is very near and dear to me. I have a strong connection to everyone of them, that’s how I’m going about in making my selections.”</p>
<p>“Que Lastima” from Kary Karina featuring Gary Hobbs is available to stream or download on all digital music platforms.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/08/jenny-b.jpg?w=936" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p>SAN ANTONIO, TX — San Antonio singer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jenny-b">Jenny B</a></strong>, whose real name is Jennifer Lynne Bowen, is spunky, energetic, and passionate about music and third generation Tejano singer, who is beginning her own journey with the release of her debut Tejano single “Beso De Amor.”</p>
<span id="more-56371"></span>
<p>Jenny B became interested in music at a young age as it has always been a big part of her family. Her father, uncles, and grandfather formed the band, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/los-agues">Los Agues</a></strong> which had success in the 1990s. Los Agues opened up for the Tejano Queen, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/selena">Selena</a></strong> many times, and actually appeared in the <em>Selena</em> movie starring <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jennifer-lopez">Jennifer Lopez</a></strong>. </p>
<p>Jenny experienced band practice at her house often, exposed to the music, the instruments, and singing on the microphone. Her personality was a perfect fit with her dream to one day sing and perform like the Queen of Tejano.</p>
<p>Curiosity grew about Los Agues. Were they the same band who made an appearance in the <em>Selena </em>movie and is Jenny B related to Tejano Music Awards winner <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ray-ray-de-los-agues">Ray Ray Garcia</a></strong>? The answer to both questions is yes. Ray Ray is Jenny’s uncle. This is where Jenny’s interest in music began and where her memories are tucked away.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-audio"><audio controls src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/08/jenny-b-tejano-artist.mp3"></audio><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><strong>Jenny B chat with Tejano Nation’s DJ Peaches</strong></figcaption></figure>
<p>“Music has always been a big part of my family,” Jenny B tells <em>Tejano Nation</em>‘s DJ Peaches in an interview. “Something about it and I think with my personality too, always wanting to be in the spotlight. I’m very much an attention grabber and seeing my uncles and my dad performing and seeing Selena singing. It sparked something in me.”</p>
<p>The first time in a studio for Jenny B started in 2008. An album was produced with her family titled <em>Quince Cero Nueve</em>, which Ray Ray was a part of, but unfortunately, it was never released due to Jenny’s grandmother passing away, then six months later her grandfather passed away. That was tragic for the family, who decided to shelve the album.</p>
<p>Jenny B’s desire to continue music resurfaced in 2016. After getting married and the birth of her first child, she returned to performing in clubs and bars to get her name established once again. She performed at Fiesta Oyster Bake in San Antonio, which opened doors for Jenny. In 2019, Jenny captured the attention of <strong>Ryan “Clef God” Welch</strong>, who is a producer, writer, and director. He has worked with <strong>Snow tha Product</strong>, an American bilingual rapper, and San Antonio musician <strong>Aj Hernz</strong>.</p>
<p>The pandemic slowed things down for some time. In 2020, Jenny B released her debut EP, <em>Stop Me</em>, featuring electronic dance music and she released the EP’s title track and another single “Can’t Have It.” Nearing the end of 2021, Jenny gave birth to her second child and without skipping a beat, she released a catchy pop single, “Hate On Me.”</p>
<p>Jenny B teamed with Grammy winner <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/hugo-guerrero">Hugo Guerrero</a></strong> to produce her debut Tejano single “Beso de Amor.” She was grateful for his patience during production as like most young Tejanas, her Spanish needs work.</p>
<p>“An amazing producer, definitely the top producer I’ve ever worked with,” said Jenny B. “He is so understanding because he was very patient and I told him exactly what I wanted and he brought out that masterpiece. Huge shout to Hugo he is just the best and I can’t wait for you guys to hear what new music we’re going to have coming out. You guys are going to love it!”</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/08/patsytorres.jpg?w=720" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/patsy-torres">Patsy Torres</a></strong> is one of the most influential Tejano artists of our time and the singer, songwriter, and edutainer has released a new single that pays tribute to another influential singer, <strong>Olivia Newton-John</strong>, who passed away from on August 8, 2022, at the age of 73. The tribute is “Dedicada a Ti,” a Tejano style version of “Hopelessly Devoted To You,” an iconic song made famous by Newton-John from the classic movie “Grease.”</p>
<span id="more-56386"></span>
<p>Torres shared why she wanted to tribute the Grammy-winning singer and actress in an interview with <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/fierro-hd">Fierro HD</a></strong>‘s <em>Bo Corona Show</em> on August 18. “I always admired her. I loved her in the little movie she did,” said Torres. “I saw her as pure and innocent, a lot of the singers, they would come on the scene and they’d start getting dark, you know trying to prove like, ‘Oh I’m the sexiest or I’m this!’ You know, or do outrageous things. She never did that. I respected her for that. I rememer just seeing her concerts on TV when I was younger and she’s so sweet. I guess I really liked the innocence and the sweetness.”</p>

<p>Torres originally recorded “Dedicada a Ti” for her 2013 album <em>Mi Inspiracion</em>, but decided to release it as a single with passion of Olivia Newton-John earlier this month. The song and album are avialable to stream or download on all digital music platforms.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2021/07/thehomeboyz_1200x675.jpg?w=950" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Homeboyz | Courtesy of La Llave Music Group & TexSound Publishing</figcaption></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/the-homeboyz">The Homeboyz</a></strong> appeared on the Conjunto scene in 2021 and the group made up of former members of <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/the-hometown-boys">The Hometown Boys</a></strong> continues that traditional Conjunto sound with the release of their latest single, “Mi Ultimo Dia.”</p>
<span id="more-56253"></span>
<p>The track is the lead single from the award-winning group’s upcoming sophomore album and was written by lead vocalist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/elias-arredondo">Elias Arredondo</a></strong>.</p>
<p>“One day I was just sitting there contemplating about life,” said Arredondo in an interview with <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/fierro-hd">Fierro HD</a></strong>‘s <em>Bo & Jon Show</em> on the Audacy app. “If God decided to go ahead and take me from this world one day, what would I like for someone to do and I would like them to basically celebrate everybody’s life rather than just sit there in mourning because you could mourn in your own ways.”</p>
<p>Arredondo wrote the song in under 10 minutes and sent it to <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/roman-reyes">Roman Reyes</a></strong>, The Homeboyz drummer and composer, who came up with the music for the song in a short period time as well.</p>
<p>“It touches everybody. Everybody that loses a loved one,” Reyes said about the song in the interview. “When you see the video it’s just like, ‘You know what? This something that we do.’ In our culture in our Raza that is something that we do. Instead or mourning we celebrate their lives.”</p>

<p>The Homeboyz released their self-titled debut album in 2021 with La Llave Music Group, which featured production from multi Grammy-winning producer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/gilbert-velasquez">Gilbert Velasquez</a></strong> and led to multiple awards for the Conjunto group.

<p>The Homeboyz feature former members of The Hometown Boys with each member spending time with the legendary band that was very influential in their love for Conjunto music.</p>
<p>“It was great to play along with <strong>Ramon Martinez</strong> (Sr.), a great legacy in Conjunto and that’s basically what our music is,” said Reyes. “We want to bring back the sound of the ’90s from the original Hometown Boys and I think we’re doing a great success with it. They were big idols for me growing up in the Conjunto industry.”</p>
<p>“Mi Ultimo Dia” from The Homeboyz is available on all digital music platforms and the group’s sophomore album entitled <em>The Oddz</em> is scheduled for release later this year.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/08/la45-dlg-cm.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Courtesy of NextGen Latinx Records</figcaption></figure>
<p>One of the hottest orquestas in Tejano music, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/la-45">La 45</a></strong>, has teamed with the head of the Poteet Posse, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/david-lee-garza">David Lee Garza</a></strong>, and their lead vocalist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/cezar-martinez">Cezar Martinez</a></strong> for the hot new collaboration “La Embarcación.”</p>
<span id="more-56020"></span>
<p>In their first post-pandemic release, the #NextGenChicanos once again fuses a classic Tejano sound with the next generation to bring fans a 21st-century Chicano sound. Their signature horn-driven arrangements are taken to a new level with the iconic accordion sound of DLG. Combine that with the exceptional vocal blend of Martinez and La 45 lead vocalist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/mike-torres-iii">Mike Torres III</a></strong> and you have “La Embarcacion.”</p>
<p>“The song that we thought of that would be perfect to fuse that Poteet Posse sound with the orquesta sound that we do. We were real happy with the way it came out,” said Torres in an interview with <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/fierro-hd">Fierro HD</a></strong>‘s <em>Bo and Jon Show </em>on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.audacy.com/fierrohd" target="_blank">Audacy app</a>. “For me, it was a dream come true. I’ve been a David Lee fan for all my life, so to have him in the studio working on a track with us was definitely a bucket list moment for us.”</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/08/liz-garcia-te-espere.jpg?w=990" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p>San Antonio singer-songwriter <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/liz-garcia">Liz Garcia</a></strong> has dropped her second single from her upcoming third album, <em>Pisando Fuerte. </em>The prolific artist has been busy in the studio since winning Best New Female Artist at last year’s <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/tejano-music-awards">Tejano Music Awards</a></strong>. </p>
<span id="more-56080"></span>
<p>“Te Esperé” is an upbeat accordion-driven interpretation of the original <strong>Jesse & Joy</strong> mellow acoustic ballad, which happens to be one of Garcia’s favorite tunes. In addition to the accordion, the track features innovative rhythmic breaks to complement its strong ranchera beat. </p>
<p>Last fall, Garcia released the lead single from <em>Pisando Fuerte</em>, “Me Dejaste,” which has been on rotation on Tejano stations from coast to coast ever since. <em>Pisando Fuerte</em> is due out this fall, and fans can expect to hear more original tunes from Garcia, as well as a few covers with new twists like “Te Espere.”</p>
<p><em>Pisando Fuerte</em> is the third album for Garcia, whose first two releases, <em>Habia Una Vez…</em> and <em>Una Estrella</em>, earned her multiple awards and made her a fan favorite. In June, she organized a teddy bear drive for kids affected by the tragedy in Uvalde and also performed at several benefits for the victims. </p>
<p>“Te Esperé” is now available on all streaming platforms. Be sure to request it on your favorite stations and keep up with Liz Garcia on all her social media accounts.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/selena-comotequieroyoati.jpg?w=950" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p>The highly-anticipated new single from late Latin music icon <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/selena">Selena Quintanilla-Perez </a></strong>is here! “Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti” is the lead single from the upcoming posthumous <em>Moonchild Mixes</em> album, <a href="https://tejanonation.net/2022/03/14/new-album-from-selena-coming-in-april-27-years-after-her-death/">announced earlier this year</a>.</p>
<span id="more-55902"></span>
<p>Selena’s father, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/abraham-quintanilla">Abraham Quintanilla</a></strong>, announced news of the singer’s new album <a href="https://tejanonation.net/2022/03/14/new-album-from-selena-coming-in-april-27-years-after-her-death/">during a virtual interview</a> with <em>On The Record with Jose Rosario</em> on March 10. The album will be released through Warner Music Latina featuring 13 songs taken from the <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/q-productions">Q Productions</a></strong> vault produced by <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ab-quintanilla">A.B. Quintanilla III</a></strong>, Selena’s brother.</p>
<p>Abraham Quintanilla stated, “What’s unique about it is that not only is the music completely new arrangements but my son worked on Selena’s voice with the computers and if you listen to it, she sounds on this recording like she did right before she passed away.”</p>
<p>After almost three decades since Selena was murdered by her fan club president in 1995, fans continue to desire anything from Selena, including new music.</p>
<p>Abraham added, “What amazes me and my family is 26 years later the public still remembers Selena, you know they haven’t let go of her and they’re waiting for a project like this to come out and I know it will be well received by the public.”</p>
<p>“Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti” is available on all digital music platforms. The <em>Moonchild Mixes</em> album is scheduled for release on August 26, 2022.</p>

<p>Houston-based Tejano artist, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/chrisfm">ChrisFM</a></strong>, has re-entered the Tejano scene with his debut single, “Ruégale A Dios.”</p>
<p><strong>ChrisFM</strong>, is no stranger to Tejano music. While he has performed Tejano music with his band, <a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ojala"><strong>Grupo OJALA</strong></a>, for a few years now, his roots in Tejano began long before ever singing on a microphone.</p>
<span id="more-55605"></span>
<p>“My dad was a DJ when I was a kid at KWMC 1490 in Del Rio, Texas, where I was born,” ChrisFM, whose real name is Chris Gomez, recalls. “I remember going in there as a kid to record commercials for him — <em>you’re listening to my dad, el Super Chicano DJ, Layo Hernandez on the Mighty 1490!</em> And that’s when I knew I wanted to be a DJ, but not just any DJ. My dad dreamt of being on KXTN or KQQK. So I set my eyes on both.” </p>
<p>ChrisFM’s childhood dreams of becoming a radio DJ and following in his father’s footsteps became a reality at the age of 15 in the Mexican border town of Ciudad Acuna, Coahuila. His radio debut came late one summer night when his cousin invited him to get on the mic. </p>
<p>“My cousin Juanito said <em>aren’t you a DJ back in your high school, because if you are, do you want to say something on the radio?</em> He messed up because I had too much to say,” exclaims ChrisFM.</p>
<p>ChrisFM was offered his first radio job at Ultimate Tejano Jams 100.7 FM. “It was the first stepping stone to achieving my aspirations. Sure it may have not paid the bills, but I was a kid and I only cared about paying my dues.” ChrisFM was later recruited to go work at the same station his father once worked for, The Mighty 1490, KWMC. </p>
<p>“It truly was never about the money for me. I came from a poor household. I genuinely had a true love for radio, so when one of my radio idols, <strong>DJ Homie Marco</strong> offered me a job to work for him at 100.7 House Party in Houston, I had to act like I wasn’t geeking out,” he said. “I wasn’t even hired for Tejano radio. I was hired to go work weekends at Estereo Latino 102.9, but Homie Marco<strong> </strong>trusted me with the keys to his new Ferrari, the 100.7 House Party.” </p>
<p>ChrisFM interviewed many artists, formed friendships with even more artists; and saw firsthand the struggle that emerging new artists go through. “I’ve always been on the other side of the mic, so this is still fairly new to me. I’m now having to reach back into my memories of how I remember seeing everyone else grinding their new material,” he said.</p>
<p>ChrisFM was fatefully recruited by Houston’s 106.5 KQQK’s program director, <strong>Manny Herrera</strong>, to go work at the legendary Tejano station. “Few people know that the very last song that played on KQQK, Manny told me to push play on it — the very last song that ever played on KQQK, since he knew how much work I had put into reaching KQQK. It tore me up, but it was a nice ending.” </p>
<p>ChrisFM then packed his bags and reunited with his former radio DJ friend, <strong>Super Mario Facundo</strong>, in McAllen, Texas at<strong> </strong>La Ley 102.9 FM. </p>
<p>ChrisFM has spent the last six years on a journey including losing nearly 400 lbs, while also writing, recording, and producing for himself and other Tejano artists, including <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/sarah-monique">Sarah Monique</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/dezigual">Dezigual</a></strong>, and others. </p>
<p>His debut single, “Ruégale A Dios,” is the first single from his debut album, <strong><em>Cinco</em></strong>, slated for release in late 2022. “Ruégale A Dios,” written by ChrisFM, features a collaboration of artists from around the world. </p>
<p>When asked about his name, and if it has ties to his radio beginnings, he said, ”At first it did. But now, ChrisFM is like a radio station. I’m writing and recording a bunch of genres, Tejano being at the forefront.” </p>
<p>ChrisFM now has aspirations of eventually walking away with a coveted <strong>Tejano Music Award</strong>. “Not even that is a far-fetched dream anymore. I remember back when people said I’d never be a radio DJ, but I still did it. Now I’m ChrisFM, so yes, a TMA award would be the proverbial icing on the cake for me!” </p>
<p>“Ruégale A Dios” is available to stream or download on all digital music platforms.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/06/grupofuerte-muchocorazon.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Courtesy of Fuerte Records</figcaption></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/carlos-maldonaldo">Carlos Maldonado</a></strong> y <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/grupo-fuerte">Grupo Fuerte</a></strong> return with a new release on Friday, June 24, 2022. The nine-time Tejano Music Awards nominated group hails from Houston, Texas, and lead vocalist Carlos Maldonado is no stranger to the industry. He began his career at the age of six playing drums and performing with his father’s band, <strong>Carlos Maldonado y Sus Aguilas</strong>. He also performed with <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/david-lee-garza">David Lee Garza y Los Musicales</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/elsa-garcia">Elsa Garcia</a></strong>.</p>
<span id="more-55412"></span>
<p>In 1995 as his father went into retirement, Carlos created his band, Grupo Fuerte. The band has released five albums and a sixth album which reunited Carlos with his father recording some of <strong>Los Aguilas</strong> old classics. </p>
<p>The upcoming single release is entitled “Mucho Corazon” and is getting rave reviews. </p>
<p>“It was supposed to be released on an 11-track CD in 2020 for our 25th anniversary. Due to the pandemic, we had to stop production,” Maldonado tells Tejano Nation. “I was really looking forward to doing a 25th anniversary CD but with the decline in the CD market, we decided to release the project as singles.”</p>
<p>Looking back at the group’s success, Maldonado added, “While listening to the recordings, we realized this was some of our best work. This project is some of our old recordings that had a Conjunto sound and we changed them to a more Tejano feel with saxophones, keyboards, guitars, and a chromatic accordion. It gave all our recordings new life and a new sound.” </p>
<p>The single was recorded at Maldonado’s <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/fuerte-studios">Fuerte Studios</a></strong> in Pasadena, Texas, where he has recorded many legendary artists including <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/juan-p-moreno">Juan P. Moreno</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jaime-deanda">Jaime DeAnda</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ram-herrera">Ram Herrera</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/david-lee-garza">David Lee Garza</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/pete-espinoza">Pete Espinoza</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/xelencia">Xelencia</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/demmi-garcia">Demmi Garcia</a></strong>, and the late, great <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/marky-lee">Marky Lee</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/bob-gallarza">Bob Gallarza</a></strong>’s last recordings were done at Fuerte Studios. </p>
<p>The band consists of: </p>
<ul>
<li>Carlos Maldonado – Lead Vocalist, Bajo Sexto </li>
<li>Andrés Nava – Accordion </li>
<li>Juan “Johnny” Chapa – Saxophones </li>
<li>Mike García – Keyboards </li>
<li>José Luis Ayala – Bass Guitar </li>
<li>Jesse Vásquez – Drums </li>
</ul>
<p>Carlos Maldonado y Grupo Fuerte is scheduled to perform at Kemah Boardwalk’s Tejano Music Nights on Sunday, July 10th.</p>

<p>Sauceda states, “I always try to outdo my previous work. This is a ranchera de piquete. First ranchera in the world with a death metal scream. I love to break the rules, especially my own rules. This song is about revenge. This song was written over 40 years ago when a man’s prowess was at its height. It’s my interpretation of <strong>Manuel ‘El Sargento’ Guerrero</strong>, a conjunto pioneer that few remember which is why I chose this song. It continues where I left off with ‘Cielo Azul’ but I added fuel to the fire with some slipknot licks, death metal scream, screaming driving bass, and ended it with a Motley Crue riff. The death metal scream is something I’ve been wanting to do for over a decade and our Bajo/guitarist <strong>Americo Garcia</strong> nailed it. It’s what is in my head when I’m playing accordion, while I’m at the gym when I’m in the ring sparing doing MMA and now my rage is released into this song.”</p>
<p>“Asi Como Pagan Pago” and the full album, <em>After Party,</em> from Sunny Sauceda Y Todo Eso is available to stream or download on all digital music platforms.</p>

<p>It has been said that all good things eventually come full circle. This is the case for singer, songwriter, and actress <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/adassa">Adassa</a></strong>. This Miami-born Afro-Latin Colombian singer refers to Texas as the place where it all started. From humble beginnings in Houston, Texas, to international venues around the world, Adassa and her award-winning husband, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/gabriel-candini">Gabriel Candiani</a></strong>, now firmly establish their Tejano/International fusion with this brand new <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/chr-records">CHR Records</a></strong> single entitled “Flor De Lis.”</p>
<span id="more-55294"></span>
<p>This catchy cumbia was composed by Candiani and beautifully performed by the amazing talents of Adassa. She along with her husband have an extensive history that runs deep in the Tejano music circuit. Candiani has scored some award-winning productions with <a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/fama"><strong>Grupo Fama</strong></a>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/elida-reyna">Elida Y Avante</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/juan-p-moreno">Juan P.

<p>The previous year of 2021 was an exciting one for this power couple as Adassa was sought out by Walt Disney Productions to co-star in the major motion picture “Encanto”. The Disney animated film premiered in theaters on Thanksgiving weekend 2021 in the US and stayed in the #1 spot for weeks. She voiced the character of “Dolores” and was a part of the chart-topping song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/06/grupoalamo-caminoalprogreso.jpg?w=1000" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p>San Antonio, TX — Two-time Latin Grammy nominee <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/grupo-alamo">Grupo Alamo</a></strong> returns with their new studio album titled <em>Camino al Progreso</em>, which contains nine new studio recordings featuring <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/mark-ledesma">Mark Ledesma</a></strong> on lead vocals. </p>
<span id="more-55238"></span>
<p>The highly-anticipated album includes Latin Grammy winner <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/juan-trevino">Juan Treviño</a></strong> lending his vocal style to “La Potranquita,” a cumbia that will get everyone dancing, and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ernie-gonzales">Ernesto Gonzales</a></strong> sings a classic conjunto song. A few of Nashville’s most sought-after musicians join Grupo Alamo on two English-style cumbias which are must-hear collaborations.</p>
<p>“It was cool because we got to play with some of our friends in Nashville that play with <strong>Reba McEntire</strong>, a couple of them play with <strong>Martina McBride</strong>, and another friend of ours that has probably recorded over 300 or 400 number one hits,” Gonzales tells <em>Tejano Nation</em> about the album. “They got to play on a couple of songs with us and some harmonies and it was cool because it was something new for us, it was something new for them and they just loved being able to get involved in a new style of music and we just had a blast.”</p>
<p><em>Camino al Progreso</em> was recorded and produced in Nashville and San Antonio during the pandemic and mixed at the famed Blackbird Studios in “Music City.”</p>
<p>“The album title came about maybe three years ago when we started working on the album,” said Gonzales. “We were shooting a documentary on the band, looking back on where we started and seeing how we seem to progress every album, every year as we try something different and that was really the first meaning of the album and then we went through the pandemic and then all the stuff that has been happening recently and when the album came out it was a whole other meaning for all of us. It’s a way to move forward no matter what situation we’re in or what happens we always have to progress and move forward.”</p>
<p>The brand new single titled “Confianza” is written by <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/percy-cardona">Percy Cardona</a></strong> and Juan Treviño and is a powerful progressive keyboard-driven Tejano ranchera that showcases Grupo Alamo’s classic style, which has been entertaining fans since 1993.</p>
<p><em>Camino al Progreso</em> from Grupo Alamo is available to stream or download on all digital music platforms. The CD is available to purchase at <a href="https://grupoalamo.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GrupoAlamo.net</a>.</p>

<p>South TX Homies accordionist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/anthony-trevino">Anthony Trevino</a></strong> shared details on the new album with <em>Tejano Nation</em>. “I would have to say it’s still Conjunto, it’s still in your face. It has a really good vibe to it. We put a lot of time and effort into this one. The way scheduling works for us is very hard because none of us live together, we’re within four hours of each other. So, just being able to put out something as good as this album is going to be it just took a lot of time and effort and we really feel that people are going to love this album. It’s an awesome album.”</p>
<p>The album was produced by <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/richard-rosales">Richard Rosales</a></strong> of <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/siggno">Grupo Siggno</a></strong> at <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/mazmorra-studios">Mazmorra Studios</a></strong> in McQueeney, Texas. </p>
<p>“We did a change in production and it was phenomenal. It was great, Richard is a very intelligent guy. He was there to guide us through a few things. He put in his two cents where it was needed, definitely. It was just an overall great experience. We are very excited for this album,” said Trevino.</p>
<p>Lead vocalist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/andrew-rodriguez">Andrew Rodriguez</a></strong> wrote seven songs on the album. Trevino wrote one song and composer <strong>Samuel Rubio</strong> wrote another, with two cover songs to fill the 12-track album.</p>
<p>The latest single released from the album is the title track, “Una Promesa,” which was written by Rodriguez and inspired by his wife that passed away a few years ago. The song debuted at No. 16 on the iTunes Latin Singles chart.</p>
<p><em>Una Promesa</em> from South TX Homies is available to stream or download on all digital music platforms. </p>

<figcaption>Ricardo Castillon Interview with Mingo Mariano<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/tejanonation?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Subscribe to Tejano Nation on YouTube</a></figcaption></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ricardo-castillon">Ricardo Castillon</a></strong> recently released a new single titled “Para Que,” a song from an upcoming project with <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/abraham-quintanilla">Abraham Quintanilla</a></strong> and the singer shared details in an interview with <em>Tejano Nation</em> correspondent <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ming-mariano">Mingo Mariano</a></strong>.</p>
<span id="more-55027"></span>
<p>“A few months back I was approached by Mr. Quintanilla about a song that he wanted to put my vocals on that song, that’s how it started,” said Castillon.</p>
<p>The song is “Para Que” featuring a mariachi version and a Tejano version which was released earlier this year.</p>
<p>Castillon added, “And the next thing leads to a full production so we’re actually in the studio right now finishing up an album. I’m really excited about it, I’m super excited!”</p>
<p>The crooner led <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/la-diferenzia">La Diferenzia</a></strong> in the 1990s before embarking on a solo career. The group scored many hits winning much acclaim and attaining huge success.</p>

Hacienda International Productionstag:haciendahip.com,2005:Post/69764002022-05-20T15:14:00-05:002022-05-20T21:00:02-05:00Juan Treviño releases intimate new acoustic album ‘Preseas’<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/05/juantrevino-preseas.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Courtesy of Penfo Music Group</figcaption></figure>

<p><em>Preseas</em>, the new album by composer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/juan-trevino">Juan Treviño</a></strong>, is part of a collection of songs that some artists have already recorded for him but now are performed by himself. On this occasion, the Latin GRAMMY winner recorded these songs in a more intimate style with the vision he had when these songs were born.</p>
<span id="more-54849"></span>
<p>With a totally acoustic concept, the singer-songwriter feels that listeners will identify a little more with the lyrics. He decided to call this production <em>Preseas</em> because these songs are part of his life, something very important that was born from his soul and they are something very valuable and at the same time priceless.<br><br>“The truth is, I am super proud of this production,” commented Treviño on his new release. “For me, it is something new and fresh, without a doubt it is one of my favorite productions.”</p>
<p>Treviño has written many hit songs for some of the biggest names in Tejano music including <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/elida-reyna">Elida Reyna Y Avante</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jay-perez">Jay Perez</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/david-lee-garza">David Lee Garza Y Los Musicales</a></strong>, and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/siggno">Siggno</a></strong>, to name just a few. Most of which are romantic love songs.</p>
<p>“I’m a romantic at heart so I love ballads and just listen to singer-songwriter’s music,” said Treviño. “I’m always listening to different styles and genres and I guess it shows up on my music and this is the outcome. It’s just a fresh sound for me.”</p>
<p>The new album, <em>Preseas</em>, from Juan Treviño is available to stream or download on all digital music platforms <a href="https://orcd.co/preseas-jt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/04/santiago_stillkicking.jpg?w=950" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Courtesy of Hardcharger/Blue Élan Records</figcaption></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/santiago-jimenez-jr">Santiago “Jimmy” Jimenez Jr.</a></strong> hails from a long lineage of groundbreaking musicians. His legendary father, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/santiago-jimenez">Santiago Jimenez, Sr.</a></strong> is credited as the “Father of Modern Conjunto Music” and his brother, two-time GRAMMY award-winning <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/flaco-jimenez">Flaco Jimenez</a></strong>, has taken the traditional accordion Conjunto Music making it contemporary by adding in saxophone and guitar for artists like <strong>Bob Dylan</strong> and <strong>The Rolling Stones</strong>.</p>
<span id="more-53490"></span>
<p>Santiago, Jr. has recorded for dozens of legendary Texas record labels over the years — storied labels such as Disco Grande, Lira, Corona, D.L.B., and, most recently, Shotgun House. Jimmy’s first recording session dates back to around 1960 with Disco Grande. In fact, the label owner and producer, Mel Moran was the first to market him as “Santiago Jimenez Jr.” </p>
<p>“People said I played like my father, that I had his style,” he recalls. “That’s why they started calling me Santiago Jimenez Jr.”</p>
<p>After 60 years of writing and recording thousands of songs in San Antonio, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://youtu.be/QCKVY_GJqsY" target="_blank">a 2015 National Medal of Arts Award</a> presented to him by <strong>President Barack Obama</strong>, and two Grammy nominations, it is hard to fathom which roads, or “calles,” Santiago Jr. has yet to travel down. For his new album, “Still Kicking,” El Chief (as he is also known) selected a few songs dating back to the early days of his career. One that he recorded at the age of 16 during his first recording session with Moran at the TNT studio, “Que Chulos Ojos,” is by legendary songwriter <strong>Juan Gaytan</strong>.</p>
<p>The debut single, “Al Mirar Tu Cara,” is a song popularized by his father, Don Santiago Jimenez, the original El Flaco. Although Don Santiago never recorded the song, it was in his repertoire during his live performances. </p>
<p>“My dad would play it at his dances, it was a great song I remember him singing, it’s a song about seeing a pretty face that you cannot forget,” he recalls.</p>
<p>It wasn’t until 1978 that Jimmy decided to put the song on wax as his first recording session for <strong>Salomé Gutierrez</strong>. It was released under a tiny demo label named Akron.</p>
<p>The song “Como Una Granada” dates back to a highly sought-after recording by Santiago and his brother Flaco as teenagers, an LP titled <em>El Rey y El Principe De La Musica Norteña</em> (produced by <strong>Jose Morante</strong>). In fact, this new album includes a handful of tracks from the early years of Santiago’s career and even a few that Flaco recorded back in his youth as well. Also included are familiar conjunto classics such as “Brincando Cercas” and “El Chisme,” which were on heavy rotation back in the ‘70s, heard on jukeboxes and radio stations played down old Highway 90.</p>
<p>Now, 42 years later, at the age of 78, he’s decided to pull this great cancion off the dusty shelf and record it again. Captured on this album is the hard-driving conjunto music that was at its peak in the early 1960s. The vision with “Still Kicking” was to record the conjunto sound that was filling dancefloors on El Westside of San Antone years ago. Grammy Award-winning <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/max-baca">Max Baca</a></strong> on bajo sexto and <strong>Noel Hernandez</strong> on tololoche (upright bass), both from the band Los Texmaniacs, helped bring together a sound that is as authentic to San Antonio as enjoying a plate of enchiladas and drinking a Pearl down on the Riverwalk while wearing a freshly pressed shirt from Penners. (Yes, it is that legit).</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/05/la-machy-mamii-promo.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/la-machy">La Machy</a></strong> is best known as a founding member of GRAMMY-nominated international cumbia band <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/la-conquista">La Conquista</a></strong>. The singer-songwriter and musician released a cover “Mamii,” adding her own signature cumbia style to the chart-topping collaboration between <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/karol-g">Karol G</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/becky-g">Becky G</a></strong>.</p>
<span id="more-54600"></span>
<p>The lead single from her solo cumbia project, produced by <strong>Roland “RoRo” Gutierrez</strong>, features the signature urban cumbia beats that La Machy has been recognized since the all-girl group La Conquista debuted 25 years ago in Monterrey, Mexico.</p>
<p>Machy knew she wanted to do her own version of the song after hearing the empowering collaboration. “I just loved it and then I see the impact of that song and it’s going viral like everywhere and I see that nobody’s done the cumbia version yet so I had the idea, ‘You know, I’m just going to do the cumbia version of that song.'” she said.</p>
<p>She hit the <strong>Dragon Lab</strong> studio with Gutierrez in Corpus Christi, Texas, where she now calls home, and produced the track within four sessions. </p>
<p>“Machy added, “We’re pretty excited about putting this song out.”</p>

<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/05/noesalinas-denadasirvio.jpg?w=400" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
</div>
<p>The local entertainment in Pasco, Washington would draw countless public visitors ranging of different ages excited to walk past through the park entrance to see bright lights, carnival rides, games, and smiling faces of young children ready to experience a fun-filled day of activities and tasty foods from numerous food truck vendors to include an up-close and personal experience of the bands scheduled to perform.</p>
<span id="more-54515"></span>
<p>As the music started playing the large communities of families, especially fans, gathered as close to the stage waiting for the spectacular event of the night. You could hear the crowds cheering and applauding, hands and arms waving in the air, showing their support for a familiar and reputable band known by many as <strong>Eligió Salinas Y Su Conjunto</strong>.</p>
<p>Eligió was a superstar in the eyes of his grandson <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/noe-salinas">Noe Salinas</a></strong>. Every time he took the stage, he captivated the audience with his unforgettable presence and energy. </p>
<p>In retrospect to the many performances including quiñceneras and family celebrations, Eligió Salinas mentored and watched Noe grow as an artist. This musical venture with band performances eventually led up to several opportunities where Noe would showcase his talents, one being, his accordion skills. This is where he would set out unknowingly to pursue the course of his unpredicted music journey at the early age of six years old. </p>
<p>“I always wanted to be a drummer as a child, but my grandfather didn’t want me to. He wanted me to be seen upfront on stage,” Noe Salinas tells <em>Tejano Nation.</em> “I’ve slightly learned the basics on other instruments such as bass, bajo sexto, and drums, but accordion has always been my greatest talent.”</p>
<p>While being in the company of his grandfather Noe had several responsibilities, that included assisting with setting up band equipment for rehearsals and stage performances where he trained on his vocals and other instruments. After some time, he decided to venture on his own and chose to continue the family legacy by forming and working on his own band. </p>
<p>“From childhood, music has always been a part of my life,” said Noe. “I was born in Rio Grande City, Texas, and grew up in Pasco, Washington throughout most of my childhood years up until I was 13 years old. My grandfather and his band members always spoke highly of me knowing and were confident I would become a professional musician.”</p>
<p>When Salinas took the approach and moved forward with what he learned, his journey would lead him to join the band <strong>Kalidad</strong>. Between the ages of 13 and 15, <strong>Rodrigo Velasquez</strong> welcomed Noe and a few of his closest friends to join Grupo Iman. These two bands were not only immensely successful, but they reminded him of what he loved most. </p>
<p> “When I was with Kalidad I was inspired by <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jaime-deanda">Jaime De Anda</a></strong>,” said Noe Salinas. “Los Chamacos was one of my all-time favorite bands before I formed Iman. My special mentors were <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ramon-ayala">Ramon Ayala</a></strong> and <a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/ricky-munoz"><strong>Ricky Munoz</strong></a>, who guided and coached me about stage presence, special accordion effects, and how to create my own style while remaining professional.”</p>
<p>In the meantime, Noe Salinas remained positive and grateful for being given the opportunity to network with different connections in the music industry.</p>
<p>It was then he decided to pursue his solo career after working with various bands that he would apply all of his experience to take on the role of a solo artist establishing himself and will give new listeners and followers the chance to hear more of his music at its finest. </p>
<p>On April 25, Salinas released his latest single “De Nada Sirvio,” a song about a man who is heartbroken over a breakup and is reminded that everything he put into the relationship was not worth what it has become. For a couple that has experienced heartbreak, this song can be very relatable. You can sense the depth of his despair and sorrow in the chorus, where he sings about the yearning to forget all of the precious times shared with his beloved. He drowns his sorrows by requesting more drinks of tequila and for the band to keep playing the music.</p>
<p>He realizes that he has dedicated so much time and effort to his lover, that he was caught up with his emotions and led the relationship to become in vain. His hands were full with no options left because it was all bad. No matter the amount of money nor the love he had, would be enough to convince her to stay.</p>
<p>This is simply how life works, and his love was never meant to last forever, so he lets go of his illusions and attachment to the relationship, totally accepting whatever fate has in store for him.</p>
<p>He comes to terms with the fact that his routine and everything else has been taken away from him, leaving him hollow on the inside.</p>
<p>Unlike most artists who sing about happiness and the joys of life, they tend to step away and distract themselves from the inner issues going on beneath the surface. Noe carries viewers through the emotions and depths of pain that a person could experience in the course of a failed relationship. Sometimes the negative aspects are not discussed enough and the ugly, raw, and harsh reality resurfaces.</p>
<p>The song expresses an outlet and gives you comfort and helps the listener confront their own emotional wounds and past experiences. </p>
<p>As listeners, he reassures us that we must all understand that fate and destiny have our best interests at heart. </p>
<p>Wherever you are in the present moment is where you’re meant to be. It is through acceptance and coming to terms with our situation we learn to appreciate the good times more. </p>
<p>“The song doesn’t specifically describe anything I’ve personally gone through, but it can relate to many heartbreaks that occur often,” said Noe Salinas. “I try to put myself in the writer’s shoes and feel every detail of the music.”</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/05/mujerjmaravilla.jpg?w=1000" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Courtesy of New Mex Records</figcaption></figure>
<p>Celebrating your mother every day is great and should be part of a daily routine because she deserves it. She taught you everything, kept you safe, and did it with poise, flair, and a style all her own. Indeed, Mother’s Day is very personal and intimate due to the fact that our relationships with our mothers are private and intimate, and form the very characteristics of our personalities. Audiences vicariously live through relatable artists, recognizing their ability to tap into common emotions and providing clever phrasing they couldn’t come up with, but wanted to. </p>
<span id="more-54518"></span>
<p>On “Mujer Maravilla” <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/gabriella-salazar">Gabriella Salazar</a></strong> eclipses her previous artistry, spectacularly interweaving varying aspects of all that encompasses a mother-daughter relationship into an exciting listening experience for her fans. In fact, this song originated as a description of how Gabriella viewed her mother, <strong>Feliz Salazar</strong>, and grandmother, as well as how Feliz likewise views her mother as a wonder woman, a “Mujer Maravilla.” </p>
<p>This melancholic, nostalgic recollection spans multiple generations of motherhood and is superbly immersive. A beautifully written ’80s Rock-inspired ballad featuring heavy guitar riffs and punchy solos, Gabriella’s compelling tribute to the genre of her upbringing. </p>
<p>Developing early this March, “Mujer Maravilla” was in fact destined, a manifestation of an insistent Gabriella who wanted to collaborate on a song with her mother Feliz, whose initial reluctance was replaced with passion when she fell in love with the concept. The duet is available to stream or download on all digital music platforms.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/04/yotedavatodo.jpeg?w=1000" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure>
<p><strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/destiny-navaira">Destiny Navaira</a></strong> released her latest single and focus track of her highly-anticipated sophomore album. “Yo Te Daba Todo” is a collabroation with <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jose-adan-esparza">José Adán Esparza</a></strong> of <strong>Grupo Bronco</strong>.</p>
<span id="more-54029"></span>
<p>“This was truly a dream of mine,” commented Destiny. “Bronco is one of my favorite groups and now to have a song with Jose is something incredible to me.”</p>
<p>The song written by the songstress is one of a classic break-up story, with melodies and arrangements that represent both family dynasties, Los Navaira y Los Esparza.</p>
<p>“The recording process was such an experience. We’re connected not only through what we’re doing to continue our families’ legacies but also through my producer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/alfonso-herrera">Alfonso “Ponchó” Herrera</a></strong> who has put his whole heart into my project,” said Destiny. </p>
<p>The video was shot in Monterrey, Mexico under the direction of <strong>Bones Lopez</strong> and <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/rigo-navaira">Rigo Navaira</a></strong>. “Everything we’re doing is coming from our hearts,” said Destiny. “I’ve been so very blessed, but it’s also been so much hard work. To see the release of this video and song makes it all worth it.”</p>
<p>“Yo Te Daba Todo” is available on all digital platforms and the official video on Destiny’s YouTube Channel. Destiny’s album <em>Dime Como Se Siente</em> will be released on April 22, 2022.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/04/johnny-jj-al-estilo-de-camilo-front-cover.jpg?w=1000" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Courtesy of Rancho Alegre Records</figcaption></figure>
<p>AUSTIN, TX — Austin Conjunto music legend “El Montopolis Kid” <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/johnny-degollado">Johnny Degollado</a></strong> has released his latest album, <strong><em>Musica Al Estilo de Camilo</em></strong>, an instrumental tribute to his mentor <strong>Camilo Cantu</strong> on Austin-based <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/rancho-alegre-records">Rancho Alegre Records</a></strong>.</p>
<span id="more-53615"></span>
<p>The album, recorded with engineer <strong>Nico Leophonte</strong> at Al Nico Recording Studio, seeks to answer a question Austin music buffs have been asking for decades: “What did Camilo Cantu sound like?” Although Cantu never recorded and retired relatively early in his life to repair accordions, his influence on the next generation of Austin accordionists is undeniable with Degollado being his most notable protege. </p>
<p><em>Musica Al Estilo de Camilo</em> is a step back in time to Cantu’s heyday, 1940s Austin when people would flock to an outdoor dance venue called <strong>La Polkita</strong> in Del Valle, southeast of Austin. La Polkita is also where a young Johnny Degollado would go watch Cantu get the crowd on their feet and catch a glimpse of his future on the squeezebox.</p>
<p><strong>RELATED:</strong> <a href="https://tejanonation.net/2021/07/20/conjunto-legends-johnny-degollado-and-jj-barrera-featured-in-covid-19-psa/">Conjunto legends Johnny Degollado and JJ Barrera featured in COVID-19 PSA</a></p>
<p>In these ten songs, Degollado has interpreted classic compositions in the style of Cantu, employing the same tricks and techniques that Cantu taught him over six decades ago. These songs were composed by Cantu’s contemporaries <strong>Pedro Ayala</strong>, <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/santiago-jimenez">Don Santiago Jimenez</a></strong>, and <a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/narciso-martinez"><strong>Narciso Martinez</strong></a>, all of whom are considered true pioneers of Conjunto music. Additionally, there are two songs composed by fellow Austin legend <strong>Jose “Joe” Reyna</strong>, along with several Degollado originals. </p>
<p>To further evoke the old-style Conjunto of the era, the album is 100% instrumental and stripped down to the bare bones of just Degollado on accordion accompanied by veteran musician <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/jj-barrera">JJ Barrera</a></strong> on bajo sexto.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/04/santiago_stillkicking.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Courtesy of Hardcharger/Blue Élan Records</figcaption></figure>
<p>San Antonio, TX –– Varios miembros de la icónica familia Jiménez, encabezada por <strong>Santiago Jiménez Sr.</strong>, conocido como el “Padre de la Música Tejana Moderna”, son pioneros en la música tejana. <strong>Santiago “Jimmy” Jiménez Jr.</strong> anunció hoy que ha firmado un nuevo contrato discográfico con <strong>Hardcharger Records</strong>, ubicado en Austin, Texas y recientemente formada en asociación con <strong>Blue Élan Records</strong>. Hardcharger es un sello fundado por el guitarrista, cantante, compositor y autor de Austin, TX <strong>Jesse Dayton</strong>. El nuevo álbum de Santiago, <em>Still Kicking!</em>, se lanzará el 20 de mayo de 2022, mientras que <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://santiagojimenezjr.lnk.to/almirar" target="_blank">el primer sencillo, “Al Mirar Tu Cara”, ya está disponible hoy</a>.</p>
<span id="more-53482"></span>
<p>“Al Mirar Tu Cara” fue popularizada por el padre de Santiago, Don Santiago Jiménez (el original El Flaco). Aunque Don Santiago nunca grabó la canción, siempre estuvo presente en su repertorio durante sus presentaciones en vivo. “Mi papá la tocaba en sus bailes, era una gran canción que recuerdo que cantaba, es una canción sobre ver una cara bonita que no puedes olvidar”.</p>
<p>Santiago “Jimmy” Jimenez Jr. viene de un largo linaje de músicos innovadores. Su legendario padre, Santiago Jiménez Sr., es reconocido como el “Padre de la Música de Conjunto Moderna” y su hermano, <a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/flaco-jimenez"><strong>Flaco Jiménez</strong>,</a> ha ganado dos premios Grammy y ha colaborado con artistas como Bob Dylan y The Rolling Stones.</p>
<p>El jefe de Hardcharger Records, Jesse Dayton, describe la primera vez que vio a Santiago tocar en vivo en San Antonio: “Pensé: ‘Oh, Dios mío… él es el vínculo vivo entre la música norteña y tejana que influyó en el rock n roll, el country y la música latina moderna. Estoy viendo la encarnación viva de eso. ¡La fuente! Entonces, cuando Garrett T. Capps dijo que tenía esta grabación cruda y poderosa al estilo de la vieja escuela que hizo con Santiago, aproveché la oportunidad de publicarla en nuestro sello discográfico Hardcharger. Este proyecto es un trabajo de amor. ¡Nuestro objetivo número 1 es promover una de las últimas leyendas vivas de San Antonio, Texas!”</p>
<p>Santiago Jr. ha grabado para docenas de sellos discográficos legendarios de Texas a lo largo de los años – sellos históricos como Disco Grande, Lira, Corona, D.L.B. y más recientemente Shotgun House. La primera sesión de grabación de Jimmy data de alrededor de 1960 con Disco Grande.</p>
<p>De hecho, el propietario y productor de la disquera, Mel Moran, fue el primero en comercializarlo como “Santiago Jiménez Jr.” “La gente decía que jugaba como mi padre, que tenía su estilo”, recuerda. “Por eso me empezaron a llamar Santiago Jiménez Jr.”</p>
<p>Después de 60 años de escribir y grabar miles de canciones en San Antonio, una Medalla Nacional de las Artes en 2015 que le otorgó el presidente <strong>Barack Obama</strong> y dos nominaciones al Grammy, es difícil imaginar qué caminos, o “calles”, <strong>Santiago Jr.</strong> todavía tiene que viajar.</p>
<p>Para su nuevo álbum, <em>Still Kicking!</em>, <strong>El Chief</strong> (como también se le conoce) seleccionó algunas canciones que tocaba en los primeros años de su carrera. Una de las canciones que grabó a la edad de 16 años durante su primera sesión de grabación con Moran en el estudio TNT, “Que Chulos Ojos”, fue escrita por el legendario compositor Juan Gaytan. El álbum fue producido por <strong>Garrett T. Capps </strong>y cuenta con la participación del ganador del premio Grammy <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/max-baca">Max Baca</a> </strong>en bajo sexto y <strong>Noel Hernandez</strong> en tololoche, ambos del grupo Los Texmaniacs. Ellos ayudaron a crear un sonido que es tan auténtico en San Antonio como disfrutar de un plato de enchiladas y tomar una cerveza Pearl en el Riverwalk con una camisa recién planchada de Penners.</p>
<p><strong>Próximos conciertos:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>April 2 – Paper Tiger, San Antonio, TX</li>
<li>May 5 – Antone’s, Austin, TX</li>
<li>May 20 – Album Release Party @ Lonesome Rose, San Antonio, TX w/Jesse Dayton & Garrett T. Capps</li>

<p>Popular San Antonio-based content creators “<strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/bean-chisme">Bean & Chisme</a></strong>” released their annual song titled “Bad Moms Fiesta” today to kick off the 2022 Fiesta season in San Antonio, Texas<strong>.</strong></p>
<span id="more-53109"></span>
<p>This year’s theme is all about Moms! Songwriter and performer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/samantha-najera">Samantha Najera</a></strong>, co-creator of “Bean & Chisme,” felt the need to recognize all Moms across the world who feel tired, exhausted, and those who deserve a great night out-especially during the biggest party in the Alamo City every year, Fiesta.</p>
<p>Najera commented, “Every Mom has been cooped up over the past couple of years. Some of us just surviving day to day to keep our lives afloat, especially for our kids. Now that Fiesta is back into the full swing of things, we were excited to write a special song that will inspire and hopefully bring lots of laughs to those deserving Moms. We know the power of laughter and want everyone to enjoy it and have a good time dancing to it.”</p>
<p>The song was co-written by “Bean & Chisme” co-creator Nina Duran, music artist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/carlton-zeus">Carlton Zeus</a></strong>, and TikTok star and comedian <strong>Joanna Estrada</strong>, also known as “<strong>Chona E</strong>.”</p>
<p>Estrada, also a mom of two, is featured as a rapper on the song and brings the special comedic touch everyone expects from “Bean & Chisme” each year.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://tejanonation.files.wordpress.com/2022/03/malojo_coverart.jpg?w=1024" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Courtesy of Americano Label</figcaption></figure>
<p>Trailblazing Mexican-American artist <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/veronique">Veronique Medrano</a></strong> is shaking up Tejano music for the next generation. Connecting with nu cumbia pioneer <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/el-dusty">El Dusty</a></strong> and Latin Grammy award-winning <strong>Mario Herrera</strong>, Veronique is proud to present her new single “Mal Ojo” featuring <strong><a href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/dj-kane">DJ Kane</a></strong> (Kumbia Kings).</p>
<span id="more-52927"></span>
<p>“Mal Ojo” is a liberating anthem of self-love and strength that fuses elements of Cumbia, Trap, and Electronic. The new single is taken from Veronique’s upcoming album <em>Mexi-Americana</em>.</p>
<p>Veronique is a rising star in the new Tejano scene. With an eclectic and evolving catalog, the Brownsville, Texas native showcases her genre-bending talents in Country Americana, Latin Pop, Cumbia, and Tejano.</p>
<p>She has been featured by a variety of regional and national media outlets such as <em>Despierta America</em>, <em>Texas Monthly</em>, <em>Latino USA</em>, and more. KSAT’s <em>Good Morning San Antonio</em> hailed her as “A Tejano artist with a voice as big as the Lonestar State.” Veronique has received five Tejano Music Award nominations including Best New Female Artist in 2017.</p>
<p>For Veronique, “Mal Ojo” is liberation from conformity. She explains, “Mal Ojo (Evil Eye) is a common phrase that is rooted in Latino and Mexican culture that is best explained as others putting bad juju on you based on their perceptions of you and what they covet of yours. The song came from the experiences in my life where people clearly coveted things of mine and used their words as weapons against me and my identity in this very male-dominated space of the Mexican Regional (Tejano) genre. I was never Mexican or Tejano enough for their liking because I didn’t fit a particular image of what they felt best represented one.” Veronique continues, “Mal Ojo can be liberating. It has allowed me to take stock in my power and my identity as both a Mexican (Latinx) and an American. In that duality there is strength.”</p>
<p>“Mal Ojo” was recorded at El Dusty’s <strong>Produce Sound Studios</strong> in Corpus Christi, Texas. Veronique said, “One of my career goals was to record and create a song with El Dusty, and the stars managed to align to make that happen.”</p>
<p>With over 40 original songs to her catalog, as well as five she’s written herself; it can be said that Veronique’s music is a snapshot of her growth and solidified identity in music and arts. </p>
<p>As the lead single from her new album Mexi-Americana, which will showcase a duality of culture and spirit, “Mal Ojo” is the first step in showcasing what fans will hear thematically on the record.</p>
<p>“Mal Ojo” is out now with Americano Label. Download and save here: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://music.empi.re/malojo" target="_blank">https://music.empi.re/malojo</a>.</p>

<p>The Houston, Texas-based conjunto brings over 30 years of experience in a diversity of genres varying from Tejano, Mexican Regional, and Conjunto. </p>
<p>Conjunto Senzzible features Quezada on bajo sexto and lead vocalist, who has almost 20 years experience in a variety of bands and recorded several albums that include his original compositions.

<p>Conjunto Senzibble released their debut album <em>Que Suerte La Mia</em> in 2012 on <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://tejanonation.net/tag/hacienda-records" target="_blank"><strong>Hacienda Records</strong></a>. Their new album <em>Volume 2</em> is already streaming worldwide and has received rave reviews. The band is already started production on their third full album continuing the current momentum.</p>
