Borders y Bailes: Los Texmaniacs

A cadre of first-rate musicians, Los Texmaniacs injects a decidedly louder, edgier, rock-n-roll dimension into conjunto. Fueling their "downright stomping"-styled conjunto is the desire "to do hip music that everybody in the world can relate to, with the traditional elements," the group affirms. "That's the concept, without ever losing your cultura. As long as the feel is right, and it's done right, it's going to be good. There are only two kinds of music—good and bad."
