Tejano

Tejano music is a vibrant blend of Mexican folk traditions and American influences, rooted in the cultural tapestry of Texas. Emerging in the early 20th century, this genre features the lively rhythms of the accordion and bajo sexto, often infused with elements of polka, ranchera, and country music. Known for its infectious danceability and heartfelt lyrics, Tejano has been popularized by iconic artists like Selena and is celebrated for its ability to unite communities through its joyful, cross-cultural sound.
