Any Esteban Jordan fans here today?

I guess not.

Had this been a non-pandemic year, Christopher Ramirez and Ashly Nicole Molina would have been in Austin on a recent Saturday afternoon. As two of the four finalists for the sixteen-and-under conjunto category in the Big Squeeze—the annual competition of Texas’s best young accordion players—they would’ve played live at the Lone Star Plaza in front of the Bullock Texas State History Museum

Middle school & high school kids respectively

40th anniversary conjunto fest in San Antonio May 16 to 22

So many bands. For my money most of these bands are all about the lyrics - which aren’t mindblowing. For non-spanish speakers and limiting to “the classics” I’d say Intocable are the most musically interesting. Tigres are pretty much the setting stone of the genre. And Tucanes de Tijuana the most fun.

Tucanazo, Chona, Me gusta vivir de noche are party classics.

They also have some classic corridos like Aguila Blanca or El Centenario, but corridos are definitely musically boring if you don’t understand the language.

I know some old folks who like to couples swing dance sorta to some of this

Intocable is definitely apt for slow dancing

Oh misread slow as swing. Now I’m curious.

Slow dancing and swing jazz dancing both . Like you also see done to Norteno, zydeco and Cajun and salsa. Admittedly all different but some similar moves
