Tejano and Regional Mexican Music

Summary: Roots, Future and History of Tejano
Review: You must do yourself a favor and buy this book if you like Tejano, norteno, conjunto, banda or grupero music. You must buy the book whether you are a novice who wants to learn what the above terms mean or an expert who knows what the above mean but want to learn the history and the future of this music. Ramiro's book is easy to read and covers almost all of the bands who work in these genres. I really liked Ramiro's top ten lists, they alone provide a good overview of Tejano, norteno and conjunto music. As a Dj, I am familiar with many of the bands. I was looking for any news on Brown Express, a Tejano band of the seventies. I found out the group no longer performs because tragically, the lead singer, Chavela, died during a photo shoot for a Tigres Del Norte record. Gracias Ramiro.
