Norteño in Brownsville, TX

On the southernmost tip of Texas, Brownsville sits at the birthplace of conjunto, the accordion and bajo sexto style that Narciso Martinez helped shape in nearby San Benito. The Charro Days Fiesta celebrates the city's cross-border soul with Tejano and norteño bands playing along the Rio Grande. Country and rock fill local stages, but the core sound remains rooted in Mexican American border tradition; conjunto and Tejano are not genres here, they are the native language of the Valley.
