All this music is Old school,it will be never be forgotten.there is alot,of young talent. learnnig the trade. to keep this tejano music.going on for years to come. But please don't forget this guys on this video are one of a kind! Viva Tejano Music

[71stang57]

@TheKingjohn69 Yes they are and I feel extremely fortunate to be one of them.

R Rodriguez local producer in SA made a movie on this history of conjunto to tejano music, I began my music career with Dino & Deltones 1965,many like Longoria,Santigo,Flaco, began the conjuntos in valley/central Tex,later Isidro Lopez who revolutionzed the music with brass/electric instruments,from that came Sunny,Little Joe, then the synthziers w/the accordian (Mazz) to what it is today//mix of hip hop with everything thrown in

,but the basic conjunto/tejano music is still played & danced

[71stang57]

@WEBTRAIN Great insight ! I agree and feel fortunate to have been a part of that history while playing with "Little Joe Y La Familia", Rocky Y Milagro, Jess Lopez and the Lantin Soumds ( La Connection) and many many others that contributed to this genre from California to Texas.

[71stang57]

@WEBTRAIN Well stated ! This particular video is a segment taken from the PBS broadcast "Roots of American Music" -"All my Children of the Sun"!

[nicomateo23]

Can someone put the whole thing on here?.....in 10 minute increments?

[fartdanalga]

Se la baña "Little Joe". I love Tejano Music, and I love Texas. Esta con-madre que es de Tejas. Awesome post. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

[illuminatijews]

This music is still pretty popular in San Antonio. I never really got into it, i actually hated this music growing up.

[bigmacattackdj]

Thanks Mr Valerio Longoria for your great contributions to Tejano music and thus Tejano music growing from the roots you planted! Mr longoria was honored by Congress a few years ago as a National Treasure for his contributions to our music! Great video! Thanks to all the early pioneers of Tejano music for your contributions from all Tejanos music lovers, you inspired me to become a Tejano music disc jockey and to play puro hard core Tejano music on my program! Tejano and Proud!

pURA LEYENDA JAJAJA

[MyManyPets]

Oh this makes my want to dance! Reminds me of a wedding. The band wanted a break because "nobody was dancing" but grandpa F made them keep playing because my brother and I were out there getting down. The good ole days when life was simple. Love conjunto music.

[yadilyna]

i miss the valley

[habanerohot]

Where can i view the entire video?

[chilosito]

I'm not Tejano but my Family is. I always thought every time i heard this music it sounds like Polka's to me. It was always in the back of my head and, now that I see this i totally understand. It's amazing how Music Evolutionizesalong with the world. By the way, the guy @ 5:43 looks like Gianni Versace ;0}

[cologono33]

every young mexican american should see this

[ALtheGREATone1]

I agree

[peaboy2009]

man i agree! tejano music it's so fucking great!

[IsaiahM33]

Great video, Steve, but where's the rest of it?!?!

[71stang57]

It's about a 2 hour video and youtube only allows for 10 minutes so I put on what was appropriate to me !!

[MUNDOPEGASSEROFAN]

2:23 my dad said the same thing lol

[buopesado]

ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye ye

[swissnkiefer]

I like this! Is there a way to get this video? Let me know Please!! Thanks! Nice Jammin!!

[harmienta]

Do you think a musical about Cojunto would work?

[71stang57]

Yes, but it would probably depend on your audience and what region of the country you were in. It would really go over well in San Antonio or basically anywhere in the southwest !

[CAPO214z]

whats the name of the song befor las nubes pleas i knowit valerio longoria plz i need this song

[aleisterc2003]

CAPO214z...

El Rosalito is the name of the song prior to Las Nubes.

[a24ktlady]

I am trying to find a vdeo of Little JOe singing "just a good ol' redneck mexican boy" it is a great song! can someone post it or send me a link if you find >>

[71stang57]

I will look into it for you !

[rulesandrulers]

Does anyone know the name of the guy in the background doing the vocals with the large brim hat and red shirt and moustach?

[RPD152]

Was one of San Antonio's best known bajo sexto players. He died in a traffic accident near Cotulla Texas in 2002. He was 56 years old.

[71stang57]

Very sad ! I knew him well and yes he was a legend. This video is from a PBS documentery entitled "Roots of American music" He was one of many featured in this video. I personally am playing trumpet with "Little Joe y La Familia in this video.

[rulesandrulers]

thanks for the post!

[MansonGirl29]

Hey 71stang can you email me the full version. This was one of the best clips I have every seen. My mom and Dad would go crazy if I coulds get'em a clip like this of LJ. Thankyou and thanks for posting this.

[CocoNL]

Great material! Do you have more or is the original video still available? Coco

[71stang57]

There is more but it is very difficult to post to u-tube due to time limitation. Unfortunately

there is no more availability of the original series . I have a copy of the original from P.B.S because I was on the vid. and part of the documentary so they supplied me with a copy. It is very long and really difficult to break into segments.. I got LUCKY to take this small portion of the original and put it to the short u-tube format. The original is very long ! I will try to put another segment on .

[ober58]

Amazing video ! Your such a cutie ! Love Ya !

[beingunchicle]

do you know how arduous it is to get some footage like that? ... I've been trying to get clips like this for a while, so any that I see are jewels to me. (Especially interviews). ... Hence, my "con madre!" COMMENT! ... and I'll say it again! COOOOON MAAAARE! :D

[71stang57]

Thank you ! I was in the footage playing trumpet with Joe and was fortunate enough to get to know the producer and she sent me an orginal copy (raw vid) that I managed to present this portion of.. It was kind of tricky !

[beingunchicle]

con madre!

[eviljack80]

Hey looking good Steve

[71stang57]

Thanks Buddy !
