Music has no barriers in the world. I was pleasantly surprised to find this on YouTube. It shows that Tex-Mex/Tejano/Norteno-style music aficionados are there even in Japan. From what I hear, Tex-Mex/Tejano/Norteno-style is very popular in countries like Holland where they sing it mostly in Dutch and not Spanish, yet the spirit of the Norteno core is definitely present.
@eddybajo5 totalmente de acuerdo, la musica texana sera el country... lo q ellos deberian llamar "conjunto music" tiene sus raices super fincadas en México..
Todas las formas culturales y transculturales son respetables y aunque no lo crean son evolutivas, asi que no existe nada original mas que lo que se va transformando. aparte la música es el lenguaje universal por excelencia! saludos... Chido por los movimientos culturales que si hacen algo y no se dedican a mal criticar...
this is mexican music, and well anything in texas is also mexican, you tell me what was texas 100 years ago? it was mexico, and its mexican culture still lives today but you guys call it "tejano" get your own culture
@mamalon9207 No it's not actually Mexican. It actually transpired in the late 1800's when Tejas was already a US state and the local Mexicanos adapted the German style of the Germans in that area. So in actallity Tex Mex is very American. Now the 20th century Northern Mexican groups got it from Tejas and made there own style ie: ramon Ayala,Los Alegres de Teran. Now mariachi is Mexican but also adapted from France.
@ChowHallCommando actually you are right saying that his music comes from Europe, I agree with that..but the music was brought in first instance to Mexico especially Monterrey,Mexicans that lived in Texas adapted the Mexican style with other arrangements they made..so this music is mexican, and in my opinion this music is wrongly called Tejano because Texas have country music, so this music is originated in Mexico in the modern form.. history is history, my friend.
@galivanderluciaud29 My family came up from Monterrey and my Grandfather even noticed that the Mexicans born and raised in Texas had a style of Norteno all their own. I can always tell the difference between Tejano Mexican music and Mexican groups. Even though we're the same race their is a difference one can tell. Besides Mexicanos don't like Mexiacans born in the US for some strange reason.They don't consider US citizens Mexicans. That's ok. W have an identity all our own.
@ChowHallCommando I respect Mexicans born in US, I have family there.. I agree with you, the 2 musics has their own identity.. Texano with American elements.. Mexican music without these elements. Good music anyway.
Awebo son CLASICOS MEXICANOS,Y ME DA UN CHINGO DE ORGULLO QUE ESTOS VATOS LA CANTEN,PERO AY CADA PENDEJO TEJANO QUE LE ECHA MAL A MEXICO,ENTONCES PARA QUE VERGAS ESCUCHAN el texMEX,O TEJANO MUSIC YA NO SEAN PENDEJOS Y QUE VIVA MEXICO!!
Mis respetos y mi admiración para estos pelaos. Son chingones e interpretan pura música mexicana. México sigue siendo la potencia cultural de América.
Wow I didn't know he passed on! RIP Kenji! I saw him perform on the Domingo Show in Corpus over 10 years ago or so. I was taken aback by these guys that were Japanese and could belt out these Tejano songs. Man! He was good! God Bless you!
I knew him briefly here in Osaka, Japan, very cool guy. I will have to look for some video i shot of him at a small bar, my wife and I were the only people there with him and he played a great set. Hard to believe he is gone.
jalisco yes he was really japanese i had the privelage of driving him around here in houston just before he died.. great man with badass tejano stories..... and yes he did play the accordion badass too i got to see him play it while he was on his death bed
@straitsbabe oi nomas a este sonso!!! ora resulta que jose alfredo jimenez era "tejano" jajajaj ches intentos de pochos todavia no se secan de cuando cruzaron el bravo y ya se sientes gringos jaja
@ChowHallCommando Ohh yes!! all those mariachis in Paris and all the norteño bands in berlin, actually I think Beethoven composed this song!! It's sarcasm.
@AAAS1975 Seriously sir,you really need to do some study on this. The origins of this music are European. If you really want to hear Mexican music listen to Azteca and Mayan folk music. The rest was taken from European influence. Emperor Maximilian of France introduced Mariachio type groups brought from France and Spain.. If you go to any Pub in Berlin you will here music similar to "Banda" and Accordion Tejano.
@ChowHallCommando ESTA ES MUSICA MEXICANA REAL , LA MUSICA AZTECA Y MAYA A LA KE TE REFIERES ES MUSCIA PREHISPANICA, KE TAMBIEN FUE CREADA O SEA OVBIO LOS AZTECAS Y LOS MAYAS NO TENIAN COMO GRABAR MUSICA VERDAD? ENTOCNES COMO SABES KE ESA ES MEXICANA,???? TODO LO KE SOMOS ES COMPUESTO DE ALGUNAS INFLUENCIAS POR KE FUIMOS CONKISTADOS PERO NO NADA KE VER KE NUESTRA MUSICA SEA EUROPEA, SI NO, POR KE ESTAN CANTANTDO EN ESPAÑOL HA??? VIVA MEXICO CABRONES¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ESTA ES MUSICA NORTEÑA NO TEXANA
@marranaparada Pues que respuesta tan ignorante. Entonces los europeos estan copiando a los mexicanos? jajaja. Viva mexico? Orgullosos pero bien pendejos. En lugar de avanzar en sus vidas se quedan en su ignorancia con idolos falsos. Viva Mexico? Pero siguen abandonando sus pueblos. Que class de orgullo es eso???
@ChowHallCommando yo no entiendo cual es tu punto, simplemente toma las cosas como son, independientemente de lo que pase en el pais o no, es bonito entrarse con esos pequeños detalles que destaquen algunas pocas cosas buenas de nuestra gente.
Yo siento orgullo de mi gente, de esa que ayuda a los demas, de las que ve pasar a alguien con sed y le da agua, de la que se saluda sin conocerse, no se en que parte vivas tu pero donde yo vivo asi si es la gente, ese es mi orgullo mexicano.
@dani2188 Este mensaje vino con respecto como caballero. Eso si es bueno en lugar de maldiciones como su primera respuesta. Solo estuve puntando qye originalmente esta musica nortena fue levantada por mexicanos que en los 1800's oyedon los Alemanes y los Czechs y los tipicos musicates de esos regiones que vivian en ese parte de Tejas y adaptaron la misma forma de musica, Eso solo es facto pero usted salio con palabras como"cabrones" Yo no te insulte nada.
@ChowHallCommando, are you a hypocrite or just plain pendejo? in your YouTube channel you mention you give respect and demand the same, but from your comments I'm reading you show very little respect for Mexico and its music.
The roots of norteño music are indeed european but the mexican norteño music has a style all its own and a very distinctive sound from the original polka music.
@fierrote , I don't know what youmean. You're the one that came out disrespectful from the beginning and enchando maldiciones. I suggest you view my first posting. Your the one yelling "CABRONES" to everyone. I never usedany foul language. Read your own post.
@ChowHallCommando, I'm gonna repeat quote you when you responded to marranaparada 2 days ago. "Pues que respuesta tan ignorante. Entonces los europeos estan copiando a los mexicanos? jajaja. Viva mexico? Orgullosos pero bien pendejos. En lugar de avanzar en sus vidas se quedan en su ignorancia con idolos falsos. Viva Mexico? Pero siguen abandonando sus pueblos.

@fierrote Si yo capisco, and that was in response to your large print insults as you can see posted here also. You give trash and I'll through it right back.
