Mazz is a Grammy Award winning Tejano band originating from south Texas. They were formed in Brownsville, TX, by singer/guitarists Jimmy González and Joe López, and emerged as one of the most innovative bands in their genre after adding synthesizer to combine traditional Mexican music and popular Latin rhythms. They debuted in 1978 with Mazz, featuring the hit single "Comprendo Mi Amor." During the following decades, Grupo Mazz became a successful band on the regional Mexican scene, climbing the charts with hits "Laura Ya No Vive Aqui" and "No Te Olvidaré," among other songs.Lopez, with his suave voice, and Gonzalez, with his winning songwriting and producing talents made Mazz one of Tejano Music's best known Bands.Original band leaders Joe Lopez and Jimmy Gonzalez formed Mazz in Brownsville, Texas after already being a part of the former band The Bel-Airs. The group was discovered by Texas music promoter Luis Silva and was originally signed under the Cara Records label. In 1978 they released a self-titled album and began promoting the single Comprendo Mi Amor.Many music awards followed, not only for their high record sales, but also for their contributions to the start of the Tejano music boom. Both Sony Records and EMI Latin later took interest in the band and signed the group to their individual labels. Mazz's albums No Te Olvidare (which received a Grammy ), Para Nuestra Gente, Una Noche Juntos, and Mazz Romanticos Que Nunca have all gone platinum. Mazz then became members of Freddie Records, owned by established Tejano singer Freddie Martinez, which helped promote new and already established Tejano music talents such as Ramón Ayala, Elida Reyna, and Michael Salgado.
@robdue215 it will die if you let it, this music stays in your heart, grant it the mass public may not like our music but it is up to us to keep it alive. So what if the younger generation doesn't like it or listen to it, they'll come around. Alot of people think that when SELENA died Tejano died, last time I checked she died not my music.
Keep a positive attitude. If you give in to this crap from across the border then it will die

Robdue and Danz2l0..I agree..I have grand-kids that keep tuning my car radio to the kind of music they listen to now a days which I can't stand. I remember going to the Celito Lindo dance hall in Mathis, TX with my grand-mother and my cousins every Saturday night. Gosh, I sure hope Tejano Music never dies..It's up to the older generation to introduce it to the young folks..Let's keep it going..

Tejano may not be dead, but it's getting there. The last time I went to visit CC I hit up the Tejano club there and I swear the youngest person there must have been 35. If the younger generation isn't listening to Tejano music like when I was 19-20, Tejano music will eventually dissolve. Personally I hope not, but Tejano music isn't what it used to be.
