Joel Guzman-Polka

[@GLSORIA]

For me Joel Guzman is one of the best Accordion Player He has a lot of talent and can play anykind of music I met him in Austin and he is one of the nicest person I have met It was an Honor to have met him

I was there that night. Estuvo de aquellas!...I wanted to chime in on the origins of Tejano/Mexicano accordion music. Before Conjunto, raza in the northern part of Mexico (which included Texas at the time) used to play music in what was called Conjunto de Cuerda (String Group), and the instruments comprised of violins, stand up bass, harps, and guitars among other various stringed instruments (like mandolins in some cases).

Max Baca is a great musican I think, I have been playing the guitar for 60 years and I couldn't come close to him. Now I want a twelve string just like his. By the way, I am a gringo and I like Mexican Music, its some of the best I think!!

[@armeugran]

Hoy no mas!!!! Ahhh Whoooa! Viva CONJUNTO y Tejas!!!

Also, for Labor Day in WEST, TX (Kolache Capital) is the WESTFEST..Another Czech event which will be Awesome. Go see the Ennis Czech Boys and The Vrazels'... Que Vive El Conjunto! AJUA!

I'm taking lessons from Joel. He is an awesome guy. Going to his birthday party on April 30th =)

[@cowgirlM]

Dang!!!!!!! I'm jealous! I would LOVE to take from him....from anyone really, we don't have tejano accordion down here in the ATL. But Joel is the masta!!!

[@Tlakatekatl]

Looks like my post was truncated, here's the rest of it.. With the Czech influx to Texas after it's independence, Conjuntos de Cuerda adopted the accordion, but kept the stand up bass, which was later replaced by the bajo-sexto - six string bass guitar exclusive to Conjunto. The 'huapango' style is strictly indigenous using European instruments, and I read something years ago that suggested that 'western' music was greatly influenced by the string bands of northern Mexico(Texas and Tamaulipas).

[@HectorAwol]

It sounds darn nice!

[@BertrandLaurenceMusic]

[@HectorAwol]

[@mem3209]

felicidades sr joel guzman y sr max baca que ermoso tocan me haria el favor de decirme el titulo de estas polkas,

[@titosalcedo1000]

mucho sabor compadre

[@armeugran]

La Musica Tejana y Conjunto viene de los Alemanes, Czech y Polacos. No hay otro tono como La Musica Tejana!!! Viva las Polkas Tejanas...

[@elcuateee]

quiero saber que marca es el acordion de joel gusman

[@sanagus-o8c]

la musica de acordeon tiene un mismo origen. alla por 1850, un grupo de alemanes, polacos, y hasta checos, se establecieron en sur de Texas y el norte de México, y trajeron su musica y danzas, tocadas con acordeon. Luego, entre 1910 y 1920, a casusa de la Revolución Mexicana, muchos de ellos decidieron irse y establecerse en Texas, pero durante esos años, impusieron ritmos como la redova y la varsoviana.

[@bacamxli]

muy bien este popurri es algo similar al que grabara ramon ayala en el primer disco con eliseo robles o uno de los primeros, no todo pero se asimila perfecto men muy buen video saludos

[@12ozUE]

Yes polka's are Garman, Polish, Dutch and Czech. But these are Spanish Polkas. =)

[@alvizo2k]

Spanish polkas originated from Polish, German, etc.. polkas but we put a little salsa style. ;-)

[@nickelsmine000]

I Love Mexican Polkas! And Germans Do Too!

[@py3ar]

Cobiçava ver tambem se a turma dá uma ameaçada na dança , deve ser muito lindo ver a turma dando uma floreada , ainda mais com estas marcas , que o Joel vem encordoando igual teta de leitoa , e na polka o pessoal fica igual anão em comício ....

[@RetroTony1959]

@MrLinolinares Very true but if you listen closely Tejanos add their own flavor to their music. A slight difference than the mexicano Norteno style.de los alegres de Teran.

[@56finlynodak]

@Estala09 me sinto de aqui, el error que se a echo en este pais por mexico americanos es que se deci antes "aqui en texas ay americanos, mexicanos, y negros"No senor habia AMERICANOS Y NEGROS AMERICANOS ES TODO!

[@fjsolis1]

Tricky Rabbit!

[@YooTubeMaster]

I've heard alot of polkas, but this sounds like a Cancion with no vocals.

[@Tlakatekatl]

Mexicans are Mexicans, and Spaniards are Spaniards. Don't get us mixed up. Would you say that gringos are English?

[@thekingofmoney2000]

Tejano music is not Mexican music, Tejano music was created in Texas not in Mexico! Thats why its called Tejano music!

[@plank0wner]

es muy bueno gracias
