La frontera de cristal! I love the corridos and conjunto of the Texas/Mexico borderlands. I am of German/Irish heritage and fluent in Spanish. Our cultures are so closely linked culturally, but so far geographically. ¡Prost, slainte, y salud, mis compas!

[@josecastillo-un3ot]

Im from alice tx. But have family in mex and now live in the valley. Ive been listening to tejano music all my life. Culture passed without knowledge is hardly passed.

Lydia Mendoza (May 31, 1916 - December 20, 2007) was an American guitarist and singer of Tejano, conjunto, and traditional Mexican-American music. She is known as "La Alondra de la Frontera" (or "The Lark of the Border" in English).

Muchos piensan que el bajosexto y el acordeón llegó a México desde Tejas. La verdad es que la música tejana fue una adaptación de la música mexicana Norteño que se popularizó debido a los primeros grabaciones norteñas que se hicieron en San Antonio y también por el radio. La verdad que el bajosexto y el acordeón llevan en México mucho más antes que el siglo 19 de. Esta música que ya existía se popularizó en Tejas Pero eso no quiere decir que el acordeón vino de tejas. La música norteña influyó a la música tejana no al revés.

50magnum805 el bajo sexto y bajo quinto al parecer los inventaron no sé si en San Luis Potosí o en Guadalajara pero ke es del bajío si es .asta los chilenos vienen por trasos para acerlos en chile

[@adrianrr1317]

La distinción no vale por mucho ya que la frontera política entre texas y méxico no corresponde del todo la 'frontera cultural'

[@joaquinflores3547]

@@rafamarquez5563 se hecho se piensa que fue en Michoacán el bajo sexto es un instrumento Mexicano

[@angelmzz]

Un saludo desde la frontera sur, Chiapas, México, larga vida a la música mexicana

Fantastic documentary. I love KZbin.

1. Texas wasn't 'snatched away from Mexico by the US', Texas won its independence from Mexico on the fields of San Jacinto. 2. Pancho Villa was not a hero to the Hispanics on the American side of the border. He would raid their property and take what he wanted. My Great-Grandfather would fight off Pancho Villa's raiders from the American side of the Rio Grande.

[@50magnum805]

Diego Olivarez Texas was taken by a whole bunch of filibuster. Moreover, tejas won there independence after being defeated by Mexico by calling the United States for help.

[@joesolese]

I believe everyone in Texas knows that but if you are referring to New Jersey you are correct. 6th Generation here they just built the border around us.

Lonely Wolf y va erregresar....en pocotienpo...nostardamos 8 siglos.y scams los musulmanes de españa.un siglos.y mas y sacamos estos protestantes..viva la virgen de guadalupe

[@thekingofmoney2000]

Lonely Wolf And before that it belonged to Spain. Many Tejanos have been here since before Mexico existed as an independent country.

[@romanking1202]

no amigo it belonged to Tejanos not to Mexicano, Mexico government always left us to defend ourselves in the frontier to defend against French and British attacks we owe Mexico nothing, remember in the Texas revolution Tejanos faught against Mexico rule alongside the texiclan

Es muy triste ver que gente que busca mejor vida tenga q. Pasar por mal trato de su misma .su servidor estsa casado con una americans y ellos son los dan mas mano .para verguenza de seudo mexicanos . God blees mexicans and latins.

[@jasolis8368]

America did not snatch texas from Mexico the US did. Mexico is in America as well as Brazil,, Argentina, etc. This notion that America is a country is just a doctrine taught is US schools and was began by the brits when they referred to the new world across the Atlantic. If only the US is America then South America is Texas , Alabama and Florida? South of the US border all the way to Patagonia we call US people United Staters or gringos.

[@ellobodejalisco6104]

Norteña música not tex Méx

[@Shinerfolk60]

Durante esos tiempos habia muchos conjuntos norteños que grabaron en disqueras tejanas.
