Flaco jimenez ft Toby Torres mejor dueto que la musica de conjunto ha tenido .....superando al millón por uno a los que se dicen autonombrarse reyes del acordeon

[@ledaswan5990]

“Autonombrarte” Es cierto,hay muchos que hacen eso. Pero como Flaco y Toby no hay comparación.

Joe "King" Carrasco, what a delightful young. I'm 75, so I know my Country Music! made two discoveries today, score! only knew Flaco, but loved him, from Dwight Yoakam performances. Such a Handsome Young Man, Flaco! I liked the way the young ladies in the video were dressed and loved this young man, Joe's, enthusiasm. Liked his music, almost got out of bed and danced!!

I just started reading and writing comments. The Music brought me here, The desire to communicate to others with a love of music, All Music! My Mama taught me, You can't say sumthin' nice, then don't say nuthin!! Some of the remarks sound so mean. Too much of a downer, especially after listening to one of my OLD favorites. SMH 😕 So... we all hold the power of in our hands, me not to read and yous not to listen, and that takes care of negative comments. 😊

[@el_chief_dannyboy]

Doncha forgot Cajun music is a huge influence on our Tex ~ Mex music.

[@gruber1889]

The Bajo Sexto looks cross between a 12 String Guitar and a Cello because the body is actually a modified Cello body.

[@494main]

Lastima que no lo conozco pero me encanta su música y su forma de cantar

[@sunnybun911]

Nice! I like...

[@jimmymurphy7789]

Being of part German descent you'd think I would like their Polkas (the way they were originally played), but they are way too "White" & Bland for me. In other words - " If it ain't got them spicy 'Red Chili Peppers' mixed in (the Tex-Mex "flavor"), then I ain't interested, period."

[@falouerba7730]

Not all polkas coming from white regions are plain and bland, if you hear the cleveland style polkas in America they can be fun they’re more based from Austro-slovenian polkas from europe These polkas are texano and they come from the mexican style polkas which are different. I recommend listen to Walter ostanek, Frankie yancovik, alex meixner, Lojze Slak, Franc Delcnjak I listen to all Texano, Mexican, Cleveland , Slovenian , austrian polka POLKA polka has no borders

[@krisverde]

German food is bland so it makes sense. 😂

[@aidendiaz6038]

Literal history in this video

[@Mrbabalu3]

thank you for this video:)

[@rjsfr]

hell ya TEX MEX ROJAS.

[@mgutjr9984]

Does anyone know the name of the German polka he plays at 1:31?

[@BadIdeaBearCub]

I'm not an expert but for me is not the speed but the syncopation what makes them sound different. Except for the newer generations of European accordionists that are incorporating tex-mex and country styles to their music, the difference used to be very notorious.

[@MyLifeMyworld-sy6ts]

Holy spirit

[@altTwoOneO]

When he says Cowboy he means Tejano

[@noecancino]

Is the song at 34 seconds completely lost??

[@RealGeorgeYanez]

Very rad rad rad!!!!

[@Suederizm]

Boyd Matson I love this Report Do you have more fi.m of Santiago Sr. and Santiago Family? I was wondering if you could sell or send me footage of the Tex Mex you have. I watch this video everyday and think to myself if there is more.

[@FernandoRamosjito]

Nuevo wavo isn't nuevo at all , it's just Zydeco , cajun music ! I prefer the regular Tex-Mex .

[@Andy-im3kj]

Maaaaaaan, that's blasphemy. Tex-mex will always sound like this: 1:55 not like this bullshit: 3:23

[@gerriekragt7578]

[@krisverde]

Agreed. 100% Garbage

[@joshualomas2138]

[@grubeci]

latest news: mexicos wages are lower than chinas and those two want to trade

[@jgbalboa]

Must be great. Mexico is the biggest US/Canada trader

[@elreymaestroconjunto]

Actually its always been the opposite! The Germans with their polka accordion bands have always played faster than the Conjuntos from America in Texas "Musica Regional" and the Conjuntos from Mexico "Musica Norteña". The Germans have been doing this since the 1800s and presently. TRUE FACTS!

[@grubeci]

everywhere you go people just wanna be affordable..I mean free.

[@MyLifeMyworld-sy6ts]
