OWOM, in collaboration with Texas Folklife, presents an exciting program featuring emerging conjunto artists. Texas Folklife is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and promoting the diverse cultural heritage of Texas. Texas Folklife strives to showcase the traditions, arts, and stories of communities across the state through various programs and events. Texas Folklife aims to ensure that these traditions continue to thrive for generations by fostering a sense of belonging and appreciation for cultural heritage.

Mexican conjunto music, also known as conjunto tejano, was born in south Texas at the end of the 19th century, after German settlers introduced the button accordion. The bajo sexto has come to accompany the button accordion and is integral to the conjunto sound. Many conjuntos are concentrated in the Southwestern portion of the United States, primarily in Texas and California. In Mexico, the term conjunto is associated with norteño and tejano music. Come join us for a wonderful program and cultural immersion with stories, food and beverage.
