I'm surprised to find a fellow from Norway that likes this kind of music! Honestly, it took awhile for my wife and I to warm up to it and start performing musica nortena. although we've heard this music our whole lives. We're more into the tropical Latin sound of salsa, merengue, and bachata. But there is such a demand for nortena music here in Texas, and it's speeding so much, that we had to jump on the band wagon. We actually like it now and have a greater appreciation of it after digging into it a performing it.No reason for musical snobbery (especially if you want to work)

Hi Dave, I've heard about those old power Mexican stations that could broadcast into the states. I heard they would even play C&W and rock n'roll. Very cool you enjoyed the ranchera music despite annoying brother!

Donny and Tony thanks for listening ! Your kind remarks mean a lot coming from musical veterans such as yourselves.

Thanks Don! Interesting that you have an El Dorado connection. It's kind of the last place I'd expect to do any kind of Latin gig. The club usually features country or R&B groups but they're trying to tap into the growing Latino market. Anyways, nice town and people. The club treats us nice and doesn't mess around with the money.

Thank you for sharing such a vigorous performance, liked it!

I can assure you, I'm not the only one.
Scandinavians love music that appeal to the heart and make the feet wanna jump out at the floor and dance.

When I was a kid, in another century, in Tulsa, we got a strong radio signal from Del Rio!

Thank you so much for sharing.

Haha, I think a number of us were born near the middle of the last century.

Actually, it is not a joke, but something from a PBS music documentary called ACCORDION DREAMS: The history of Tejano accordion music. I bought the DVD a number of years ago, but I just found out that the whole video is available on Youtube.

OK, without a further ado, he-----re is the answer;

Texas is jut hotter than Germany!

The video made me buy three button boxes and one of them Italian made fitted with MIDI.

There is such beauty in simple music such German ethnic music and Tejano. In speaking of Latin flavored music, I thought you might enjoy this trio singing an old hymn and playing on three romantic nylon stringed guitars. Such a simple arrangement and such humble-looking guys. I can listen to these guys for hours.
