Annual Tejano Conjunto Festival
Date: September 4th, 2011
Times: noon
Address: Sacramento, CA
Email address: info@LandArrowsProductions.com
URL: http://www.landarrowsproductions.com/
Description: Families camp out in a sea of lawn chairs, their feet tapping to the infectious rhythms of Tejano bands. Cold beer, gorditas and hamburgers, aquas frescas and ice cold soda - as Mexican as mariachis, and as American as apple pie, side by side in tune to the Texas born music.
By blending German polkas with Northern Mexico's rancheros, conjunto was born. The distinctive sound began as a duo with the accordion and the 12-string Mexican guitar or bajo sexto. Radio popularized the music, and the duo added bass and drums. Soon, the cancion ranchera replaced the polka, schottishe and waltz as the conjunto's signature piece.
Presented by Land Arrows Productions at Cesar Chavez Plaza in Sacramento CA, the 5th annual Tejano/Conjunto Festival features 3 Days of Live Music, and fun for the entire family.
