Grammy Award winners, Los Texmaniacs, bring their Feliz Navidad show to the Odeon on December 9. This is a not-to-be-missed performance. Bajo sexto master Max Baca, who cut his teeth with the hit-making, crossover band The Texas Tornados and has participated on 11 Grammy winning projects, founded Los Texmaniacs in 1997. He sought to form a group that espoused the traditions of Tejano music he grew up with and combined them with elements of blues, rock, country and jazz.
He enlisted his nephew, Josh Baca, a highly skilled accordion player who, on Max’s urging, absorbed the fundamental style and repertoire of the deep conjunto tradition – old-time Tejano polkas, redovas, chotises (schottisches), waltzes and huapangos – to create what Josh calls his “Texas gumbo – my own posole.” The Bacas added drummer and multi-instrumentalist Lorenzo Martínez, who brought to Los Texmaniacs a style that incorporated both Mexican and Chicano cultures as well as American grooves. Next came multi-instrumentalist Noel Hernández, who developed his skills as a performer deep in the heart of conjunto country in the Rio Grande Valley. Hernández’s virtuosic abilities and vast musical heritage made him a natural fit. Los Texmaniacs music champions their musical and cultural heritage with deep, abiding pride and dazzling artistry, as they continually find new facets in the conjunto form.
