Max Baca and Los Texmaniacs are the Past, Present And Future of Conjunto Music. Conjunto music may be a familiar sound to residents of Texas, but its worldwide appeal can be surprising. Combine a hefty helping of Tex Mex conjunto, simmer with several parts Texas rock, add a daring dash of well-cured blues, and R&B riffs, and you’ve cooked up the tasty Grammy winning LosTexmaniacs groove. Bajo sexto master Max Baca, cut his teeth with the hit-making, crossover band The Texas Tornados, founded GRAMMY award winning, 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.
