• 2009 GRAMMY award winner: Best Tejano Album

• Contemporary Tex-Mex music at its very best. Bajo sexto player Max Baca (ex Flaco Jimenez band) formed the Texmaniacs in 1996, inspired by the example of the Texas Tornadoes

• The quartet bring an extra zip to the century-old conjunto music of the Rio Grande Valley -- finely woven instrumental ensemble work (bajo sexto, accordion, bass and drums) topped off with some splendid harmony vocals. The group's mentor Flaco Jimenez makes a special appearance

Reviews

Songlines - Chris Moss

It's less knowing than most US music that pays homage to Mexico, and it's all the better for it. ****
