Thank You Tejanos and Tejanas 2006 

 

Happy New Year 2007, from Tejano Pride USA, Chanty and Rudy. Thanks to the overwhelming and dedicated support primarily of Tejanos and other  music fans in Tejas and other states, Tejano Music in 2006, was  a very productive and successful year.

The Tejano Music Genre was very good for bands, conjuntos, orchestras and other groups. Tejano music managers, promoters, recording companies, video producers, club owners, magazine publishers and other organizations, welcomed and benefited from the steady increase in attendance by Tejano music enthusiast, who  attended concerts, dances, purchased CD's, videos, magazines and other goods. Tejanos and Tejanas were very good for the Tejano music industry .

In 2006, Tejanos and Tejanas once again flew to Las Vegas from all parts of the Continental United States to enjoy an exciting, fun filled Tejano Music Convention. Thousands of Tejanos congregated at a popular Las Vegas hotel, to enjoy a fun filled weekend of Puro Tejano Music entertainment, by top of the line Tejano musicians. Tejanos came to Las Vegas to play and party puro Tejano Style.  I am convinced  promoter Mr. David Chavez and sponsors, certainly appreciated, the Tejanos and  Tejanas, who attended the spectacular event.  Las Vegas, airlines, hotels, Restaurants, auto rentals and others, were very happy to see the return of Los Tejanos.

In Texas, San Antonio was the other city, where Tejanos and Tejanas from other parts of Tejas, the United States and the world came to party in 2006.  Every year in March, Texas Talent Musicians Association holds it's annual Tejano Music Fan Fair.  The party kicks off with The Tejano Music Awards.  A night, where Tejano music musicians are recognized for their exceptional contributions to the unique Tejano  Music Genre.  Tejano music bands, conjuntos, orchestras and other groups,  entertained  thousands of Tejanos and other visitors, who flock around three main stages to listen,dance and enjoy, absolutely the best Tejano Spanish Music in the World.  This event takes place at San Antonio's world famous market square.  Four days of fun from midday to midnight.  Again thanks to Tejanos and beautiful Tejanitas, who attended, 2006 turned  out to be a great year.

Why has Tejano Music survived?   Because Tejanos will never let it die.
Who has kept Tejano music alive?  One word oops actually two: Tejanos and Tejanas

In 2006 Tejano Pride representatives visited and met with Tejano musicians, promoters, independent Tejano radio stations owners, managers, Tejano music Club Owners, Tejano Music Organizations, Tejano Music shop and store owners, last but not least Tejano Music radio station D.J.'s.  The most important message and request given to each of the above was on behalf of the thousands of Tejanos, who have faithfully supported Tejano Music thru the thick and thin of it's existence.  We asked for a very simply yet most important thing for Tejanos.  Mainly the recognition of thousands of Tejanos and Tejanas in Tejas and other States, who have consistently stood by, supported and through their individual efforts kept Tejano music alive.

We asked and pleaded for them to please mentioned the TEJANOS AND TEJANAS during their promotions, sales and live presentations.  Tejano Pride, humbly but earnestly persuaded that the primary Tejano music fans, the Tejanos, not be taken for granted.  Tejanos and Tejanas it's time to take the credit and stand behind, what so rightfully is ours.  Our Tejano identity, culture and unique heritage. Let us acknowledge, recognize and show appreciation to the thousands of Tejanos and Tejanas, who have faithfully supported and kept our Spanish/ bilingual Texas music style alive. 

While some well known Tejano music vocalists such as Chente Barrera, Jay Perez, Emilio, Mark Ledesma, Shelly Lares, Elida Reyna, Los Garcia Brothers, Ram Herrera, Joe Posada, David Lee Garza, Adalberto of L. Breed and others, have actually mentioned and acknowledge Los Tejanos.........

 To be continued ..... do not miss the rest of the message
