                      Description
                    
                    Recorded live at the 1998 16 de Septiembre Conjunto Festival of the Narcisco Martinez Cultural Arts Center in San Benito, Texas, these powerful recordings reveal the historical roots of conjunto and show new directions taken by some conjunto bands today. This lively dance music, played by some of conjunto's best-known performers, features accordions, bajo sexto and stirring vocals. This album won 2001 South Texas Conjunto Association Conjunto of the Year Awards: Album of the Year. 36-page booklet with English translations of Spanish song texts, photographs, maps. Produced in collaboration with the Narciso Martinez Cultural Arts Center, with the support of the Harlingen Area Chamber of Commerce.
