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, and add a daring dash of well-cured blues and R&B riffs, and you’ve cooked up the tasty Grammy-winning Los Texmaniacs groove. Baca is a legend on the bajo sexto, a twelve-string guitar-like instrument which is vital for the true Tex-Mex Conjunto sound.

Los Texmaniacs are the new worldwide kings of Texas Roots music, feeding the masses with only the best in musical fare, cooked up from a wide-ranging experience touring and recording with Flaco Jimenez of Texas Tornados fame, Los Super Seven, and even the Rolling Stones. While Max Baca has participated in eleven Grammy-winning projects, the band themselves won their first Grammy in 2010 and a nomination in 2019 for their Smithsonian Folkways recording, Borders y Bailes, which features Lyle Lovett and Rick Trevino. 

Baca, who was born and raised in Albuquerque, is the author of Crossing Borders: My Journey in Music, which tells the story of his extraordinary career.

Like her cousin Linda Ronstadt, Mexican-American vocalist and singer-songwriter Lisa Morales and her sister Roberta grew up in a musical family in Tucson, Arizona, learning to perform traditional Mexican music while developing broad-ranging musical taste prior to moving to Texas. Lisa's performances move back and forth effortlessly between Spanish and English lyrics and styles—she is truly a force in either world, and the larger bicultural Hispano-Americana realm that embraces them both. Her live performances are a testament to her authenticity, her heritage, and her enduring creative fire.
