Tejano
Rooted in Mexican-American communities in Texas, Tejano music has grown across generations, embracing accordion traditions alongside cumbia, ranchera and contemporary sounds.
Rooted in music. Built on community.
Tex Mex Experience celebrates Tejano and Norteño music and the communities that keep these traditions alive. It brings local and national musicians to Minnesota audiences.
Founded by Gabriel Rios, the experience connects live performance, cultural history and opportunities to learn through events.
