The evening opens at 6 p.m. with Chayito Champion and Keli Rosa Cabunoc, two San Antonio-based artists who joined forces in the Texas Folklife Apprenticeship Program in 2023. Chayito is an acclaimed, worldwide performer as a Flamenco dancer. Keli Rosa Cabunoc is a cultural worker, scholar, and touring musician who has played Son Jarocho, a traditional music from Veracruz, Mexico, for more than 20 years. This unique pairing brings together two musical and cultural worlds that exist within Chicano and Tejano culture.
Max Baca and Los Texmaniacs are the past, present, and future of Conjunto music. Combine Tex-Mex Conjunto, Texas rock, blues, and R&B riffs, and you’ve got GRAMMY® award-winning Los Texmaniacs groove. Los Texmaniacs are the new worldwide kings of Texas Roots music, feeding the masses with only the best in musical fare, from a wide-ranging experience touring and recording with Flaco Jimenez of Texas Tornados fame, Los Super Seven, and even the Rolling Stones.
