"This item is part of the Folkways archives.  The original liner notes from the LP are included."

Produced by Ben Tavera King. Recorded by Dubby Hankins.

"As boundaries go, the Rio Grande River which separates Texas and Mexico has never been much of a barrier between the two cultures. Daily, thousands of people cross the Rio Grande both legally and illegally. The result is a constant intermingling of cultures. Nowhere is this mixture of cultures as evident as in Tex-Mex music..."
