We are so happy to announce our Spring and Summer event season, which includes our First Sunday Conjunto Tardeada Series at One-2-One Bar beginning March 3rd and the 6th Annual Rancho Alegre Conjunto Music Festival, which takes place May 3-5 at The BARn and Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater.
We are very excited to announce our participation in this year's AmplifyATX giving campaign. We join hundreds of nonprofit organizations in the Austin area with the goal of raising money for all the great organizations in our city and also to make Austin one of the most generous cities in the nation.
Humilde Corazones is the second studio studio effort from Rio Grande Valley-based Gilberto "Chore" Perez Jr y Su Conjunto. Among the ten solid, hardcore Conjunto tracks are three original compositions by Gilberto Jr ("Dame Otra Oportunidad," "Luz Perlita" and "Estrellitas Caen Del Cielo") and two from longtime friend and collaborator Julian Garcia ("Hay Veces Que Nada El Pato" and "El Sueño de Julian").

In the middle of their set on Saturday May 19th at the 2018 Tejano-Conjunto Festival in San Antonio, Ricky Naranjo y Los Gamblers were awarded with a gold record “to commemorate certified gold sales of more than 500,000 copies of the Latin World Records world wide release of Lo Mas Caliente,” released in 2017. KEDA’s Nelda Saenz introduced Julie Rodriguez of Latin World Records, who presented the award along with Frank Fierro of XtremeTejano.com. The band smiled, the crowd of thousands cheered. Photos were taken. Rodriguez posted her own photos all over Facebook, receiving congratulatory comments and likes.
