"Two of the greatest living legends of Tex Mex/conjunto music will be joining forces - again - for Saluté's annual holiday show.Los Texmaniacs leader Max Baca (bajo sexto) and accordion hero Flaco Jiménez (Texas Tornados) have six Grammys between them (five for Flaco alone), and for Baca this is more than just a show.
"He's my mentor, and I always enjoy playing with him," said Baca, who met and started playing with Flaco at an early age. "He has the key to the soul of conjunto music." We wish we could tell you the exact lineup for this show, but the show was put together on short notice and all we know (including Baca and Flaco) is that some of the Texmaniacs and special guests will be part of the concert, which finds both men coming off fresh triumphs: Baca's latest (the Smithsonian-released Borders y Bailes) won a Grammy for Best Tejano Album, and Flaco is just back from touring the world with the Tornados behind their own comeback album, ¡Está Bueno!
