	Tejano music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tejano (Spanish for "Texan") or Tex-Mex music is the various forms of folk and popular music originating among the Mexican-descended Tejanos of Central and South Texas.
		Central to the evolution of early Tejano music was the blend of traditional Mexican forms such as the corrido, and Continental European styles introduced by German and Czech settlers in the late 19th century.
		In particular, the accordion was adopted by Tejano folk musicians at the turn of the 20th century, and it became a popular instrument for amateur musicians in Texas and Northern Mexico.

	El Saxofon in Tejano and Norteno Music
		There were addressed in the brief narrative tracing the chronology of the saxophone in both norteño and Tejano musical traditions from the 1920s to the present.
		The evidence shows that the recorded introduction of the saxophone in Tejano and norteño conjunto music during the 1940s and 1950s was not only eminently popular at the time, but an innovation that continues resonating musically among younger and older generations of Mexicans and other along and across the borderland, with two lasting results.
		Whether you call it "progressive conjunto" as do the Tejano Music Awards and Pura Vida Music Awards, or "conjunto orquestal" as does Juan Tejeda; the point is that there is abundant evidence of an increase in this type of musical melding, especially since the beginning of the present postmodern music period.

		Both mariachi and Tejano styles usually stick to classic folk instruments, but some modern artists infuse their recordings with U.S. pop-production techniques.
