		Another norteño-derived style is banda, which uses solely brass instruments instead of accordions and guitars.

	Crossing Over
		Selena was well-known (since the age of fourteen) on the Tejano circuit ranging from Texas to Mexico; she also gained fame from her appearances on Univision's "Johnny Canales Show" and other Spanish-speaking media outlets that broadcast her performances to many Latin American markets (Richmond, 1995).
		After years of performing in the honky-tonk clubs of South Texas' Tejano music circuit, her career was soaring: Not only was she the undisputed queen of Tejano, she was emerging as one of the brightest new stars on the Latin pop-music scene...
		As a result, Tejano music, which is the variously-accented expression of a borderland culture, moves from a community-based "inbetween-ness" to the media-hyped, capitalist center-stage as a marketable commodity.

	In Memory Of Selena - The Selena Story
		Where Tejano music's deepest roots are in the bouncy norteño/conjunto polka rhythms popular in Northern Mexico and Texas, Selena y Los Dinos invited listeners to "Baila Esta Cumbia." An Afro-Caribbean cousin to salsa and merengue, cumbia originated in Colombia.
		These videos opened the door for Selena to enter the international Latin market with her own hits, "La Carcacha" and "Como la Flor." While Tejano artists Mazz and La Mafia had toured in Mexico, Selena was the first to truly conquer the huge audience south of the border.
		She was a household name in Mexico and much of Latin America and was on the verge of an unprecedented breakthrough to the English-speaking pop audience.

	The Roots of Tejano and Conjunto Music
		The musical traditions of the Tejanos of South Texas and Norteños of Northern Mexico have been influenced not only by the mother country, Mexico, but also by their Anglo-American, African-American and immigrant neighbors like the Czechs, Bohemians, and Moravians as well as the Germans and Italians.
		The Tejano orchestras, although inspired by the famous orchestras of Mexico, Cuba, and the Anglo world, included in their repertoires the popular folk dances of the region, especially polkas, waltzes, redovas, and rancheras along with the danzones, mambos, boleros and other Latin American dance styles.
		The roots of Tejano and Conjunto music are as widespread and diverse, and run as deep, as the traditions, cultures and people which gave them life.

	UNESCO Courier: Tex-Mex music - Texas-Mexican
		In their preference for a unique folk style which they themselves created, the tejano workers have voiced their most profound cultural and aesthetic identity, embodied in their choice of instruments, genres and styles (all of them of Mexican character), and the appropriate context for their performance.
		The Anglos, and later the upwardly-mobile Texas-Mexicans, were quick to condemn conjunto music.
		In contrast to the conjunto, the orquesta style of music has tended, since the 1920s at least, to be more "respectable" in that it has maintained a strong association with the genteel elements of Texas-Mexican society.

		Tejano music continued its explosive growth in the Southwest with top artists like Mazz, La Mafia, Selena, and Emilio playing stadiums like San Antonio's Alamodome, Houston's Astrodome, Dallas' Texas Stadium, as well as other major venues.
		In 1994 the Tejano Music Awards, which recognize the best in Tex-Mex, moved into the Alamodome.
