We consider Tejano music like a folk music. It's always been here. It's never changed. It's like country music. But we feel that it's getting stronger now because it's more progressive. Now there's keyboard synthesizers and it's a lot more modern. And I think it's great now because now the young people are turning back to TexMex music and wanting to get more closer to their roots.
