"Hip music that everybody in the world can relate to, with the traditional conjunto elements," says Texmaniacs leader Max Baca of their Texas Mexican sound. Four masterful instrumentalists—Grammy-anointed bajo sexto player Max Baca, accordionist and Tropa F alumnus David Farías, conjunto tejano veteran bassist Óscar García, and multi-instrumentalist Lorenzo Martínez on drums—breathe new life into the century-old music of the Texas Rio Grande Valley. Their mentor and friend, Tejano accordion great Flaco Jiménez, makes a special appearance.

"Música hip con la que todo el mundo puede identificarse, y con elementos del conjunto tradicional," así dice Max Baca, líder de los Texmaniacs refiriéndose a su sonido México-Tejano. Cuatro maestros - en el bajo sexto y nominado al Grammy, Max Baca, en el acordeón, alumno de la Tropa F, David Farias, en el bajo, el veterano del conjunto tejano, óscar García, y en la batería el multifacético Lorenzo Martínez - inyectan nueva vida a esta música del Rio Grande con 100 años de historia. Su mentor y amigo, el gran acordeonista Flaco Jiménez, hace una aparición especial.
Los Texmaniacs are two-time Smithsonian Folklife Festival participants, performing on the National Mall in Washington D.C., in 2008 as part of the Texas program and again in 2009 as part of Las Américas: Un Mundo Musical.
Borders y Bailes is part of the Smithsonian Folkways Tradiciones/Traditions series of Latino music albums, produced with support by the Smithsonian Latino Center.

The conjunto de arpa grande (big harp ensemble) is the country cousin of the Mexican mariachi. When the mariachi was transplanted to cities and added trumpets in the mid 20th century, the conjunto de arpa stayed home in the towns and on the ranches of rural Michoacán. Its two violins, two guitars, and harp (that doubles as a drum) play driving sones, sentiment-saturated ranchera songs of love, and farcical valonas (poemic narratives), all with a disarming directness that is the hallmark of one of Mexicos bestkept musical secrets. 36-page booklet, photos. 50 minutes.
