Tejano music

And

I'm here because I'm spending time with Tejano superstar Bobby Pulido.

I'm going to go

in there and start by singing Hermoso Cariño.

I have family members that voted red and voted for Trump before.

We've just stopped talking to each other, you know, and I just think we need to start talking to each other again.

So can a Tejano superstar really flip this congressional seat in South Texas? And what does a moderate Democrat on the border really stand for? From Futuro Media, it's Latino USA.

I'm Maria Hinojosa.

I mean, I think that he was more into doing the kinds of music, when he lived in Madison after James Brown, that anybody, like there was multiple different genres of music happening in Madison.

There was jazz, there was rock, blues, Tex-Mex music, country even, and anybody who would ask him to play with them, he basically did, and he would just adapt to whatever kind of music that was.

He said one time he was more proud of bringing R&B to southwestern Wisconsin than to what he did with James Brown.

Really?

So for him, it was all about creating a groove that the other musicians could shine in.

He...

Chris Plata, who was in the band, Tex-Mex band that he was in in Madison, told me that he phrased him one time about, you know, that's really great what you're coming up with.

And he just said, oh, stop talking about it.

Sí, le, le-

Un escenario tejano

...hubo buena música

It was kind of cool.

And Bobby is one of the most fascinating stories of, I think, the entire midterm cycle.

And Bobby is a Tejano music star.

And that is the kind of particular style of South Texas music that is a blend of kind of country and pop and, you know, in Spanish.

And Bobby had a hit song in the 1990s.

This makes me sad just even reading this.

In 1995, which singer of Tejano music was shot and killed by the ex-president of her fan club?

Salina.

Yeah.

Did I say that right? Tejano? Tejano? I

have no idea.

God, that's such

a sad story.
