Conjunto is a unique form of Texas-Mexican, or Tejano, music that utilizes the German button accordion and Spanish/Mexican bajo sexto guitar as its principal instruments. A hybrid border tradition that is now over 100 years old, Tejanos have created an original American musical ensemble and style of music that combines European polkas and waltzes with indigenous huapangos and African-influenced Colombian cumbias, boleros, country music, blues, rock and jazz.
