      In the world of accordion-driven Tejano conjunto music, Flaco Jiménez and Max Baca are at once pillars of the past and forgers of the future. Legends and Legacies spotlights these larger-than-life artists, each an inheritor of a musical legacy from his father and grandfather, and each a dynamic force of musical genius. This recording captures the essential sounds of conjunto tradition with Flaco’s 3-row button accordion and Max’s deep-pitched bajo sexto. Electric bass and drum kit round out the ensemble. 58 mintues, 44-page booket with bilingual notes and photos.

      Born in 1939 into a line of pioneering accordionists, Flaco Jiménez is arguably the most recognized and acclaimed artist in Tejano and conjunto music, recording dozens of albums and collaborating with such artists as The Rolling Stones, Dwight Yoakam, and Ry Cooder. Max Baca is best known as leader of the band Los Texmaniacs, whose infectious combination of country, rock and conjunto won them a GRAMMY for their 2009 Smithsonian Folkways album Borders y Bailes in addition to a GRAMMY nomination for their follow up Smithsonian Folkways release Texas Towns & Tex-Mex Sounds. Jiménez has won GRAMMYs for his own recordings and for albums with the Texas Tornados.
