Many people associate Tejano music with Selena, but the Texas-based genre has roots that stretch back decades. It began in northern Mexico, evolving in Texas in the mid-19th century with German, Polish, and Czech influences. Later, brass horns, pianos, and organs were added, plus American jazz. #TejanoMusic #TexasMusic #Selena #MusicHistory #Accordion #Norteño | Chicano Story Project
