Tejano Music Legend Flaco Jimenez has passed away

[Roadtrip635]

The master of the Tex-Mex accordion Leonardo "Flaco" Jimenez, whose tradition-drenched sound came to define conjunto or Tejano music of South Texas, has died. Throughout a career that spanned more than 70 years, he carried that sound to an international audience through his work with megastars across genres. He was 86 years old.

I've never heard of him, but I'm glad he seemed to have a good life.

He did some stuff with Augie Meyer and the Sir Douglas Quintet. That's where I remember him from.

R.I.P.

The Texas Tornados, Augie Meyers, Doug Sahm (from Sir Douglas Quintet), Freddy Fender and Flaco....they were a good time
