Tejas Got Soul: Los Monarcas de Pete y Mario Diaz

October 23, 2022

5:00 pm
to

7:00 pm

Discover a uniquely Houston musical legacy created when Tejas met Soul. In the 1960s Houston’s Chicano musicians, inspired by the soul, blues and zydeco traditions of Bayou City, developed a style of conjunto music distinct from the rest of Texas. These free concerts feature bands that exemplify the history and promise of Tejas Got Soul. You may just discover your favorite band. Tejas Got Soul at Discovery Green is made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and funded in part by the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance. 

Los Monarcas de Pete y Mario Diaz – plus Grupo Fuerte 

Through three generations and 35 albums the Diaz family and their foot stomping Conjunto music performances are as strong as ever. Come discover why their fans remain devoted.   Grupo Fuerte is a collection of veteran musicians with more than 200 years of cumulative musical experience.
