Does Tejano Music Still Matter to Texans?

Listen Later

It’s now been 30 years since the death of the “Queen of Tejano Music,” Selena Quintanilla-Perez, but her influence on the genre is still enormous. A new documentary about Selena premiered at SXSW, and all episodes have now been released in Texas Monthly’s new podcast, Viva Tejano, which captures the nostalgia and experience of Tejano music. Its host, J.B. Sauceda, tells host Nikki DaVaughn in today’s episode that it’s all evidence that Tejano music is making a comeback.
