Sunny Sauceda—"a rocker trapped in an accordion player's body"—talks about switching genres after forty years in tejano music.

Sunny Sauceda on Finding His Sound Between Tejano and Texas Country

Latin music is ascending in the U.S., and, in some surprising ways, much of the story behind the trend begins in Texas. On Viva Tejano, host J.B. Sauceda talks with legendary tejano artists and well-known tejano music fans about how the music has shaped their lives. It’s a nostalgic journey and a close look at the influences behind many of today’s biggest acts in música Mexicana.
