The presence in Mexico of transnational criminal organizations, such as Russian and Asian organized crime, was also examined.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN Guadalupe San Miguel, Jr. Musica Tejana: More Than Conjuntos and Orquestas INTRODUCTION Manuel Pena has argued that musica tejana is comprised of two major musical ensembles and their styles, the conjunto and the orquesta.1 These are not the only ones in the community. Others have formed and become dominant at different historical periods in the 20th century. The only ensemble that has survived during this century, however, has been the conjunto. CONJUNTO: TRADITIONAL AND PROGRESSIVE The conjunto originated on both sides of the border and began as a two-person outfit in the 1920s, one played the accordion and the other played a string instrument. Its repertoire, initially, was quite broad and included a host of traditional dances and songs popular throughout 215 Mexico. The conjunto expanded to four persons and four instruments in the post-WWII period.

  • News Item-RIP Ralph Marron
    "The Tejano Community recognizes a true pioneer of Tejano music, the late Mr. Ralph Marron Sr., Leader of the Legendary Saints & Sinners Band." For_Immediate_Release October 16th, 2009 -- Tejano Community The Tejano Community recognizes a true pioneer of Tejano music, the late Mr. Ralph Marron Sr., Leader of the Legendary Saints & Sinners Band. Ralph was born on August 16, 1948 in Houston, TX and passed away Friday, October 9, 2009, after battling complications from pancreatic cancer. In the late 60's, Ralph Marron Sr.(Bass, singer, songwriter) along with his brother Mike Marron Sr. (vocals, guitar ) and friend, Roy Paramo (keyboards) formed a musical group called "The Star Lights" showcasing Tejano and R&B Music. After much success, their sheer passion for Tejano music led the brothers to create a new group in the 70's called "The Saints & Sinners." Tejano was a “new genre” of music that Ralph and his brother embraced, and they were not aware, but they were about to embark on a 40 year plus journey spreading their music to the masses. A Native Houstonian, Ralph devoted many hours of his playing time to churches and charities. Ralph’s Tejano group also performed at countless weddings, quinceaneras, birthdays, anniversaries and political events for people throughout Texas celebrating the roots of Chicano Culture. His group’s first groundbreaking cultural accomplishment was being the first “Tejano Band” to perform at “The Houston International Festival.” The Saints & Sinners also helped popularize local iconic venues in the 70's & 80's such as Party on The Square, Pan America, Golden Fleece, Market Square, Hurricane Club, Stardust Club, Miller Outdoor Theater, Star Dust and the Island Club, drawing thousands of fans.
