Tejano music (Spanish: música tejana), also known as Tex-Mex music, is a popular music style fusing Mexican and US influences. Its evolution began in northern Mexico (a variation of regional Mexican music known as norteño).[1][2]
It reached a much larger audience in the late 20th century thanks to the explosive popularity of Mazz, Selena,[3] and other performers like La Mafia, Ram Herrera, La Sombra, Elida Reyna, Elsa García, Laura Canales, Oscar Estrada, Jay Perez, Emilio Navaira, Esteban "Steve" Jordan, Shelly Lares, David Lee Garza, Jennifer Peña and La Fiebre.[4]
