Synopsis
Between Norte o and Tejano Conjunto analyzes the origin, evolution, and dissemination of the norte o and tejano conjunto. This group represents a marginalized local identity that was transformed primarily into an identity of the northeast. It then gave way to the whole of northern M xico and the American Southwest, and was later assimilated internationally as a mainstream genre. This book provides a long-term historic vision of conjunto and the various musical forms it uses, such as polka, corrido, or canci n (song), and, more recently, bolero and cumbia, as well as its transformations and contributions to other musical cultures.
