Smithsonian Folkways artists win GRAMMY award

Smithsonian Folkways Recording artists Los Texmaniacs received a GRAMMY award for their album Borders y Bailes in the Tejano Album category. This is the group’s first GRAMMY win. The Texas-Mexican conjunto band, armed "with an assortment of Tex-Mex beats infectious enough to get even the most sedentary crowd moving" (Washington Post), produced an album that breathes new life into the century-old music of the Texas Rio Grande Valley. Congratulations to Los Texmaniacs, and everyone at Smithsonian Folkways.
