Conjunto Los Pinkys

Ever wondered what Austin's East Sixth Street was like in the 1950's? Isidro Samilpa and Chencho Flores are two musicians from Austin's Chicano music scene whose careers started there--and are still thriving with weekly performances in the same area!
Along with Javier Cruz (bass), Clemencia Zapata (drums), Bradley Jaye Williams (bajo quinto, accordion, voz) these five make up Conjunto Los Pinkys, a traditional "conjunto" band founded in 1991. Conjunto is a Texas-Mexican style dance music which features the button accordion and bajo sexto. According to their Facebook page, "Many international and regional musical styles are represented in conjunto music, including the influence of the Spanish, German, Polish and Czech, American popular music, Mexican-Norteño ranchera, Colombian cumbia, waltz, redova, shotis, huapango, bolero, mambo and country two-step."
