Twenty top recording artists will headline the 2007 National Tejano Music Convention & Awards presented by AARP.
The three day event scheduled for August 17-19 at the Las Vegas Hilton attracts more than 5,000 Tex-Mex music fans and industry representatives. Now in its fourth year, the National Tejano Music Convention & Awards serve as a “meeting ground” in advancing the Tejano (Tex-Mex) music genre.

Convention highlights include seminars and workshops for artists, management, and fans; a TejanoExperience Expo & Fanfare uniting artists with their respective national fan base; a master-class series inviting musician’s to pick-up “tips of the trade” from renowned artists; and the nightly concerts/dances showcasing the industry’s “best of the best” recording artists in a Vegas-style extravaganza.

In 2007, the Convention will present the Tex-Mex Special Achievement Awards honoring lifetime & pioneering accomplishments, non-performing significant contributions, and humanitarian efforts in the Hispanic community. “The Convention is the collective voice of the music; a unifying force joining both fans and industry leaders while promoting the rich variety, artistic value, cultural and historical significance of Tex-Mex music,” said David Chavez, Founder and Executive Producer.

Scheduled performers include: East LA’s Los Lobos, considered by critics to be one of the greatest live acts in rock music history. The band returns to their Mexican-American roots with a set dedicated to the Tex-Mex musical influence in the U.S.

Also performing is Chente Barrera y Taconazo, 2007 Grammy Award recipient for Best Tejano Album; five time Grammy and Latin Grammy Award recipient Jimmy Gonzalez Y Grupo Mazz; Two time Grammy Award recipient Bob Gallarza presenting the acclaimed vocalist Jimmy Edward; Tejano and Conjunto pioneer Esteban Jordan; Tejano superstars Ram Herrera, Los Desperadoz and Joe Posada featuring Leslie Lugo; top female vocalist Shelly Lares; the reunions of Grammy and Latin Grammy Award recipient Sunny Sauceda with Eddie Gonzalez and Dee & Delia of Culturas; Rebecca Valadez; Hugo Guerrero; La Tropa F; and Jesse Serrata with special guest Cha Cha Jimenez.

The Convention will be hosted by comedian Alex Reymundo, one of the “Original Latin Kings of Comedy,” who is scheduled to debut on the Showtime Network in his first one-hour comedy special, Alex Reymundo’s “HICK-SPANIC: Live in Albuquerque.” The special premiers Saturday, March 3 (8pm ET/PT). Reymundo is also to star in a Showtime comedy series project, as well as host the upcoming comedy specials, “The Latin Divas of Comedy” and “The Payaso Comedy Slam.” Currently performing on a 25-city nationwide tour, Reymundo, a Texas native, brings to the Tejano Convention the humor of his blue-collar roots with the perseverance and drive of a Latino immigrant for a clash of cultures which is ultimately hysterical.

Convention sponsors include CMT Television Network, Southwest Airlines, Gibson Guitars, Casino Del Sol, and BNET Radio.com. For registration, agenda and performance schedules, log on to tejanoticket.com or call (913) 397-8850.

2008 CompAz Greer Cabin Trip

Efforts for the 2008 CompAz Greer Cabin Trip are underway. The dates selected for this years trip are April 28th – May 1st.

A Pre-Cabin Potluck Picnic will be held on February 24th from 11:00am – 5:00pm to collect deposit money ($100). If you are planning on going on the trip this year, please bring your deposit money with you.
A few things to remember about this deposit:
- Deposit money collected at this time is used to make our reservation. So, if 4 people give deposit money, I make reservations for 4. If 8 people give deposit money, I make reservations for 8.
- Deposit money given at this time also guarantees you a spot in the “Bed Draw”. While there is always plenty of sleeping options, they are NOT equal. Your deposit puts you in a draw for your choice of sleeping options.
- Most importantly….Deposit money given at this time is NON-REFUNDABLE. I do not keep any of it. I send it all in as deposit for the cabin so we won’t have it to give back to you if later you decide you can’t go.

For more info about the Picnic, click here. It is open to all, so bring the family. If you can’t make the picnic, please arrange to get your deposit to either me or Compa Lou by February 24th.
