And of course this spawned a whole genre of music...

Conjunto (now Tejano) was a mix of Czech-German and Mexican-Texan (Tejano) influences. Throw the eastern Euro accordian in with some guitar and drum and presto! You've got it.

Flaco Jimenez always comes to mind. He alone and with the Texas Tornados.

Great articles on it here:

Close to my home and my heart.

Have fun with it guys.
