Mingo Saldivar is one of the great artists and champions of the accordion-driven Texas border music called conjunto, a truly American creation that brings together influences from traditional Mexican styles, country music and even German polka! Mingo's soulful vocals tell stories of heartache and hard times, a bittersweet counterpoint to the joyful sounds of these rancheras (polkas), corridos (ballads) and cumbias. Capping a career that has brought conjunto music from the dancehalls of San Antonio to Carnegie Hall and to five continents, Mingo Saldivar is a 2002 winner of the National Heritage Fellowship award. Produced by Mingo Saldivar and Rick Garcia.
