[@stevemike1984]

Could have done without the commentary

[@vjduranacosta]

Commentary was neccesary to state the importance of the contribution of the Tejano conjunto style. Los músicos actuales de México deberían revisar sus temas y re evaluar la importancia de hacer algo por rescatar la música antigua que son sus orígenes.

[@stevemike1984]

@@vjduranacosta I understand and appreciate that believe me. I just don't like that it's over the music. Do it at the beginning or the end of the song. No big deal though. It is the Smithsonian so I should have expected it.
