Rancho Alegre Conjunto Music Festival Day 2 w/ Los Cucuys de Rodney Rodriguez, Conjunto Impulso de Ernesto Cadena, Flavio Longoria y Los Conjunto Kingz feat. Juanito Castillo, more – Music Calendar

Since 2015, Rancho Alegre has thrown a free, all-ages festival aimed to preserve Conjunto music, the accordion-driven Tejano creation that fuses German polka rhythms with Mexican folk songs. The event’s 10th anniversary touches down at two decidedly East Austin venues: On Friday, Belen Escobedo y Panfilo’s Güera, Conjunto Baraja de Oro, and Los Enmascarados perform at East Cesar Chavez beer hall Central Machine Works, while Rodney Rodriguez, Bobby Salinas, and more perform Saturday and Sunday at the Doris Miller Auditorium, the undervalued Rosewood event center that hosted Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and more Black icons back in the day. – Carys Anderson
