conjuntos originated there. Conjuntos were any groups that played Mexican music but with a accordian, bajo sesto etc... Rocky was one of the forunners of the horn band playing Tejano music. Very different in it's own make up. Sure there were other bands with horns at that time like Isidro Lopez to name one but theirs was in a big band set up much like the "Big Band" era in the 1940's with the Benny Goodmans etc. Tejano had a very unique set up in that it was a scaled down version of the big bands but, with the music of the Tejanos like Little Joe and the Latinaires (may not have spelled that right). No one seems to make that distinction. Rocky was one of the very first groups to bring the Tejano sound at that time to the West Coast along with Little Joe who may have been the very first one when he was recording with Zarape Records. Anyway why I got off on that trip I don't know just thought you would like to know. Rocky gave alot to the Tejano sound and it's beginnings and, has never been given credit for it. Thank you for putting all this together for him.
