ADIOS FLACO JIMENEZ!
HOMAGE TO A TEX-MEX ACCORDION GIANT BY HIS BRIXTON BLUES AMIGO DAVE PEABODY
The King of Tex-Mex with his bright smile and diatonic accordion.
Flaco Jimenez left this world on July 31st aged 86. I think its fair to say that Flaco was the foremost player of accordion in the Mexican/Texas border style known as “conjunto”, “norteno” and “tejano”. Or, to Anglos, as Tex-Mex.
