In the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, McAllen helped birth the recorded Tejano sound through Falcon Records, the label that pressed conjunto and norteño vinyl for decades. The 17th Street Entertainment District now hosts indie rock and Latin pop acts alongside traditional Tejano bands. The Music After Hours series at Archer Park brings free live performances to the subtropical streets. Conjunto is not nostalgia here; it is a living, evolving sound that still defines the Valley's musical soul.
