Misconception of Tejano music.(written in 2012)..

Cchwnn.

Kingsville,tx. Hello again I am Santa Cecilia la que te canta. I am here to try and focus on the misconceptions many have or not know about la onda tejana music. What is about la onda industry que many of tejanos in general are standing on the sideline assumed they understand how it works? Do many tejanos think it’s easy from the outside looking in? or are we blinded by listening and reading and watch other tejanos that actually think they understand the ins and outs enough to pursue the discussion further than others have gone before?

I am sure. That I am  the first to say que our creator has some ideas of what others tell him what they know and think they know about la onda. But We here do understand and we here also might be those that we address as a person who is on the sideline thinking they know the facts and the reasons and solutions to this phenomenon. But sadly we understand que we are wrong in many ways. Really we are, and here is how we came to this conclusion:

It’s a fact that we never leave our home after 8pm regardless what day it is.

 It’s a fact que our creator doesn’t watch tv and even if he wanted, he couldn’t because we don’t have cable, my god how many times can a  person watch RANGO DVD IN A WEEK? Answer chingos.

Its fact que he can’t down load music nevertheless listen to it on the line because we don’t have internet at home.

It’s  fact que his radio can only get a few if any at all radio program, in which the majority of the stations that he does listen are Christian station, in which we pray god forgives!

It’s a fact que all the people que we interview and talk to too on line, we have never met, probably never will.

 It’s a fact que he hasn’t gone to a public dance since last year where his fund raiser turned out to be a disaster, and ruin his career in trying to keep his father and mother scholarship above water.  Which we still owe money to some of the performers.

So it’s easy to say by reading this paper que he don’t know chit about anything nevertheless la onda and how it works.  But we do know que he know that many have benefited, taken advantage, profit, assisted, helped, do good to,  from la onda.

And it’s easy to say que he does know que fundraiser, charity performances, and other organization have collected monies at the cost de la onda. I am sure he knows que those organization, and some other provisions are needed in making many things happen in hood with the help from la onda. 

Now the tolerant attitude and the willingness to judge la onda is really unfair. But the impartial love that many have for la onda will always prevail.  So its easy to say the misconception of  la onda Tejano really lies on the believes that la onda will die one day, which I am sure it won’t as long as we have all of the above and all yet more to come, for the sake of salvaging la onda in its own little ways and those that benefiting from it.

But than what do we know , we are just make believe.
