Talking to Tex-Maniac made me think, who is you all's personal favorite acordion player and why? Mine it has to Be Tony De La Rosa. Why? Just something about the he played, it was so alegre. No matter if i am down or something he music always makes me what to get up and dance and throw a grito!!! So let's hear from you the fans.
Mine are Paulino Bernal and Oscar Hernandez. Why? well because their music was so complex and is a challenge to learn. For me if it's simple it's to easy.
Hey Lil Leo, thats quite an array of favourite accordionists for a 12 year old. I'm glad to see that the younger generation (i'm 21, LOL) is still embracing conjunto. makes me feel good.
Lil Leo, i have to agree with Vince it's great to see the younger generation into conjunto music. Congradulations and keep squeezing the box! By the looks of your list it seems you have great taste as well.

well heres one that knocks out about half of these guys
ROBERT CASILLAS
his style is original and he plays it smooth. he plays it the way it was originally recorded but add his own flavor 2 it. thats y hes such a great accordion player better than most of these guys that yall are putting on here. hes very very multi-talented also. so he beats everyone out except for the legends.
yah he is good and u say that cuz ur his sister (yes we know its u) but why play everything exact .... everyone plays their own way an thats it ... to me theres no better or anything its the fact that u give it ur best and try hard ... its all corazon ... cuz if it was based on whether ur better than others there wouldnt be many musicians ... its what u feel an what u play ....
Robert Casillas is a tremendous talent. He can play many instruments very well. Yes he can play some songs note for note, but he does have his own style. He is truly part of the future of our genre.
