[1]Guadalupe Jamaica 2008
- If you were disappointed that the second-day program for the Fiestas Patrias was cancelled this year, get ready for the Jamaica this Sunday at Nuestra Senora de / Our Lady of Guadalupe [2]. The Hometown Boys [3], who don’t get down this way very often, will play at 6:30, followed by headliners and local favorites Little Joe y La Familia [4] at 8. Admission is just five dollars, starting at noon, free before then. This is a great even for children. There’s music all day, plus food, raffles, games, and more.
- There will be another jamaica on Saturday, this one at San Jose [5], just off South Congress. There will be food, games, prizes, and music. I know that one band will be coming up from San Antonio, but I haven’t been able to find any posters about the event; I’ve just heard about it on the radio, and the parish’s Web site [6] is temporarily down.
- Tejano radio [7] KTXZ 1560-AM is at last simulcasting on the FM dial at 95.1, a boon for those who’ve been having trouble with reception on the AM band.
- Also up this week is Hacienda Radio [8], streaming courtesy of the fabled Texas recording label [9] with its long list of famous artists [10]. Listeners have a choice of Tejano, conjunto, Mexican popular, and cumbia and hip-hop artists.
