Los Pinkys

About

A Texas-style dance band from Austin, Texas that plays down-home conjunto music. The group features Ysidro Samilpa (accordion, vocals), Javier Cruz (electric bass, bajo quinto, drums, MC) Henry Tello (drums) and Bradley Jaye Williams (bajo quinto, vocals, accordion). Dubbed by many as the Buena Vista Social Club of Austin's conjunto music scene, Conjunto Los Pinkys, like the music they create, are a multi-generational, cosmic hybrid of American, European, Mexican, Texan and Tejano musical cultures. The music includes a variety of traditional influences from the Texas-German brass melodies, Czech polka, Polish mazurka and oberek, Spanish pasodobles and poetic verses, plus the flavors of Northern Mexico norteno music, Colombian cumbia and popular American music. With a heavy mix of danceable, polka-beat rancheras, the older musical forms, like classic redovas, valses, shotis (shottische) are also played along side romantic boleros, tropical cumbias and whirling, 6/8 time huapangos.
