Tejano conjunto) Popular music genre originally from southern Texas, which has some similarities to the Mexican norteño, but is also influenced by several American musical genres and in particular features elements of polka. The basic duo of accordion and bajo sexto (12-string bass guitar) has grown to include other instruments (drum kit, bass guitar, etc.) but these two instruments still characterize the sound of the ensemble. As the repertory has diversified a sub-genre known as 'Tejano music' (which is more rock and pop orientated) has also emerged)
