Grammy Award-winners Los Texmaniacs are the new kings of Tex-Mex. Annointed by Flaco Jimenez, Los Texmaniacs feed the masses with only the best in musical fare. Founded by Max Baca (bajo sexto, vocals) the Texmaniacs are a product of his wide-ranging experience touring and recording with Flaco Jimenenz, the original Texas Tornados, Los Super Seven, and even the Rolling Stones.
Max Baca has participated on eleven Grammy-winning projects and is the premiere first call bajo sexto player in the world.
Like a great salsa, the Texmaniacs mix the simplest yet finest ingredients of Texas music to create a sound solidly rooted in tradition, exploding with contemporary vitality. Texmanics versatility has led them to performances all over the world.
Max is a legend on the bajo sexto, a twelve string guitar-like instrument that customarily provides rhythm accompaniment for the button accordion and creates the core of the conjunto sound. On the bajo Max does all that and way more; using the instrument to push the Texmaniacs sound to another level of vibrancy altogether. He has displayed a musical virtuosity and blistering guitar riff solo style that is now being emulated by young bajo players internationally. Max is being credited as turning the traditional folk/roots/conjunto instrument hip again; attracting young, new audiences while maintaining his roots in traditional conjunto. His many sojourns as a lifelong musician have resulted in an impressive international touring schedule, including four tours to Iraq, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Kosovo to entertain our troops. Max has appeared on national television programs such as Conan O' Brien, David Letterman, Jay Leno, and Austin City Limits. Max has also bee featured in several PBS documentaries such as Songs of the Homeland, American Roots Music, and Latin Music USA.
