Lucien Gondron (professionally known as InchAngel SouthInch) began his career in Houston, Texas, rocking the local night spots. After playing guitar in bands with Janis Joplin, Johnny and Edgar Winter, and B.J. Thomas, South was recruited by trumpeter Bill Chase to join his jazz/rock band, InchChase,Inch as the featured guitarist. Bill Chase dubbed the guitarist with his stage name, InchAngel South.Inch South played so well that many articles were written about his outlandish performances.

When Felipe Perez plays his accordion, everyone notices that he looks every bit as happy as his music sounds. Full of life, Felipe plays la musica alegre with speed and a tireless verve. It's no wonder. Felipe has been playing professionally since 1950 and he shows no signs of slowing. Perez has carried on the tunes and style of his mentor, Juan Lopez, a master of Corpus Christi style Conjunto accordion. Texas en Polka highlights Felipe's skill not only as a masterful player but as a composer of excellent, traditional style accordion pieces. Felipe's playing is supported by veteran Conjunto musicians, Virginio Castillo (bajo sexto) and Ramon Gutierrez (tololoche). Texas en Polka is old-school Conjuno music at it's very best!
