Some musicians choose their instrument. David Farias grew up inside his. Raised in San Antonio as part of a family act, he started playing accordion as a child alongside his brothers, first as Los Hermanos Farias, then under the name that would define Tejano music for a generation, La Tropa F. The band’s sound, built on the interplay of accordion and bajo sexto that defines conjunto music, carried them to a Tejano Music Award for Best Album of the Year in 1993, cementing Farias as part of one of the genre’s defining family dynasties.

All ages are welcome to compete in our cook off categories: T-Bone Steak, Chili, Beans, Appetizer, Kids Pork Chop, or Cocktail.
