he 29th Annual Narciso Martinez Cultural Arts Center Conjunto Festival will once again delight the people of the RGV and beyond. We are looking forward to a weekend of music, dancing, and great camaraderie. Our event is the longest running musical festival in the RGV that is unique and rich in tradition. The Conjunto Festival is an event that continues to work towards the presentation and preservation of a genre of music that is over 100 years old and created by Don Narciso Martinez, the Father of Texas Mexican Conjunto Music. We are thankful to every one of our supporters over the 31 years of the founding of the Narciso Martinez Cultural Arts Center. We are grateful to the City of Los Fresnos, the Los Fresnos Community Development Corporation, and the Los Fresnos Chamber of Commerce for all their support. It is critical to continue with the Conjunto Festival because it represents a historical experience in the birthplace of Conjunto. The Narciso Martinez Cultural Arts Center welcomes all the visitors to the City of Los Fresnos, Texas and the 29th Annual Conjunto Festival.
Rogelio T. Nunez IR E C TO T he Narciso Martinez Cultural Arts Center is an organization dedicated to the preservation, promotion and development of the rich cultural heritage of the Mexican American community which includes visual arts, music, theater, dance and literary works. Narciso Martinez was born on October 29, 1911 in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico and lived most of his life in La Paloma, Texas, passing away on June 5, 1992.
The Narciso Martinez Cultural Arts Center was named in his honor as the result of his philosophy of being a proud man of Mexican ancestry and working class origins, a man of the people who over the years gave of himself and his musical talents so that others could enjoy his contributions: a man who was willing to share his rich musical and Texas-Mexcian border experience.
