As the prevalence of Latino music has dwindled over the past decades, so too has the presence of clubs and venues that cater to these audiences in Austin.
Ysidro Samilpa of Conjunto Los Pinkys performs during the first day of the 2022 Rancho Alegre Conjunto Festival at Central Machine Works in East Austin. Conjunto Los Pinkys is one of the few local acts that continues to regularly play shows in venues across the city.
These venues hold memories that will forever be tied to the Live Music Capital of the World. Gone too are many of the city’s premier Latin clubs, with some venues limited to a one-off Latin-themed night in the middle of their regular programming. Just a couple blocks down from the Texas Capitol building, in a place where you now can order barbecue with all the fixings, you could hear the accordion stylings of aficionados like Steve Jordan at Club Islas.Farther down Congress Avenue there was more Latin music to be found. Long before its vacant walls were adorned with the words"La reina de la música Tejana" played the venue in February, just a few weeks before her untimely death.
