The group headlining Go Tejano Day may be unknown to some but it has been making a big impression in the Tejano scene.
When the RodeoHouston lineup was announced, one of the most common questions was,"Who is La Fiera de Ojinaga?"
The band playing Go Tejano Day is a new name to some. But even a cursory search shows them to be a well-established group, and Go Tejano Day always draws one of the biggest crowds. La Fiera de Ojinaga formed in 2012 in Chihuahua, Mexico. The band is considered one of the leaders of the norteño-with-sax sound, part of the regional Mexican format. Norteño originated in rural areas and is typified by the use of accordion and bajo sexto. It's heard everywhere from house parties to weddings. Norteño-with-sax incorporates the saxophone as a primary instrument. It is sometimes accompanied by an electronic keyboard.
The group found an early supporter in La Maquinaria Norteña, who played RodeoHouston in 2015. La Maquinaria Norteña invited La Fiera de Ojinaga to join them on tour and record together. La Fiera de Ojinaga signed to Azteca Records in 2013, the same label as La Maquinaria Norteña. The group has scored a dozen hits on the Billboard chart. In August, they earned their first No. 1,"La Luna de Miel," on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart. Other popular songs include"No Paras de Hacerme Feliz" and"La Boca Les Callamos."
