WHEREAS, The House of Representatives of the State of Texas |
|
|
takes pleasure in recognizing the Tejano Gold Countdown radio |
|
|
program; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Broadcasting across the United States, northern |
|
|
Mexico, and beyond since it launched in 1996, the program is |
|
|
produced by National Hispanic Syndicated Radio, a small |
|
|
organization based in South Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Today, Tejano Gold is the leading nationally |
|
|
syndicated bilingual radio show that highlights the indigenous |
|
|
Texas genre known as Tejano music; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This culturally rich program is aired by some 135 |
|
|
affiliate radio stations and is increasingly popular among overseas |
|
|
soldiers and listeners in European countries, who can access the |
|
|
program online; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The show's hosts interview the most popular |
|
|
musicians and producers of the moment and give a voice to |
|
|
up-and-coming Tejano artists; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, More than just a musical format, Tejano Gold exposes |
|
|
its listeners to the essence of Tejano culture, which encompasses |
|
|
an entire ethos that is specific to South Texas, and it is indeed |
|
|
fitting to recognize this outstanding program for its far-reaching |
|
|
cultural impact; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the ongoing success of the Tejano |
|
|
Gold Countdown radio program; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the program's staff as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
