Tejano, Hip Hop, Funk, and the future of Latin music - they all come together in Austin, Texas' Adrian Quesada. In some respects, he might be seen as a successor to the late Sir Doug Sahm. He is the guitarist and prime mover in the 10-piece, award winning, Latin orchestra Grupo Fantasma. A group that might be best known as a favorite of Prince, having played backing band to him on many occasions. He also finds time to play with the latin-funk instrumental ensemble Brownout. And he has done it all without major label backing. Host David Brown explores what make Adrian Quesada one of Austin's Aces. This program is a production of the award-winning Texas Music Matters team at KUT
