What I love about social media is the random things that will pop up on your feed. I came across an awesome video on TikTok a couple of days ago of rare footage showing Xelencia performing at the Sun Valley Ranch in Victoria in December 1993.
Everything about this video is fantastic! What I love the most is the old school vibe with those really big and hot par cans for stage lighting. That stage setup back then was considered big time for a Tejano band. And the best part is they sounded fantastic!

My first time seeing Xelencia perform in Victoria was at Roberto's

The first time I saw Xelencia perform in Victoria was at Roberto's Cocktails on Navarro. At the time, his drummer was a 12 or 13-year-old kid by the name of Joey JMZ Jimenez.
Joey was so electric on the drums that I remember his dynamic playing style and the passion in his face while he was playing from that night. I feel that Joey was playing the drums in this video, but I can't really tell. Someone send this to him.
 

Who did you see perform on the Sun Valley Ranch stage?

There were so many great dances and concerts at the Sun Valley Ranch. Check out this clip that we found not too long ago.
