The West Key was Poppin’ in December of 1994
One thing, that I love to do is relive that Tejano nostalgia, and here is another story that does that! Some of you don't know, that KLUB used to be a Tejano station, back in the day in Victoria. So you could say Tejano is back home in Victoria. Carlos Guerra 'The Mixmaster' was one of the original DJs at the original KLUB Tejano 1069. and he will be in the studio soon to talk about the original 106.9 crew as well. He also sent me this awesome clipping which brings back mad memories!

Side note, this was the year that Ricardo Castillon signed with Arista Records.Also with Arista was Joel Nava and the Original Border band. You also see Los Amigos on this list, it is so awesome to see the longevity with Los Amigos and now Los Amigos ASG! Grupo Zena with the lead singer Jay Palacios and a shout to George Cavazos! What about Grupo Zena? Also Grupo Tema. Of course, a shout-out to Albert Garcia from Los Amigos, the original group. Victoria has always had an awesome Tejano scene!
Estrella dropped 'La Unica Estrella' back in 1993, so you can just imagine a 'grito' fest. Whatever happened to Grupo Rodeo, those dudes were awesome, especially that one cumbia, 'Esta Vez' Who do you remember seeing live at The West Key Lounge? The 90s were a time like no other in Tejano music. A big thanks to Carlos Guerra for the awesome clipping.
