Bastrop Wildfire Fundraiser for Valdez family a success

Gilbert Rivera, on the far right, is one of the fundraising coordinators and event planners. Raul Valdez is holding his granddaughter and wife, Alma is in turquoise, accompanied by two of their daughters and one grandson (unfortunately covered by the music stand as they stood on stage).

Susan Torres y Conjunto Clemencia performed during the Raul Valdez fundraiser. The talented musicians based in Austin got the evening started at 5pm and attendees at the event were spinning on the dancefloor in no time.




Conjunto Atzlan based in San Antonio and has an Austin connection with Austin based musicians, Clemencia Zapata and J J Barrera, kept up the conjunto sounds. Tejeda (accordeon) shouted from the stage, "Get up and dance! This is not a concert!" as he fanned the fire to the already hot ambiente at Jovita's that evening.




J J Barrera and fellow musician add to the lively conjunto beat!
