ResumoIn the second half of the 20th century, Texas-Mexican conjunto music changed from a highly localized and often stylistically stagnant regional genre to an innovative musical style increasingly popular among an international audience. This widespread artistic acknowledgment was largely stimulated by the participation of Flaco Jiménez on Ry Cooder’s Chicken Skin Music in 1976, drawing certain superficial parallels with the following world music movement through the underlying suggestion of inequitable cultural appropriation. However, this case instead demonstrates that the increasing contemporary mixture of cultures, even among socio-economically inequitable groups, can alternatively produce a valuable and mutually advantageous cross-cultural consequence.
