CONJUNTO LOS PINKYS TEXAS-STYLE CONJUNTO MUSIC
Conjunto Los Pinkys have been performing Texas-style conjunto music since 1992. Over the years, they have played at numerous events- festivals, jamaicas, cantinas, clubs, flea markets and dancehalls all across Texas and around the United States. They've worked in the small cantinas that once filled Austin's East Sixth Street; places like Happy Day's Lounge #2, La Bola de Oro, La Esquina Lounge and also venues on the south side- Jovita's, Little Mexico Restaurant, The New Chaparral, Antone's and The Continental Club. The group has had the honor of performing at the Tejano-Conjunto Festival en San Antonio (three times), Accordion Kings in Houston, The Narciso Martinez Conjunto Festival en San Benito (twice), The Johnstown Folk Festival in Johnstown, PA, The San Jose Flea Market (CA) and El Dia De Los Muertos celebrations in Birmingham, Alabama- five times alongside Susan Torres and Flaco Jimenez.
Inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame in 2015, the band features veteran accordionist and singer, Ysidro Samilpa, who has been performing in Austin since the 1950's with numerous groups like El Conjunto Corona de Senon Reyes, Joe Palacios Y Los Diamantes, Los Cuatro Nacionales and his brother-in-law's group, Shorty and the Corvettes.
The group features Ysidro Samilpa (accordion, vocals), Javier Cruz (electric bass, bajo quinto, drums, MC) Henry Tello (drums) and Bradley Jaye Williams (bajo quinto, vocals, accordion),
