Duelo and Los Horoscopos de Durango have broken the attendance record for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo's Go Tejano Day. The event was held March 16 at Reliant Park.
Related Videos:With a paid attendance of 71,165, according to organizer RodeoHouston, the regional Mexican groups drew in slightly more people on March 16 than previous record-holders Ramon Ayala and Jay Perez. The latter two brought 70,481 people to Reliant Park in 2006. The record-setting Duelo-Horoscopos concert was filmed for live CD/DVDs, which will be released by each group this summer, according to label Univision Records. Go Tejano Day began in 1992. The annual Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has traditionally been one of country music's most important live events, lasting nearly three weeks. This year's bill included such acts as Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Alan Jackson. The lineup also featured Fergie and John Legend, as well as all-time Rodeo attendance record holder Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, who previously drew 73,459 attendees.

They should appreciate what this music is doing opening doors to other latinos! It just shows you how powerful this style of music is and will be forever on! All because Intocable changed the style and now others are following it!

Date: Fri, Mar 21, 2008 03:04:42 PDT You forgot to mention that while the record numbers come from the HoustonRodeo, in actuality Reliant Stadium was half empty in attendance during theDuelo show and thinned out before Horoscopos started. Oh yea, there were 400protester voicing their opposition to the devaluation of Tejano culture andit's traditional music. GO TEJANO DAY without Tejano music on the main stageis like enchilada without chili? No Tejano loyalist is opposed to Duelo orHoroscopos music only Houston Rodeo official who miscalculated the tenacityof a proud Tejano culture. They stood up and made their point clear --change is coming. Let's see which culture the Rodeo tries to exclude from the main stage. VIVE Tejano Submit Your Comments About This Article:
