Four hundred band directors from across the U.S. and Mexico will be performing together to celebrate music educators during the nationally televised event. Ryan Dufrene is one of them.

After selling out tickets within 70 minutes for its inaugural festival last year, the Latin music festival will be expanding to Austin on March 2.

From Foo Fighters to We Don't Ride Llamas, here's a recap of the annual music festival in photos.

As the prevalence of Latino music has dwindled over the past decades, so too has the presence of clubs and venues that cater to these audiences in Austin.

"El Gato Negro" was born into a family full of musicians and has carried that torch forward for more than seven decades.

Continuing her family's musical lineage, Carrie Rodriguez fuses disparate parts of the sound of Texas in cultivating her uniquely "Ameri-Chicana" vibrations.

Grammy Award-winning bassist Greg Gonzalez is the steady rhythm behind Grupo Fantasma, Brownout and Money Chicha, in addition to his work with countless other artists.

Blend mariachi with the sounds of late '90s pop, add in a powerful voice that would command the attention of any of Austin’s iconic venues, and you'll get Lesly Reynaga. Her first full-length record, Valerosa, was released last month.

Also known as Teresa Nervosa, Taylor went into hospice in 2021. She had lung disease.

As always, several local acts are featured at the festival. This year’s Austin lineup features KUTX April Artist of the month Die Spitz, Caramelo Haze, Shooks and Asleep at the Wheel.
