One thing that makes the Kemah Boardwalk so special is its celebration of Tejano culture. Every Sunday night in June and July, they feature Tejano Music Nights, showcasing not only Tejano performances but also Conjunto, Country, and Norteno Cumbia, all rooted in Tejano music.
This past Sunday, however, something extraordinary happened – a new attendance record was set!
Grupo Zenzio Sets New Record at Kemah Boardwalk
Grupo Zenzio took the stage this Sunday at the Kemah Boardwalk and broke an attendance record. According to Jorge Flores, the band’s manager, the crowd reached an impressive 8,000 attendees.
The performance was nothing short of spectacular, with Zenzio delivering their signature high-energy show to an enthusiastic audience. It’s an incredible achievement for a band that started playing at family events back in 2005.
A Powerful Connection with the Younger Generation
What made this Sunday night even more special was the crowd’s energy, especially from the younger generation. Grupo Zenzio’s music, which is rooted in Norteno Cumbia but also carries strong Tejano influences, has captured the attention of younger listeners.
The venue was packed, with people filling every corner of the boardwalk, proving that Tejano music is far from fading away. The next generation of fans is excited and ready to keep the culture alive.
A Family Tradition
Grupo Zenzio’s journey is one of family and tradition. Manager Jorge Flores shared with KLUB Tejano that he grew up listening to iconic Tejano artists like Grupo Mazz and Jaime DeAnda, and has passed on that love of music to his children.
In fact, many members of the group are his family, with his wife handling all bookings and business affairs. It’s a true family operation, and their success is a testament to their passion and hard work.
The Kemah Boardwalk Experience
On Sunday night, the Kemah Boardwalk was alive with the sounds of Zenzio, and it’s clear the community is embracing their Tejano roots.
The show’s huge success is a reminder of how music can bring people together, and how the next generation is keeping Tejano music vibrant and thriving. The event has become a highlight of the summer for locals and visitors alike, with Grupo Zenzio leading the way.
