LITTLE JOE Y LA FAMILIA

Little Joe y  La Familia is one of the most popular Tex-Mex bands in the music industry.  Born Jose Maria DeLeon Hernandez, Little Joe has been entertaining for more than 40 years and has been described as the "King of the Brown Sound."  He also helped pioneer "Tejano" music, a mix of traditional norteno music and country, blues and rock styles.
