Joe King Carrasco, who is known as the king of Tex-Mex Rock n Roll, mixes Nuevo Wavo rock and Latin rhythms. In the 7th grade he started playing in garage bands in the west Texas town of Dumas, Texas. He was often found on the beaches of Mexico, falling in love with the Mexican music. Back in Texas he formed the band Joe King Carrasco and El Molino, which included many of the future members of the Texas Tornados. He released “Tex-Mex Rock & Roll”, his first LP in 1979.

Carrasco was interviewed in Rolling Stone Magazine and appeared on Saturday Night Live. His song Party Weekend was re-recorded by MTV as Party Christmas, and that video is still a popular "share" every Christmas among Facebook fans.

Had no idea he was from Dumas. That's a long way from the beaches. And real close to southeastern Colorado.
