Produced weekly Tejano and Conjunto radio program on KOOP Radio. Ours is the only program specializing in these two genres on FM Radio in Austin, Texas. We broadcast music from legendary, veteran and up and coming performers in Conjunto and Tejano music. We started a monthly guest DJ program in November 2015, where listeners brought their own playlists and joined us in the studio. In-kind Volunteer hours for skilled trade: 2 people x 4 hours per week x 52 weeks x generally accepted average volunteer hourly rate ($23.56/hour) = $9800$0$0
Interview trip May 2016. Traveled to Alice, Texas to record interview Armando Hinojosa of Los Fabulosos Cuatro, then to San Antonio to interview Rudy Garcia y Los Godfathers. The interview with Hinojosa, who began his career in Tejano music in his early teens and has grown up along with the genre, yielded many first-person accounts of information that isn't found anywhere. The interview with Rudy Garcia and bandmates was the first ever recorded about his career and showed his independence, style, and history. We broadcasted his interview on our FM radio show and gave him information about how to apply for consideration in the Tejano ROOTS Hall of Fame. His application was approved and he was inducted in January 2017. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 2 people * 48 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $2261.76.$0$90
Interview trip June 2016. Traveled to San Antonio, TX to interview Tejano artist and Grammy Award Winner David Farias. The extended interview was broadcast on KOOP radio in November 2016. Volunteer hours in-kind donation: 2 people * 5 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer ($23.56) = $235.60$0$0
Interview trip August 2016. Traveled to San Antonio, TX to interview Conjunto legend and Grammy Award Winner Flaco Jimenez. His extended interview was broadcast on KOOP Radio in two parts in August and September 2016. Volunteer in-kind contribution: 3 people * 5 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer ($23.56) = $353.40.$0$0
Interview trip to Harlingen, TX. April 2, 2016. We drove to the Rio Grande Valley to interview Tomas Vasquez, the last remaining member of a legendary Conjunto called Freddie Gomez y Los Dinamicos. We broadcasted his interview May 2, 2016 on our radio show. Vasquez was inducted into the South Texas Conjunto Hall of Fame in July 2016. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 2 people * 48 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $2261.76.$0$317
Interview trip to Alice, Texas. February 2016. We attempted to interview a group called Los Nobles, but they were unable to talk with us because their accordionist wasn't feeling well and we couldn't find a quiet location for a quality recording. We recorded some station ID's and rescheduled for another time. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 2 people * 24 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $1130.88.$0$48
Interview trip to San Angelo, Texas, September 2016. We interviewed Tejano music superstar Elida Reyna after trying for several years without success due to scheduling difficulties. The interview will be broadcast January 23, 2017 on our FM radio show. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 3 people * 10 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $706.80.$0$0
Interview with Jessy Serrata, June 2016 in Austin. Recorded an excellent interview with veteran Tejano singer Jessy Serrata where he describes his experience and career over 50 plus years. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 2 people * 3 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $141.36.$0$0
November 2015 - organized benefit for Austin Tejano musician Paquito Rodriguez. We managed the stage and coordinated the entire event, ultimately raising several thousand dollars for the family. Unfortunately, he lost his battle in January 2016. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 2 people * 33 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $1554.96.$0$0
March 2016 - emceed Austin's Panamericana Festival latin music showcase at the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center. Recorded station identification drops from the various performers and connected those who were outside our genre with other programs on our community radio station. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 2 people * 8 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $376.96.$0$0
January 2016 - Interview with Los Thunderbirds in Austin. We recorded an interview with all the band members, who made a special trip to Austin from San Antonio just to talk to us. We broadcasted their interview in March 2016. Before their interview aired, they were unknown in Austin. Since the broadcast, they have been in demand and have had several public and private performances. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 2 people * 4 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $188.48.$0$0
May 2016 - Emceed the Big Squeeze Accordion Contest event, presented by Texas Folklife, at the Bob Bullock Museum in Austin. The free, family-friendly event crosses all demographics and features polka, conjunto and zydeco/cajun styles. The mission of Texas Folklife is similar to ours, though much more broad, so we tend to collaborate frequently on projects with shared interests. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 2 people * 5 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $235.60.$0$0
June 2016 - Emceed accordion gathering for the Central Texas Accordion Association. While this organization tends to focus more on czech and German polkas, there are a couple of members who do play conjunto and their membership is interested in learning more about it. Three of the club members, including former Austin mayor Gus Garcia, came to the KOOP studio to perform live on air before the event. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 1 person * 7 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $164.92.$0$0
October 2015 - Interview with BJ Moncivais of Valmon Records in Austin. Moncivais was in town from Denver, Colorado, and sat down with an interview about his father's record label, the legendary Valmon Records. Not much is documented about this label and his father died a couple years before the interview. The label was one of the first independent Chicano music labels in Texas and worked to make quality recordings for artists who just needed a chance. One of those groups was Little Joe Hernandez and his brothers from Temple, TX, Little Joe & the Latinaires. Joe rocketed to Tejano superstardom and legendary status. We broadcasted the Valmon Records interview a couple days later in October 2015. Valmon has since been attempting to reissue and restore the recordings they have on vinyl. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 1 people * 10 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $235.60.$0$0
July 2016 Interview with Michelle, CEO of Corpus Christi-based Hacienda Records. Michelle was in town and met with us to discuss her solo career and also her new role as CEO of the legendary Tejano label, Hacienda Records. We broadcasted this interview in August 2016 before a showcase of the record label's new artists in Austin. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 2 people * 3 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $141.36.$0$0
July 2016 interview with Houston's Monico Cortez II in New Braunfels. Cortez was at a venue south of Austin and we took the opportunity to meet up with him and learn about his career, inheriting his family's musical legacy (Los Hermanos Cortez). Interview has not yet been broadcast and will be aired in tandem with his new album. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 2 people * 5 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $235.60.$0$0
November 2015: Live in-studio interview with Steve Rat Silvas, Erika Santana and Robby Garza of local group CaƱonazo in Austin. The group had just released their first album and the duet of Garza and Santana with the direction of Tejano veteran arranger Silvas was beginning to get noticed outside Austin. The group went on to be nominated for several awards and perform at various events outside Austin and continues to do so. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 1 people * 2 hours * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $47.12.$0$0
Digital conversion and restoration of hundreds of rare analog recordings and their artwork. Tejano and conjunto music are famously regional music forms, and as such, were recorded on very small independently-owned record labels. In many cases, the masters were lost and the only recordings are in obsolete media such as vinyl, 8-track and cassette. We record the music from the original, digitize and clean them up and save them. Additionally, we photograph and restore the accompanying artwork, if any, since much of the documentation for this music is only found on the vinyl record sleeves or liner notes. Volunteer hour in-kind contribution value: 2 people * 21.48 hours per week (average) * 50 weeks * generally-accepted hourly rate for skilled volunteer work ($23.56) = $50607.84.$0$0
