"Puro Conjunto" is a good introduction to the people who make this music with particular emphasis on the accordion and bajo sexto used in conjunto groups. Particularly enlightening are the detailed discussions about the interrelation between different yet overlapping classifications of music and songs in South Texas and Northern Mexico, as well as the changes in instruments and styles that have occurred since the emergence of conjunto music in the 1930s. There is a substantial amount of information on the evolution of the accordion and the different types that have been and still are being used. There is also at least one good writeup on the specifics of the bajo sexto (twelve-string guitar).
