The hottest Tejano band in the Dallas-Ft.Worth metroplex is Stampede. The
band, signed by Sony Discos, is a six-piece outfit that is primed to make a

versatility by mixing covers with its cumbia and ranchera originals.
The band has developed a following in Texas, Michigan, Illinois and New
Mexico and their popularity continues to grow throughout the U.S. Fronted by
