Tejano-Conjunto Explosion was
awesome
Over 1,000
Tejano fans were entertained on May 27, 2007 at the 4th
Annual Midwest Tejano-Conjunto Explosion, presented by M &
M Productions at Centennial Terrace in Sylvania, Ohio.
Sylvania is a
stone-throw from Toledo, when one travels north towards Michigan. |

M & M stands
for Mark (García) and Mike (Avina)—or is it Mike and Mark? Well,
it really doesn’t matter, but what does matter is that Mark and
Mike have hosted several events per year for several years now, to
promote Tejano and Conjunto music throughout the Midwest.
They hooked up
with BNetRadio (www.BNetRadio.com)
by inviting Bob Olivo to return to his native Ohio. Olivo was
raised in Ottawa, Ohio and was involved in Tejano music since
youth, being part of Eddie Olivo y Los Impactos and
Bobby Romero’s band (Leipsic); he was a DJ at BGSU 88.1FM.
Olivo moved to
Houston in 1989 to be the Latin music buyer for Southwest
Wholesale. Olivo also writes music—for Tejano greats such as David
Lee Garza y Los Musicales, David Marez, and Fama.
Olivo has been Webcasting with BnetRadio for four years. BnetRadio
was feature in La Prensa’s story BNetTejano Webcasting:

Olivo and his
co-DJ Lady Di (95.3FM, WQTE, Adrian MI) introduced the
seven talented bands, playing nonstop from 4:30PM till Midnight.
The
bands included: Bobby DeLeón and Mas Caliente de Saginaw, La
Corporación de Lansing, Grupo Sensación de Mt. Clemens, Los Cuatro
Vientos de Jimmy Bejarano de Fremont, Los Carnales (Saginaw),
Futuro Band de Chicago, and Grupo Dezeo de Toledo.
Olivo was also
Webcasting the gig on BNetRadio.
To add spice
to the Memorial Day weekend, M&M Productions also had a pre-party
and after-party at Club Prestige, located in south Toledo.
At the pre-party on Saturday, May 26, 2007, Olivo also broadcast
live from the club, where Sensación was playing.
All in all, an
awesome weekend. Thanks to Mike and Mark, Bob Olivo, and Lady Di.
