Wayo’s family owned and operated The Alaska nightclub, one of the border’s hottest nightspots. LDdN was a fixture in the Mcallen/Reynosa scene during the late 60s and early 70s.
This dynamic created a vibrant north Mexico border scene who’s artists served as musical ambassadors to the rest of Mexico, oftentimes going on to bigger success in Mexico nationally. Bands such as Los Johnny Jets, Los Yaki, Las Hermanas Jimenez & La Division Del Norte could be found all along the border towns playing a mixture of originals along with many rock and roll refritos. The Inkeeper Band, Our Generation & SCAM provide a window into a different scene and a different world happening in McAllen at the same time.Īt the same time the Mexican side of the border had the actual venues for local musicians to ply their trade. Motown influenced kids from the Southside would cycle through the same venues brining a distinctly different sound. Bands such as The Headstones, Christopher and the Souls & The Playboys of Edinburg played church dances, street dances and the Civic Center. McAllen saw a distinct Northside sound emerge that was more influenced by the British Invasion. On the American side of the border cities were usually divided racially and economically by the railroad tracks. The Valley saw three distinct musical scenes emerge. Life along the border was peaceful but it was grappling with the same racial and economic issues that plagued the deep south elsewhere. This was a generation steeped in change, complexity and modernity. Some of the rarest of collector’s items are the famed Pharaoh Records 45s recorded at Jimmy Nicholls’ studio in McAllen. The 60’s era of the Valley produced some of the most beautiful music on this soundtrack.
