"Devoted to the Southwestern Tejano music scene." The star of this issue is Bobby Pulido, a Tejano singer from Texas. The magazine features a chance to win a trip for two to see Bobby Pulido perform. In 2025, Pulido announced he was running for Senate for Texas’ 15th congressional district as a democrat in the November 2026 election. Another featured artist with a prize give-away through the magazine is Elizabeth Gutierrez y Texas Fire, a band composed of the eponymous singer, Daniel, Damon, Isaac, and Israel Gutierrez, Ray Robler, and Julian Rodriguez. Another story in the magazine boasts that the charity Tejanos for Children founded by Tejano singer Emilio Navaira raised over $40,000. Adjusting for inflation, that is $81,737.32 today.
