Tex-Czech Polkas -- Play Me a Polka

The music of Bohemians, Czechs, Slovaks and Moravians who settled in south central Texas is lively music from central Europe with a Texas flair. The first settlers arrived in Texas almost 150 years ago and they have maintained a strong cultural cohesion, while adapting to new influences. These recordings, drawn from recent years, typify the very active and vital dance music scene of today.
