Flaco Jimenez, Texas accordionist who expanded popularity of conjunto and Tejano music, dies at 86
HOUSTON (AP) — Flaco Jimenez, the legendary accordionist from San Antonio who won multiple Grammys and helped expand the popularity of conjunto, Tejano and Tex-Mex music, died Thursday. He was 86. Jimenez's death was announced Thursday evening by his family on social media. 'It is with great sadness that we share tonight the loss of our father, Flaco Jimenez. He was surrounded by his loved ones and will be missed immensely. Thank you to all of his fans and friends—those who cherished his music. And a big thank you for all of the memories. His legacy will live on through his music and all of his fans,' Jimenez's family said in a statement. His family did not disclose a cause of death. Jimenez's family had announced in January that he had been hospitalized and had been 'facing a medical hurdle.' His family did not provide any other information on his medical condition at the time. Born Leonardo Jimenez in 1939, he was known to his fans by his nickname of Flaco, which means skinny in Spanish. He was the son of conjunto pioneer Santiago Jimenez. Conjunto is a musical genre that originated in South Texas and blends different genres and cultural influences. According to the Butler School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin, the development of conjunto 'began more than a century ago when Texans of Mexican heritage (Tejanos) took an interest in the accordion music of German, Polish, and Czech immigrants. The ensuing Tejano accordion music, accompanied by the bajo sexto (replacing the European tuba) soon came to represent the Tejano way of life, which was closely associated with working in the agricultural fields. The music remains unchanged and serves as a symbol that binds many Tejano communities in South and Central Texas.' Jimenez refined his conjunto musical skills by playing in San Antonio saloons and dance halls. He began performing in the 1960s with fellow San Antonio native Douglas Sahm, the founding member of the Sir Douglas Quintet. Jimenez also played with Bob Dylan, Dr. John and Ry Cooder. Throughout his career, Jimenez added other influences into conjunto music, including from country, rock and jazz. In the 1990s, Jimenez was part of the Tejano supergroup the Texas Tornados, which included Sahm, Augie Meyers and Freddy Fender. The group won a Grammy in 1991 for the song, 'Soy de San Luis.' Jimenez also won another Grammy in 1999 as part of another supergroup, Los Super Seven. Jimenez earned five Grammys and was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2015. He was also inducted into the National Hispanic Hall of Fame and NYC International Latin Music Hall of Fame and was named a Texas State Musician in 2014. When Jimenez was named a 2022 National Medal of Arts recipient, the White House said he was being honored for 'harnessing heritage to enrich American music' and that by 'blending Norteño, Tex Mex, and Tejano music with the Blues, Rock n' Roll, and Pop Music, he sings the soul of America's Southwest.' 'Flaco, your legacy will forever be remembered with fond memories. We appreciate the gift of your musical talent, which brought joy to countless fans. Your passing leaves a void in our hearts,' the Texas Conjunto Music Hall of Fame and Museum said in a post on social media. Kyle Young, the CEO of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee, said Jimenez 'was a paragon of Tejano conjunto music.' 'Whether he was recording with Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt or the Rolling Stones, or working with his own supergroup, the Texas Tornados, Flaco drew millions of listeners into a rich musical world they might not have discovered on their own,' Young said. ___ Follow Juan A.

'If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has – then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,' Timberlake wrote on Instagram on Thursday. 'When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure,' he continued. 'But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness.' The Grammy-winning singer said the diagnosis forced him to consider stopping touring but added: 'I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going.' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

Other celebrities have also spoken about their experience with Lyme disease, including pop star Justin Bieber and rock singer Avril Lavigne. What is Lyme disease and what is it caused by? Lyme disease is spread by bacteria from the bites of infected black-legged ticks. It's named after Lyme, Connecticut, where the disease was first identified in the United States in 1975. In the United States, around 476,000 people across the nation are diagnosed and treated for the disease every year, according to recent estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While ticks that carry the bacteria most common in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and upper-Midwest, those who work or spend time in grassy areas where ticks live are more likely to be at risk, as well as those who have pets such as dogs that can bring them home. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The disease is also common in Europe and in south-central and southeastern Canada. What are the signs and symptoms of Lyme disease? For many people with Lyme disease, a common early sign is a rash, which may look like a bull's eye and can itch or feel warm to the touch. Other symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue and joint stiffness. If it's not treated, Lyme disease can cause more serious conditions including joint infection, nervous system diseases and inflammation of the heart. Some people may also suffer from post-Lyme disease syndrome, which can cause ongoing nerve pain, fatigue and memory problems. Lyme disease can be confused for other health conditions, and vice versa, so it's important those who have symptoms speak to a health care provider. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Most people who get Lyme disease make a full recovery after a few weeks of antibiotics. But there are no vaccines against Lyme disease – one shot approved in the United States was discontinued in 2002, with the producer blaming low demand. But Pfizer and French pharmaceutical company Valneva are carrying out human trials for a new vaccine that could protect against North American and European strains of Lyme disease; Pfizer said last year that participants had received three doses and would be monitored until the end of the 2025 Lyme disease season. The University of Massachusetts Medical School's MassBiologics is also working on a seasonal preventative shot for the disease. How can you prevent Lyme disease? To avoid being infected with Lyme disease – or any of the other potentially serious diseases such as Babesiosis that ticks can transmit – it's important to avoid getting bitten in the first place. That means wearing repellent, walking in the middle of trails and avoiding brushy areas where possible. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The Mayo Clinic also advises choosing light-colored clothing to help you see any ticks, avoiding open-toed shoes or sandals, wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants and tucking clothing in. After a walk, you should check yourself and your dog for ticks (You can find more information on avoiding tick bites and what to do if you find a tick on yourself or your dog here.) It's important to take precautions even if you've had Lyme disease before, as you can get it again.
