Recorded on 10/3/15 at the KOOP studios, Austin Texas. BJ Moncivais passed away in August 2018.
Rancho Alegre talked with BJ Moncivais of legendary Austin, Texas-based Chicano record label, Valmon Records. BJ's parents, Ben and Lupe Moncivais, started the label in the 1950s and recorded some of central Texas' favorite Tejano musicians like Little Joe and the Latinaires, Manuel Donley, Roy Montelongo, and more.
During the interview, we discuss the history and future of this regionally popular, but influential independent record label.
During the broadcast, we played these 45s from Valmon Records:
1. "A Medio Baile" by El Conjunto Corona de Señon Reyes 2. "Por Un Amor" by Little Joe and the Latinaires 3. "Dancing in the Street" by Alfonso Ramos y Su Orquesta 4. "Flor Del Rio" by Manuel Donley y Las Estrellas
