The Texas Conjunto Music Hall of Fame and Museum will host its 13th annual induction ceremony on Saturday, June 22, at the San Benito Community Building on 210 E. Heywood St.

This year, the Conjunto HOF will welcome five new members, each boasting prestigious statuses. Live music entertainment will also be provided.

The five inductees include Mario Saenz, Johnny Canales and David Lee Garza as well as Juan Sifuentes and Ramon Medina; Sifuentes and Medina are being inducted posthumously.

“Playing a few songs will be inductee Mario Saenz,” said Museum President Rey Avila. “Johnny Canales told me a month ago that since he is internationally known, he doesn’t know if he will be able to make it or not. We will find out probably four days before.”
