Within the first few lines of the song, the audience is able to notice the references to Texas, including the cities of Laredo, a Mexican border city and San Antonio, a city with a high Hispanic population. \u2018Mojado Sin Licensia\u2019 is described to be Norte\u00f1o music. Norte\u00f1o music was developed in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century and is a mixture of local Mexican music and \u2018Austrian-Czech-origin\u2019 folk music. Norte\u00f1o music is representative of Texas\u2019 Hispanic-heritage population and how their culture is intertwined with various groups of people. The lyrics of Norte\u00f1o music often allude to socially relevant topics and the music traditionally includes the accordion and the bajo sexto. Within \u2018Mojado Sin Licensia\u2019, Flaco Jimenez alludes to the social issues of immigration, the life of undocumented people, and all in an ironically light mood created by the accordion and danceable music. Being that Texas is a state that has been controlled by 6 different groups including itself, the people of Texas have absorbed different cultures. In addition, Texas is a border state which speaks to why immigration is such a pertinent subject in their state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Norteno Music: Accordion<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/05\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/05\/image-5.png 500w, https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/05\/image-5-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"405\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/05\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/05\/image-6.png 405w, https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/05\/image-6-300x222.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>About the Artist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/05\/image-8-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1846\" width=\"358\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/05\/image-8-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/05\/image-8-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/05\/image-8-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/05\/image-8.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"394\" class=\"wp-image-211\" style=\"width: 200px\" src=\"https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/01\/Flaco-Jimenez.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/01\/Flaco-Jimenez.jpg 400w, https:\/\/unewhavendh.org\/music-of-texas-spring-2023\/files\/2023\/01\/Flaco-Jimenez-300x296.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Leonardo &#8216;Flaco&#8217; Jimenez was a singer, songwriter, and accordionist of Mexican descent from San Antonio, Texas.
