(Ed.'s Note: Does your taste run toward conjunto, classical, salsa, bachata, cumbia or rock and blues? You can find it all within two or three square blocks in downtown Brownsville. Whether it's the original Connectors at the Half Moon on Adams Street with Hawk on harmonicas, the Foncerradas at the Hueso del Fraile on Elizabeth playing Musica Nueva and Latin Folk, or Los Magnificos at La Movidita, there's a genre to fit your taste.
On Thursdays, Half Moon features Texas Southmost College's Dr. Jonathan Dotson playing classical music with Jen Cello to a growing number of aficionados to the synthesis of classical guitar and cello. Or would you rather make a fool of yourself doing karaoke at Chapters on Thursday, or at Double Trouble and Carta Brava on Sunday? Whatever your poison is, it's all there.)
