Grupo Excito Band Details
Grupo Excito is dedicated to the preservation of the Tejano music genre. The Band is versatile and can perform a well rounded mix of Ranchera, Cumbia, Corrido, Polka, Ballada, and Country rhythms in a seemingly non-stop fashion for hours. The Band brings a multi-generational, refined, musical style, bridging the gap between young and old, with over 100 years of combined musical experience.The group is led by Roel Rodriguez, a self-taught musician, who founded the group in 1992. Roel has traveled across the country and has performed for audiences in Ohio, Oklahoma, Florida, and Oregon. He grew up in the music scene where his father Lupe "Wally" Rodriguez introduced him to Conjunto music traveling for over 10 years playing the Conjunto/Regional music circuit near Houston. Today he integrates styles from his past experiences, and influences from David Lee Garza y Los Musicales, Roberto Pulido, Ram Herrera, Grupo Mazz, among others. Since those early days, Roel has learned to play the Bass Guitar, Guitar, Bajo Sexto, Accordion, Guitar, and Keyboard. He's performed with artists like Billy O'Roarke of Los Musicales, La Traizion, Los Draculas, Superior Band, Midnight Rodeo, and David Lee Garza Y Los Musicales. Using his experience, he strives to help a younger generation continue performing the music of their fathers.
