Connecting the front of the museum to a back area, which will be filled with more memorabilia in the future, is a small hallway with photos of late Tejano music industry professionals who made their own special impact, including Manuel Davila, founder of KEDA-AM Radio; Domingo Pe\u00f1a, radio\/TV personality and host of The Domingo Pe\u00f1a Show<\/i>; and Roland Garcia, co-founder of Hacienda Records.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Ozuna, a Tejano and soul singer, is best known as the frontman of Sunny & the Sunglows. His 1963 hit \u201cTalk to Me\u201d became one of the first songs by a Mexican American artist to earn success on the pop charts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cThis [museum] has been a long time coming,\u201d Ozuna said. \u201cTejano has its own culture. It\u2019s all over the world now. It\u2019s a good feeling that we\u2019re being recognized for our craft and all the work we\u2019ve done in the music industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Torres, a singer and songwriter, helped shape Tejano music on the national stage. She was the first Tejano artist to film a music video and one of the first women to form her own band. For her, the Totally Tejano Hall of Fame and Museum is important to the community because Tejano music is a genre the entire family can listen to together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cIn genres like pop, rap, and rock, the adults and kids like [different styles],\u201d Torres said. \u201cBut with Tejano, the whole family can enjoy it. That\u2019s the beauty of Tejano and why I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Debbie Castillo, the eldest daughter of Sonny Ace, smiled as she watched her 92-year-old father pose for photos in front of one of his old suits and a black and white photo from when he was a teenager. In the 1950s, he was an emerging voice of San Antonio\u2019s West Side Sound. His band, Sonny Ace & The Twisters, blended rock \u2019n\u2019 roll, R&B, and Mexican American music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to keep his legacy going with this museum,\u201d Castillo said. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor for him to be here and to help keep Tejano music alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
