The Zona Zone Link!

This link has Arizona music entertainment sources. Last year I checked every Website link for all the groups listed here, but a few had to be deleted because they were no longer active. If any of you do have a new URL and/or would like to be added here, just send an email with all the information. Be seen, be heard, so kindly advice if you have changed emails, business phone numbers, or would like to add a new cell or FAX number. Thanks.

This Web page was created for:

  • Tejano groups, DJs, singers, and musicians from the state of Arizona. It was created exclusively so they can promote their talent and attain additional music engagements.
  • For promoters, tejano fans, and the general public that need more information on certain local groups for their entertainment requirements, concerts, and dances.
  • To open doors to new and independent tejano groups as well as established professionals here in our state.
  • To promote La Onda Tejana with our Arizona groups, conjuntos, and bands.
