Leti De La Vega Bio

Leti De La Vega sings her family's unique blend of original Tejano music. Leti performs songs written by her brothers and her mother. Generations of her family's history is reflected in the music.

In 2005, she released La Primera, a re-recording and remastering of the songs she had on her debut CD. Her singing voice has grown and improved since that early release. Some of the early instrumental parts have been redone and the whole album was remixed and digitally mastered. The result is that although it looks like the same album, it is in fact a completely new and improved rendering of the material and should be considered and listened to as a separate release.

Her 2003 release, Canciones De La Familia De La Vega, reflects the influences of the styles of music her family learned in Mexico and Texas, with several generations of De La Vegas performing on it. This album contains some excellent instrumental numbers and several songs featuring vocals from De La Vega family members that are outstanding singers.

Her 2002 release, Rancho Viejo, Mexico, features songs in both Spanish and English. Most of the songs were written by De La Vega and tell stories about the history of Rancho Viejo, Mexico from the days of the original Spanish land grant to the present. De La Vega was joined by well-known players such as Champ Hood and Doak Short on the album, as well as by members of four generations of the Sanchez-De La Vega family.

Originally from Harlingen, Leti spent her childhood in both Texas and Rancho Viejo, Mexico, where she absorbed music from both cultures.

In conjunction with some professors at UT Harlingen, she is working on a book about her family history. Her family's music and history tell the story of Texas beginning long before Texas became a state.

She's writing new songs as well, some telling the story of the Balli family, who own Padre Island.

Toni Price recorded one of her songs, "The Old Fiddler's Waltz" on her Sol Power album.
