ALICE, TX is recognized as the "Birthplace of Tejano Music". It is also the Birthplace of Armando Lichtenberger Jr!!! It was so much fun seeing La Mafia perform in Mando's hometown and quite a contrast from the show 2 weeks prior in Oscar's birthplace (the largest city in Texas. La Villita is not the exactly the fanciest place, nor the largest, that I've seen in my La Mafia Travels. It's kind of out in the middle of nowhere. You just have to know where it is, there is not even a sign on it. Had it not been for a friend from Corpus taking me by there earlier that day, I NEVER would have found it LOL The place was packed with die-hard La Mafia fans (and family and friends) many who have been following La Mafia since way back in the 80's. |
