Congressman Joaquin Castro eulogizes Tejano legend Johnny Canales in U.S. House

U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, on Friday delivered a remembrance of late South Texas TV host and Tejano music legend Johnny Canales on the floor of the U.S. House. Canales, who died last week at 77, hosted The Johnny Canales Show, a long-running TV program known for breaking Tex-Mex musicians such as La Mafia, Jennifer Pena and Los Tigres del Norte to larger audiences. The Corpus Christi-based show, which eventually went into international syndication, was among the first to feature a performance by the late Tejano legend Selena. "Johnny was a champion for civil rights, an advocate for veterans and a musician in his own right," Castro said during his eulogy for the TV personality, DJ and bandleader.
