A Journey to Advocate for Freddy Fender’s Country Music Legacy

The story of Freddy Fender starts in the bars & cantinas of Deep South Texas. How much further south can you go in Texas? Well this story takes place in a small cluster of towns in Texas neighboring the U.S.-Mexican border known as the Rio Grande Valley. It may be a river delta, but here, in the town of San Benito, Texas, is where we find Baldemar Huerta, the man who would later be known as Freddy Fender.
