A Norteño Cover of Rick Astey's "Never Gonna Give You Up"

Norteño is a folk music tradition that originated in northeastern Mexico. As waves of immigration moved north, they carried with them Norteño tunes and traditions. EZ Band, which is based in Houston, reflects part of this cultural enrichment in Texas. They play the traditional accordion, as well as the more modern electric guitar.

In this video, EZ Band cover’s Rick Astley’s iconic “Never Gonna Give You Up” with the melodious polka-like flow familiar here north of the Rio Grande.
