"Sunny Sauceda is no stranger to the Grammy Awards. The San Antonio accordionist and
singer took home the best Tejano album trophy in 2005 for Polkas, Gritos y Accordeones
(and also nabbed the Latin Grammy in the same category). Sauceda has earned a stack of
Tejano industry honors, including several as the former frontman of Grupo Vida.
Part of what's kept him relevant is his willingness to try new things. Sauceda landed an
opening spot on the Dixie Chicks' Fly Tour, and his new disc is a stirring tribute to family. A
few days before heading to Los Angeles for the big ceremony, Sauceda talked tradition and

Tejano Grammy nominee Sunny Sauceda likes to mix it up in different genres

Ramiro Burr
Express-News Staff Writer

"One of the main things I like to do is collaborate with other artists and songwriters," Sauceda said. "I like working with a variety of musicians. I am not limited to just Tejano.

"I wanted to use Sunny because of his unique sound and the energy," said Roger Velasquez, whose latest CD, "Quiero Besarte," features Sauceda. "He has a whole lot of energy, not just on stage but also in the studio, and it comes through even on the recording.

"He brought that spark and fire to the tunes 'Quiero Besarte' and 'La Vida Corta.'"

"When he joined them, Sunny transcended Grupo Vida. He took their sound to a whole different playing field," said Carlos Alvarez, ARC Discos promotions representative. "Sunny still has that power and dynamic energy on his albums, but you can also still hear a raw conjunto feel."

"Sunny has positioned himself as a top solo artist. He's made some risky career moves to help him stand out," said DJ "Jumpin'" Jess Rodriguez with the Houston-based A Top Latin Entertainment Agency. "He is definitely a breakout artist, and his Grammys can attest to that. He's also a professional. His membership in the Texas Grammys and the Academy of Tejano Music tells you he is serious about his craft."

 

Sunny Sauceda encourages Latin music fans to "Live Free".

Sunny Sauceda has again stepped up in 2007 and delivered the most exciting CD of the year. Mixed and mastered by famous Latin music recording engineer Tony Gonzales, the red hot "Vagar Libremente" is the newest priority from Texas based Tejas Records.

 While last year's self titled "Sunny" and its huge radio hit "Cumbia Con Acordeón" announced his exciting solo recording career to the world, Sunny has now raised the bar even further with this incredible mix of styles and creative influences that is "Vagar Libremente".

Radio stations throughout the market are raving over the new CD. Program director Jay Gonzalez says "This whole record is killer, no filler. I think this CD is worthy of the record of the year award".  Rudy G from KBSO 94.7 in Corpus Christi says "Totally awesome. The best record so far this year."

Tejas was excited to reunite Tony Gonzales and Sauceda, two friends who's collaborations were part of many chart topping hits and the platinum selling "Kik It", one of the highest selling and most popular records in this genre.

 Sunny's career started as a childhood star in San Antonio, recording his first CD as a young boy at the age of 5. During a lifetime spent with music; first with his family then with highly successful groups and now as a solo artist, Sunny's songwriting, recordings, and performances have been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of fans across the world. As the charismatic front man for Grupo Vida, Sunny's legendary stage presence influenced a decade of up and coming performers – something he is continuing to do even stronger with new artistic freedom. As his musical career progressed Sunny received some of the highest recognitions in the industry including two GRAMMY awards, Billboard Magazine's " Relevación Del Año", Accordion Player of the Year award, and an opening spot on the record breaking Dixie Chicks “Fly” tour.

 Now the culmination of all his past accomplishments is clear in the quality of "Vagar Libremente" about which Tony Gonzales who co-produced the hit CD with Sauceda said "What a tremendous talent Sunny is. Recording this CD reminded me of the old days; I think we've hit upon that magic one more time".

 As to the CD's commercial success, wholesalers and retailers across the country are now viewing Sunny as one of the potential hotspots in this Latin music niche.
"We had a strong nationwide release on "Vagar Libremente", says Seven Z Music Distribution President Johnny Zaragoza. "Tejas Records is our biggest label partner and they believe very strongly in him. We worked the advance retail promotion on this record very aggressively. We got Sunny to Las Vegas during the production phase of the record to be introduced to music buyers for The Handleman Co. who represent K-Mart, Best Buy and Circuit City. We flew with Tejas representatives to Handleman's annual meeting in Nashville to personally put Sunny's advance promotion materials into the hands of every single regional sales rep in the United States. "Vagar Libremente" was able to hit the street with a level of retailer awareness that most records don't get. We'll see the benefit of these efforts build with every new Sunny release and that's one reason he's an artist to watch."


Sunny shows no signs of slowing down and is pushing his promotion and performance schedule tirelessly to keep building on his successes.

2008 Grammys: 4 SA artists - UPDATED

Sauceda, who won a Grammy and a Latin Grammy alongside David Lee Garza as part of Joel Guzman's 2004 "Polkas, Gritos y Acordeones," said he was caught by surprise.
"I was running around getting stuff done when I found out," said Sauceda. "This is a milestone because it is my first Grammy nomination as a solo artist and really exciting.
"It goes to show, if you stick in there and work hard, and say your prayers every night, it will pay off."

After Winning a Latin GRAMMY:

Best Tejano Album, “Polkas, Gritos, y Acordeones” Sunny Sauceda: “Being able to win a GRAMMY award and now a Latin GRAMMY, this is definitely a life altering experience” 11/07/2005

" I've got to be up front with you. I'm still the guy from the flea market on Highway 16, the guy that used to play five hours for $40, that's me. You can't forget those days. It's intimidating, but you know what, I learned a lot, I gained a lot of experience. I learned that even though we all play the accordion, it's totally different. So it's a good feeling." -Sunny

Concerning his self titled release “Sunny”: "I included some of the stuff people are used to hearing me do, but I also wanted to do something that I didn't do before, and that's do some old conjunto songs that I did back when I played at Casa's Nightclub," Sauceda said. "Conjunto is where my roots are. I've been playing conjunto since I was 5 years old. Not that many people know that.

"Believe it or not, all together it's been 23 years. I'm only 28. My dad would pay me like $5, because he'd always tell me, 'I'm going to pay you, because when you get paid, you're considered professional.' I didn't care. I was cool — $5 — I was only 5 years old."
