We are thrilled Belen Escobedo is being honored with the 2026 NEA National Heritage Fellowship for her Texas Mexican borderlands fiddling. We have featured Belen and her rare and beautiful tunes at the FTF for the past ten years and LOVE that she is getting the major national recognition she deserves!
Belen's webpage ( and contact for booking) is here: /
Awesome that the fiddle & bajo sexto music unique to the borderlands is getting attention!
