Difference between Tejano, Nortena, etc

[j***@gmail.com]

TEJANO: It derives from norteño music, Mexican Americans created this music using same instruments as norteño music but incorporated other instruments such as keyboard musical instruments and were influenced by rock and roll and country music, originally the accordion was a secondary instrument while in norteño music it has been the main instrument since its conception.

NORTEÑO: Originated in the mid 1800 when Maximiliano of Habsburgo came to Mexico and brought with him the rhythms and dances of europe, after the triumph of Juarez over the european invaders, europeans and creoles started to migrate to the north of Mexico in what is now Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and Tamaulipas and south of Texas, mexicans started to copy polkas and other rhythms and created their own lyrics, singing rancheras and other mexican songs adopting the accordion as the main instrument of the Conjunto Norteño, tejano music started to develop in the same way singing lyrics from norteño and ranchera music but incorporating sound of the southern/USA...

I live in San Diego and am learning Spanish and Mexican culture. There are
several Tijuana radio stations I listen to. Can someone enlighten me on
the difference between some of the musical genres?
I like Selena's music. What makes it Tejano? Who are other prominent
Tejano artists and artistas?
I bought "Jefe De Jefes" (Los Tigres Del Norte) recently. In this NG
someone said it was mostly "pure Nortena than Ranchera" I noticed a lot of
the songs have to do with the US, drug lords, etc. What makes it Nortena?
I have Linda Ronstadt's "Mas Canciones" Is this Ranchera? Do her albums
authentically represent Mexican / Mexican-American music?
I have found Tejano links, but they have not helped me understand the
differences between genres.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Michael

I hope this isn't too late to be a contribution.
I was working in a Spanish language Gospel station on the Tex/Mex border back in the early 90's. Tejano music was already a big deal by then.
A DJ/Music Director at a station in McAllen which always polled the highest on both sides of the river explained the difference between Tejano and Norteno music as follows:
Norteno music started back when Polish workers arrived to build the railroads in Mexico. With them, they brought the accordion. The very first Norteno music sounded a lot like polkas and if you listen carefully, you might hear some similarities today.
Going on, he explained that Tejano is basically a synthesized form of Norteno with a keyboard replacing the accordion and often other instruments as well. Remember, this was back in '90 and '91 and genres often evolve over the years.
