Ever since Marcos was a child he has had a true passion for music. His love for music wasn't a phase, because he continued to play music throughout the years and is now one of Tejano music's most known artists.
His career began as the lead vocalist for Los Fabulosos Cuatro in 1989. He recorded three CDs with them; Alma Rota, Simplemente Fabulosos, and On Our Own. In 1993, Marcos joined David Lee Garza Y Los Musicales as their lead vocalist for six years.
Marcos was the first artist to sign under Catalina Records. Shortly after he signed with Catalina Records, he formed his own group, Grupo Rebelde. In 2001, they released their first CD which was entitled Ahora Y Siempre Simplemente Marcos! Five of the songs were written by the talented Orozco. In 2002, Grupo Rebelde put out their second CD entitled A Mi Manera, which Marcos contributed three of the songs. Marcos released his third CD in 2003, and is entitled Paso a Paso which contains twenty of his greatest hits with Los Fabulosos Cuatro, David Lee Garza Y Los Musicales, and his group, Grupo Rebelde. Eight of the songs on Paso A Paso were written by Marcos. His fourth CD, Sentimientos, really showcases his versatile musical ability. Recently, Marcos Y Rebelde established their own indie record label, OROMAR RECORDS and have released their latest project, Un Paso Mas.

THE GRATEFUL GEEZERS
TEJAS BROTHERS
The Tejas Brothers were formed in the fall of 2006, on a little stage in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. Guitarist Chris Zalez invited accordionist Dave Perez to a weekly jam in the Stockyards. Just a few songs into the first set, it was quickly realized that they were on to something. Chris called in drummer Danny Cochran and upright bass player John Garza, and the Tejas Brothers were born! The best way to define the Tejas Brothers sound is to say that it is genuine Texas Music. It's a winning combination of musical influences from around the Lone Star State. Imagine listening to traditional Texas blues from T-Bone Walker and Freddie King, the rock and roll of Buddy Holly, the country soul of Buck Owens and the Tex-Mex sound of the Texas Tornados...all at the same time. The Poteet Strawberry Festival is proud to present the Tejas Brothers on Sunday, April 5, 2009 from 8:30-9:30 PM on Miller Lite Stage #4-Veterans Pavillion.
