Joe "King" Carrasco (born Joe Teusch in Dumas, Texas) is a Tex-Mex "new wave" musical artist, based in Austin, Texas. He founded the band Joe "King" Carrasco and El Molino in Texas in the late 70s. Their album, Tex-Mex Rock & Roll, was self-released and later picked up by Big Beat Records. Subsequently he founded a new band, and as Joe "King" Carrasco and the Crowns, attained international popularity with the single "Party Weekend".
In the mid 1980s Carrasco moved to Nicaragua to study for several years, writing songs with a political flavor. Later his music style, adding influences from cumbia and reggae, evolved into what he calls "tequila reggae". [1]
