Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on February 23, 1939)

Happy birthday, Esteban "El Parche" Jordan! With thirty-five instruments under your belt—seriously, who else could rock an accordion and still be this cool—you've proven you can juggle more roles than candles on your cake. Your energetic style has us all trying (and failing) to copy those legendary moves of yours.

Thanks for pioneering Tejano music into what it is today; generations keep dancing because of you! Here's hoping this year finds even more hits from the maestro himself—or at least fewer fans requesting “just one more” encore tune. May your birthday celebration squeeze in plenty of joy... like only a master accordionist can!
