Any chance of adding  Tejano music styles such as guapango, polka, valse, cumbia. Normally these styles would require a button accordian, bajo sexto (Mexican 12 string guitar), drums and bass.

I second this. I am learning the button accordion and would love to be able to use band in a box to practice with. I am a prospective customer and I specifically came to this site looking for this.
If it does not exist, how many people would be the critical mass needed for the style to get created? There is a huge forum online that is for accordion players and bajo sexton/quinto players that could be tapped and I'm sure that there would be some interest.
Thanks,
-E

Tejano styles were introduced few years ago and they consist of RealTracks; the polkas and 4/4 styles are very good. I play a number of Little Joe tunes and others.
For me, only thing missing is a good solo accordion. I forget if it's possible to preview styles online.

I am interested in that, always for new music from all over the world.
Please says me, which styles you mean.
Or you could send me Band Names or MIDI Files.
I would try to make a Style out of that and upload it.
