I have had this idea of utilizing glow paint for quite some time and ‘Cumbia Fantasia’ was the perfect song to showcase this luminous concept!”

Stefani recently released dual singles for radio airplay from her hugely successful new album La Dueña, “Cumbia Fantasia” and the title track “La Dueña.” The move was to satisfy the diversity of Tejano music fans.

“Stefani Montiel is an artist without limitations or boundaries,” said a news release accompanying the new singles. “She can go from the most beautifully sung progressive Tejano rancheras, to packing the dance floor with her signature club cumbias.”

Torilla Factory frontman Alfredo Antonio Guerrero proposed to his girlfriend during his performance at the Texas Jazz Festival in Corpus Christi on Friday, October 21.

The singer dropped to one knee at Heritage Park overlooking the Corpus Christi bay to propose to his girlfriend, model Grace Escobar.

“This was a bittersweet moment in my life, ” Guerrero told TejanoNation.net. “I had just lost Charro Negro the week before so this was the first time I had ever hit the stage without my daddy, Tony “Ham” Guerrero, founder of Tortilla Factory and co-founder Bobby Butler a.k.a. El Charro Negro.”

Butler passed away on his 79th birthday on October 14 at his home in San Angelo, Texas.

“It ended up with joy and happiness in my heart, because I dropped on one knee in the middle of our show and a packed house in Corpus Christi at The Texas Jazz Festival right next to the ocean and proposed to my best friend who is the most beautiful lady in the world, with the most beautiful heart in the world…..Grace….Let the new adventure begin,” Guerrero added.

The wedding is tentatively scheduled for Rio De Janiero, Brazil, on October 22, 2018.  The wedding will include a performance by Shelly Lares, and groomsmen will include rapper Paul Wall, Sean The Jeweler and Warbucks Music President Randy Saenz.

Rising Tejano singer Marcus Daniels and friends pay tribute to legendary Tejano singer “El Charro Negro” Bobby Butler with an “El Papalote” remake. “El Papalote” is a 1969 Tejano classic and the title track from Butler’s solo album.

Butler passed away on his 79th birthday on October 14 at his home in San Angelo, Texas, and was a member of Little Joe and the Latinaires,  who later became a co-founder of Tortilla Factory with Tony “Ham” Guerrero.

The remake of this classic song is the brainchild of producer Sotero Soniceros of Algo Suave, who also played keyboards on the track.  The song features Daniels on vocals, Lazaro Martinez on bajo/guitar, Memo Rincon on bass, Chris Rivera on drums, Porfirio Sanchez on trumpets, and Jay Gomez on accordion.

“I would like to thank all the guest musicians who volunteered their time and talents for my project,” said Sonieros. “This was done in the memory of Bobby Butler ‘Charro Negro’ R.I.P.”

The remake is available for free download from Tex Sound Publishing’s website. Click here to get the song.

Legendary Tejano radio personality Jonny Ramirez continues his philanthropic work with Miracle Kids to benefit the San Antonio Children’s Hospital.

“As the holidays approach let’s remember the kids at the Children’s Hospital Of San Antonio and the fact that no matter what the color of their skin may be, what nationality they may be, what religion they may practice or what their economic or social status may be, every child receives the best medical attention known to man, “Ramirez posted on his official Facebook page on Monday. “That is why starting this Wednesday, I will hopefully inspire you to donate so that the Children’s Hospital can continue to offer our children the best services available.”

The former morning show DJ spent over 20 years entertaining Tejano fans on San Antonio and helped many charities and causes over those two decades.

“I have gathered some Tejano Treasures from some of the artists that I worked with during my radio tenure and we will have an auction in hopes of raising as much money as possible,” added Ramirez. “I have always said that it is up to US to help ourselves so I hope to hear from all of you come Wednesday.”

If would like to donate or support via the Tejano Treasures auction, you can visit JonnyRamirezMiracleKids.org, beginning Wednesday, November 9.

In October 2015, the longtime radio personality was shockingly let go from Univision Radio’s KXTN in San Antonio during a round of budget cuts. Ramirez had been with the Tejano radio station for over 22 years, most of that time serving as the station’s morning host.

Tejano Nation is a proud supporter of Jonny Ramirez Miracle Kids and will have more details on this great cause soon.

Grupo Remedio is determined to make their name known in the industry as more than just “son and daughter of Raulito Navaira”.

With three nominations at this weekend’s Tejano Music Awards, Remedio is hoping to do just that.

Grupo Remedio is unlike many artists in the Tejano industry, not just because of their sound and performance factor, but because of their constant battle to prove themselves as credible artists.

“Making it to the Top 5 nominee list is huge for my brother and I,” said Destiny Navaira, lead singer of Grupo Remedio. “I hope that the industry sees we are serious about what we do.”

Within the past decade, the Navaira’s have gone through a great deal of ups and downs and Grupo Remedio hopes that this year ends with an ultimate goal accomplished.

“Whether we win or not, this experience has given me the fuel I need to continue to work hard and produce quality Tejano music for my culture,” said Navaira. “Our goal is to keep our culture alive and continue to do what we love to do.”

With the 36^th Annual Tejano Music Awards taking place this Saturday, Grupo Remedio will hit the purple carpet and stage in a way they have yet to in years past.

“This year is different in so many ways,” said Navaira. “It will be weird not seeing our uncle Emilio on the stage this year but we are excited to share the stage with our cousins as we tribute their father and all he did for the music industry.”

Raulito Navaira is proud of his children’s tenacity and continues to stand back and let Grupo Remedio shine on their own.

“I love seeing my kids perform on stage with me,” Raulito Navaira said. “It reminds me of being on stage with my brother but now it is their time.”

Grupo Remedio prides themselves on their sound which incorporates traditional Tejano melodies, while also adding a twist that is pleasing to old and new school fans.

“I can’t wait for the entire industry to hear our music; hear us live,” said Destiny Navaira. “To us, it is not about the wins or losses. It is about making quality music and giving people, like us, hope for a better future.”

Grupo Remedio will walk the Tejano Music Awards’ purple carpet at 5pm on Saturday, November 12^th.  Grupo Remedio will join Raulito Navaira on stage along with The Last Bandoleros, country singer Clay Walker and Grupo Rio in a tribute to the late Emilio Navaira at the Tobin Center in downtown San Antonio.

Grupo Remedio, winner of “Best New Group” at the 36^th Annual Tejano Music Awards, is ready to hit the ground running, as they release their newest single “Amándote.”

Following the duo’s wins at the TTMA’s on November 12, Grupo Remedio want to ensure their fans are given more music to enjoy as a “Thank you” for all the support.

“This song is definitely one of our favorites on the album,” said Destiny Navaira.  “We chose this song as our next single in hopes that our fans love it as much as we do!”

Grupo Remedio set out to prove themselves as credible artists this year and it is safe to say they did that, and more. Not only did they win the award for “Best New Group”, Destiny Navaira also won “Best New Female,” while Rigo Navaira took home the award for “Best New Male”.

“We did it,” said Navaira. “Without the radio and internet, we would not have been able to reach this milestone.”

With the release of this single from their debut album Siempre Cantando, Remedio ventures into yet another new sound not heard on the radio today. “Amándote” explains the yearning for a love, something these two are not strangers of the feeling.

“I think my brother and I love this song so much because we can remember the exact feelings we are singing about,” Navaira said.  “That is why the song works. It is real.”

Tejano music is ready and in need of a strong duo to take the genre by storm and Remedio is here to stay. 

“We are definitely here to stay and hope the industry sees our hard work and determination to provide quality music for our fans,” Navaira said. “Making music is in our blood and that is not changing anytime soon.”
