Elida Reyna y Avante

Elida Reyna Y Avante, also known as (EYA), is a Latin 2X Grammy Award winning Tejano band formed in the Rio Grande Valley in 1992. Their first two albums "Atrevete" (1994) and "Algo Entero" (1996) were qualified for gold status. They were awarded "Billboard" Magazines "Revelacion Del Año" award and were named "Rising Group of the Year" at the TTMA Industry Awards in 1995. Elida Reyna Y Avante shocked the industry by going out on its own. The group self-released one single and then did something nearly as shocking by signing in 1996 with unknown Tejas Records in San Antonio, which had released just one album—and a blues album at that. In 1996, Reyna won the TTMA Award for "Rising Female Star" and in 1997, she hosted the Pura Vida Awards. At the 1999 Tejano Music Awards, Elida Y Avante won "Most Promising Band of the Year". In 2000 Reyna scored big with a Ranchera song entitled, "Duele". This album EYA 98 would go platinum which was unheard of for any female in the Tejano genre. In 2007, Reyna signed with record label Freddie Records and released her first album with them Domingo. Reyna has been featured in numerous magazines and other Latin publications. At the 2010 – 30th Anniversary Tejano Music Awards, Reyna won two Decade Ballots for "Female Vocalist of the 2000s" & "Best Song of the 2000s" with Duele. Reyna has also performed for President Barack Obama at the Latino Inaugural Ball, where she performed a duet "Quedemos Como Amigos" with fellow Tejano singer Michael Salgado. Reyna appeared in the Motion Picture "Harvest Of Redemption" directed by Javier Chapa. In the movie, she performed her hit "Duele”

In 2025, Reyna decided to retire from the Road after 34 years and embark on one “Final Tour”. Reflecting on her career, Reyna expressed her gratitude. “ It has been an incredible honor to share my music and my heart with the world. I never imagined that this journey would take me so far, and I am forever grateful for the love and support from my fans. The 2025 “Farewell Tour” will make stops in Major cities across the U.S. and Mexico culminating in a grand finale concert at The Majestic Theater in San Antonio December 12th.
