¡Viva Emilio!
For one night only, the YOSA Philharmonic celebrates the music of a Tejano legend, San Antonio’s own Emilio Navaira. On stage with a full orchestra of YOSA musicians, the Official Emilio Navaira Tribute featuring Emilio and Diego Navaira, his sons, will reinvent familiar songs from throughout Emilio’s career, including “Como Le Hare,” “Lucero de Mi Alma,” “Donde Andara,” “Juntos,” and more. Navaira was awarded a Grammy in 2002, a Latin Grammy in 2007, and charted more than a dozen hit singles on the Billboard Latin and Country charts. In 1993, Navaira and Selena joined forces for “El Baille,” in the second concert ever in the Alamodome with 30,000 fans.
Don’t miss this rare chance to hear Navaira’s beloved Tejano hits come to life in new and exciting versions with the YOSA Philharmonic!
”YOSA Presents: Viva Emilio” is on March 10 at 8:00 p.m. in the H-E-B Performance Hall at the Tobin Center for Performing Arts.
This is a past performance from March 2024.
About the Naivara Brothers
The Navaira brothers have always made music a family affair. From a young age, Emilio IV and Diego knew they wanted to pursue music together. Their tight bond and increasingly apparent talent led them to play with their dad, Emilio Navaira III, and start multiple music projects of their own.
From 2014 until 2023, the brothers made up two-thirds of The Last Bandoleros, a Latin-Rock fusion group signed to Warner Music Nashville in 2016 before embarking on multiple tours across North and South America, Europe, and Asia as well as numerous television appearances on Good Morning America and Jimmy Kimmel Live! Currently, Emilio and Diego are focusing on returning to their rock and roll roots with San Antonio-native, Nashville-based Ready Revolution. With younger sister, Emely, joining the lineup in 2023, the group is actively writing and recording new material with plans to release a new album in early 2024. In the meantime, you can find Ready Revolution on all music streaming platforms to see what these accomplished brothers do next.
