Tejano legend Emilio Navaira has passed away from a heart attack tonight at the age of 54 years old.
Tejano music and Country Music are very closely linked in origins and this is a great loss to the Hispanic community and the musical community.
I grew up with my grand parents listening to his music and one of my favorite songs of his was “It’s Not The End Of The World.”
Emilio was born in 1962 in San Antonio, Texas and is known to be one of the most prominent Tejano artists of all time. This loss cuts deep into the hearts of Tejanos across the world.
May Emilio rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
