4th annual Guadalupe Tejano Awards – Full winners list

After a two-week delay due to inclement weather, the 4th annual Guadalupe Awards handed out accolades to the best in Tejano music over the past year. Joe Lopez Y Grupo Mazz took home most of the awards at the event held in San Antonio on Saturday, December 3.

The awards, voted on by fans, were announced at B&N Sports Bar & Backyard and Lopez won Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year for Love From The Heart, and Tejano Group of the Year to Grupo Mazz, who also dominated the musicians’ awards with Guitar Player of Year (Juaquin Cura), Accordionist of the Year (Homero Esquivel), and Keyboardist of the Year (Brando Mireles).

Other notable winners include Elida Reyna as Female Vocalist of the Year, Marcos Orozco with Song of the Year for “Cada Dia Mas,” and New Group of the Year to Grupo Asalto.

The Guadalupe Awards have recognized the best in Tejano each year since 2019 including outstanding performers, songs, productions, and more categories.
