The 42nd Annual Tejano Music Awards ceremony was held on November 26, 2022.[1] It recognized the best recordings, compositions, and artists of Tejano music during the eligibility year, running from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021.[2]
The 42nd Annual Tejano Music Awards was held at the Tech Port Center + Arena in San Antonio, Texas. It was the first ceremony to have a live show and in-person audience since the 2019 Tejano Music Awards.[1]
Jay Perez and Shelly Lares received the most nominations. The Lifetime Achievement Awards were presented to Gilbert Velasquez and Roman Martinez, who founded The Hometown Boys.[3] The show featured performances by Lares, Perez, Isabel Marie, Sunny Sauceda, Stefani Montiel, The Homeboyz, Monica Saldivar, and included a showcase of new artists in Tejano music. On December 8, 2022, the show was broadcast on WOAI-TV.[4]
Pre-show and voting
[edit]Unlike the previous ceremonies, singles released in 2020 or a single released in 2021 on an album released in 2022, are eligible for submission for the Tejano Music Award for Song of the Year category.[2] Nominations and applications began on June 20, 2022. The Texas Talent Association requested that any musician, manager, record label, or artist representative could submit a nomination on their website and had to submit two CDs or two USB thumb drives for verification and eligibility.[5] Nominations were being accepted until July 31, 2022. During preliminaries, industry voting commenced on August 21, 2022, through September 18, 2022.[2] Industry voting submitted through mail had to be postmarked by September 16, 2022, to be accepted. The top 12 nominations for each category were announced on the Tejano Music Award website on October 3, 2022, and was open to public voting until November 6, 2022.[2]
It was announced on July 6, 2022, that the 42nd annual Tejano Music Awards (TMAs) would be held at the 3,200-seat Tech Port Center + Arena in San Antonio, Texas. The venue opened in May 2022 and is the first time that the TMAs were held there.[6]
As customary, the Tejano Music Awards Fan Fair took place before the awards ceremony. Spanning the weekend of March 17, the fan fair was hosted at San Antonio's Market Square. More than 150 musicians and bands performed at the event, while it received sponsorship from Modelo and Hermes Music.[7]
