Destiny Navaira shares memory, rare photo of uncle Emilio on her birthday

Destiny Navaira, lead vocalist of Remedio and niece of Tejano legend Emilio Navaira, shared memories and a rare photo of her and her uncle on Wednesday (May 18), her birthday.

“If you know me, you know that I’m a bit of a birthday Diva, but this year needless to say, this birthday just isn’t as sweet knowing I won’t hear that small part of happy birthday followed by a ‘Dester where’s Raulito?’ at the end,” Destiny posted on her official Facebook page.

Destiny, daughter of Raulito Navaira, shared a rare photo of her and Emilio.

“This was our first picture together, he has literally been there since my day one,” she said.

In November, Destiny released an album with Remedio, a band that includes her brother Rodrigo Navaira.

“When I showed my uncle the new Remedio CD and tracks, he gave me his stamp of approval with a ‘Dester you’re soundin good’ and he’ll never know how much that meant to me to hear him say it,” she said.

The singer decided to dedicate her 2016 birthday to her uncle.

“So today my birthday is dedicated to you, to your life, to your everlasting light that I will carry with me forever. ‪#‎EmilioNavaira‬ ‪#‎ElReyDeRodeo‬ ‪#‎EmilioForever‬ Thank you for all your condolences birthday wishes thoughts and prayers…every message phone call and hug means so Much.
