I think the header (to 2) is a bit much. À Tribute to Tejano Legends Emilio Navaira and Jimmy Gonzalez would have been enough being the two are on the poster everyone already knows its the two of them that are being celebrated. Also, “It’s a tribute (to two) of the most influential and beloved Tejano artists of all time: Emilio Navaira and Jimmy Gonzalez.” It would read better if it were written: It’s a tribute to Emilio Navaira and Jimmy Gonzalez two of the most influential and beloved Tejano artists of all time. Separating the word and number (to 2) works better. Peace and Love.
