Background

Elida Reyna, Shelly Lares, and Stefani Montiel all had successful solo careers prior to forming Las 3 Divas. They were asked to perform a tribute piece together to honor the late Tejano powerhouse Laura Canales at the Tejano National Convention in August 2005. Their performance was such a success, that they decided it was time to officially join forces and record an album together. On Sep 27, 2005, Las 3 Divas released their self-titled album. It is their first and only album, it featured both single and trio performances by the artists. The first single from their album “La Cumbia Del Oeste” became a number one hit on Texas Latin radio stations. Later that year, Las 3 Divas went on a 21-day tour overseas to entertain the troops. The "Armed Forces Entertainment Tour" began on September 27, 2005 and ended on October 17, 2005.

gollark: Also, aren't cytokine storms a thing of *too much* immune response?
gollark: Plus it might be dependent on long-term environmental things or genetics, in which case good luck.
gollark: I would assume it's because the immune system still isn't extremely well-understood, and vaccination is easier and more consistent.
gollark: Huh, this somehow runs at 100 FPS.
gollark: The existing things I know of just use textures for IO as there's not any other way.
