  chart-topping hits later in the year, "Bebe Dame" with Fuerza
  Regida and "Que Vuelvas" with Carin Leon; in 2023, the band's Bad

  100; and

  Artist of the Year; in addition, the group performed "Un x100to" in
  Times Square for Good Morning America on September 27 in
  celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month; and
         WHEREAS, The outstanding achievements of Grupo Frontera have
  focused international attention on the Rio Grande Valley's vibrant
  Latin music community, helping to showcase the Lone Star State's
  contributions to this popular genre; now, therefore, be it
