11 things you didn't know about Reina del Cid

[@barongerhardt]

Strange the algorithm sent me this video, but congratulations, still getting view 10+ years later.

[@TubeOClock]

Me too. Maybe a Xmas present.

[@jhmrem]

Yep, me too. 2025 getting this video in my stream.

Reina/Elle has one of the coolest sounding singing voices ever. It’s so silky smooth. I’ve been listening and watching for years after discovering Josh Turner and friends, including Toni and Carson. It’s a deep treasure trove of talented musicians. Love them all! 😃

[@greenwave819]

just found them today!

[@williamyalen6167]

Me2!!

[@timmooney6910]

One more thing about Reina del Cid. She is a complete sweetie pie. Thanks for the music.

[@JonSanders]

Your humor is UNREAL. I feel like you’re awkward like I am, but that you’re brave enough to still just try to be amazing. And you do that so well.

[@praveenlokhande1983]

I recently came across Reina's videos and didn't think of it initially, but for some reason their was something very addictive of her vocals/guitar play that I kept coming back to watch and now I am totally hooked. Genuinely gifted and looking forward to more of the performances..

[@Charlie-fx9dp]

😊

[@daveboydmusic744]

Such a genuine, and talented person - love enjoying her videos, with Toni, Josh and others .... she's a class act.

[@LuisFlores-vl3xz]

Totally agree

[@preacherjayk]

I have battled depression and anxiety for most of my life, touring was always hard for me, I finally stopped touring due to other health issues, but I sympathize with you,, just keep looking forward, you are very talented, and the world needs you.

[@seenonyt2210]

Aw, nice words! I hope you are doing well. All the best to you!

[@gramail2009]

I'm touched by your sharing, thank you! Never would have guessed in a million years about the anxiety, your delivery is so smooth, your songs so confident and slick and here you are even sharing stuff that most people would hide... Maybe it's got better though in the last 10 years, or not?

[@stephen9040]

Hey Reina, I am a good bit older than you and have suffered from anxiety and depression for a good number of years. I find that playing my violin is more effective at getting me out of that horrible place than any of the medication that I am prescribed here in the UK. Music is such a potent drug. Anyway I am learning to play guitar and I find your videos so inspiring. Thank you xx

[@vasileseicaru8740]

I'm a bit older than her too and I have learnt to manage my historical anxiety in the most effective yet costly way possible. I've trained myself to treat every scenario that would trigger my anxiety as if it were inconsequential and to have a "doesn't matter, I've got bigger fish to fry" attitude at all times in all situations. The downside should be fairly obvious: people will notice and will more often than not be offended by my lack of emotion. While I do play both guitar and violin, I've never done it on stage to see if that gets me through, although I'd expect to experience some degree of performance anxiety in a scenario that I would be unable to manage as it's unexplored.

[@isaackvasager9957]

This video is 10 years old????? You haven't aged more than week...geez. Share your secrets.

[@jasonbull3987]

I've a couple of mates that have done the opposite and given up gigs over the anxiety stuff. Drunk, obnoxious hecklers just wore them down. They're seriously awesome professional musicians as well. Teaching and jamming for themselves now. Good on you for finding your way. Rock on

[@theodoreharris794]

Thank you for sharing about your anxiety - it helps make me feel less alone to know that an artist I admire also has difficult times, and I guess it took some courage to share that 🌼

Your honesty about anxiety is how we all should be. It is the best way to overcome it :) never be ashamed having an attack and let people see it and the anxiety will get weaker :) not easy but it can be done. Love the honesty :)

[@kijekuyo9494]

I'm writing this 7 years after this video was posted, so you've probably forgotten about it by now! I'm a musician that happened upon your band playing "The Weight" and some other songs, and I thought they were very well arranged and performed. Thank you for the sharing. People are often very curious about the performers they follow.

[@gedanst1]

I think you forgot to add at least one thing. But you don't have to worry, I'm sure we already know that, and this is that, you are a person as simple as you are wonderful and you have managed to make the world a little bit more beautiful, for all of us. Thank you Reina del Cid!

That's an awesome video Reina, found you on KZbin, I love your voices and you and the rest of the gang seem to have so much fun. I wish more artists would talk to their fans and show them who you are. I'm very impressed with you as an artist and as a person. Good luck 👍

[@aw072]

This is raw vulnerability... sharing yourself. You inspire me. Thank you. ❤️

[@jamesphillips3073]

I'm the same way with anxiety, a mess beforehand, but when I get behind my guitar and sing my songs I feel right at home.

[@mikebillingsley32]

It takes alot to open up and tell people things about yourself. Thank you for that, We think you are awesome! Along with Toni and your other band members.

[@oriontech92]

I've literally watched you for so long years ago. And I'm glad to see your making something with life. It would be amazing to meet someone like you someday. One love and keep it up. Love you voice...

[@paullylambert5386]

Love your sense of humour and your honesty. You seem really genuine :)

[@alexclements5631]

Hi Elle , Love your music!! My be easier said than done but I’ve told members of my family and friends who get stressed “ It doesn’t accomplish ANYTHING to worry ! Things will ALWAYS work out , sometimes not Exactly like you want , but They will work out and life goes on “. If you look back at things you stressed out about, you will realize it! There are sometimes bumps in the road , but they’re just bumps not roadblocks! It doesn’t HELP to worry and doesn’t solve anything. If there are things you can do ( and I don’t mean drugs or becoming a drunk, which may seem to work at the moment , but not in the long run) to make for a better outcome, fine , if not , it’s not the end of the world! Take it easy kid , you have accomplished a lot and have a great life in front of you! I see how your music makes you happy and it puts a smile on my face! ENJOY LIFE ! TAKE CARE!

[@TramPainter]

I am in my 70s and also suffer anxiety. Like you, I find practising my craft helps me relax. As soon as I sit down with my instrument, my paints, my word processor or whatever, I can f oirget all the stupid stuff which goes around my head. Stick with it, Sweetie. You are an inspiration to me and many others of all ages. I look forward to Sunday evenings (I am in Australia) and your show each week.

[@stevenstickel7874]

I battle anxiety but never when I’m on stage in front of people. Like u said ur not alone. Ur focus changes. I really enjoy ur music and wish u the best

[@bradcoffman7395]

Almost 6 years later....made me chuckle and love it when the anxiety goes away. I look forward to seeing and hearing you and your friends play in person. It also drives my anxiety away. Hugz to you all. Music.....mmmmmmm

[@octaviusmanago8640]

It's refreshing to know young kids reviving music from my generation. I am going 63 now I think this is really cool. Much love from the Philippines - "keep on truckin"

[@mikefriedman593]

I just found out about you and your music 2 days ago and I love the songs you play, your guitar and Toni. You guys are most awesome. Keep up the great work. Nothing like music. It makes you smile even if you are having the worst day. I have tried the guitar and struggle with it. I also am learning accordion.

[@ironworksmultisport]

I know this is a seven year old video, but I just wanted to thank you for sharing about your anxiety. I deal with that too and it really helps to know that someone as amazing and talented as yourself has some of the same struggles. And thanks for all the amazing music!

[@MrWmburr7]

I love chess and Chinese buffets . . . but those may be the ONLY things we have in common. Btw, that cover of "Stuck in the middle with You" is my absolute favorite thing to listen to. Man, when that bass player kicks in at the beginning, the whole thing becomes magical. I'll sometimes just put it on a loop while I'm doing something else. As many times as I've listened to it, the song never gets old.

[@davidjackson777]

I'm 70 and have been a fan for several years of you and all those you video with. Listening to the Sunday morning songs and songs of your friends is always a relaxing time. I play slow blues myself and would love to hear your renditions of some of the classics. I also want to share this with you and anyone else who has to deal with anxiety. A friend asked me to consider Ashwagandha. Did my research and finally found something that really works and is a natural herb. I'm no longer in the dread, fight or flight mode. Best wishes and God Bless!

[@jimtriolo7307]

Love your music…There is a purity about it that makes it even more special..

[@matthewfield8018]

I’m always late to everything but so glad I came across her TikTok’s. Then I found out she was a musician and now I’m just hooked. So witty, smart, seems sweet as can be.

[@gbkw83]

Recently began listening to your music. I love it. Love you and Toni's harmonies. Thank you for sharing your more personal side!

[@vdesign8]

hey I'm 60 & a freelance artist & also a musician. I have had anxiety for a few decades ... it's manageable, you just need to learn about it & develop tools to help re-regulate your nervous system in those moments (yes MUSIC is perfect for this) ... good on you for not letting it stop you perform or tour! Love your vids, btw.

[@scaredypicker]

I also suffer badly with anxiety, and I also find that playing music helps me... Unfortunately I’m not much good! But good enough for my own entertainment. Keep on doing what you’re doing - you’re great :)

[@frankrault3190]

Wished you had no anxieties, obviously. However, your music so often takes away mine! Guess I'm not the only one! Thanks for your great music!

[@richlight]

You know, I found you a month or so ago, and you have become one of my favorite vocalists ever. Your awesome. Yeah this video is old, but it's new to me lol.

[@13magic74]

* you're

[@muserwood]

OK, I've suffered from severe anxiety for decades, and finally learned it's really all in our heads. So, what I did, was calmed myself through breathing deeply for one minute. Then I told myself that if I can control myself for a minute I can certainly calm myself for two minutes. If you believe it, it is true. then five minutes, 20 minutes, and so on. In a very short time, you KNOW that you are really in control. I have medication, but I never use it. It's just there as a backup. Hope this helps you as much as it helped me. Thanks for sharing and looove your singing/music btw.

[@gillygil8747]

We missed you in Denver this past June. I love your music. I would love to know more about your group. Your interactions seem to be really intimate. You guys are down right lovable.

[@ImaginerImagines]

Just saw this. Your other videos drew me in. It only took 9 years to be an overnight success. :) You have talent and even an old man like me is tickled by it. So keep being you and being awesome. The world needs fantastic, talented, intelligent people like you. I have laughed and cheered through more than one of your videos. Grok out. Live long and prosper. May the force (and tunes) be with you.

[@chizkiyahu2010]

Thank you for sharing yourself, your not alone most artist have something going on. Keep up the great work and blessings.

[@trackie1957]

7 years hence, I hope you are doing better with the anxiety. You give so much joy, I hope some bounces back to you.

[@alpelletier6199]

Thank you for sharing Reina. The anxiety part was particularly special. I am 70 (yes seventy) and have had issues with this since I was 12. Yet I did some of the most dangerous work (Flying on Helicopters off Destroyers and a full 25 year career in the RCAF). Yet, like you, when I was working, the anxiety went away. I have a fear of heights (Yup). Yet I could be hoisted down on a cable to a ship below and that didn't bother me. Don't ask me to go on my roof though !!! So, the bad news is that it probably will always be there. The good news is that you are a very talented young lady, and you have an escape. I am a super fan and probably one of many thousands. And yes, I will buy your album. I feel that I know you now and that makes it special!

My 1st memory of YOU was the Harvest Moon (Neil Young cover) video. I was captured by the talent of that ensemble & background. I know you are a word smith, but your soft delivery is special and appreciated. You are a BRAVE young lady to put yourself on stage for all to view as you grow over time. Now in my 80's, I am very Blessed for KZbin that affords me this joy. Thank you! PS, consider a cover of the late Kate Wolf who had a similar magic with her delivery.

[@leithp]

Well, the running should help with the Chinese Buffet. :-) Well up to now pretty much the only thing I knew about you was I liked your music. So clearly you know how to make music, and you do it well. Now I know 11 more things, which brings the total to approximately 12. You know I'm always nervous before playing in public until it's time to sing, and as soon as I open my mouth, I'm fine. Which I think is weird. I think it's because at that point everyone expects me to sing and figure I'd look dumber if I just stood there dumbstruck. I'm not a natural ham or show off in any way, so I always think people will think "who do you think you are?!" if I start singing. But oddly, they don't. You almost have to push me into doing it, but once I'm doing it, I really enjoy it and people don't seem to mind. Well maybe they're just being polite. See? I can't get away from it.

I played drums in loud rock bands for about 30 years to the point of damaging my hearing, moreso in the left ear. A lot of shows, a couple a week sometimes. Bars or small clubs mostly around my hometown DC, Atlanta, and Athens GA. You would never guess how I'm an introvert with paralyzing stage fright. During that interval between sound check and show, those hours and hours, I would pace like a panther in a zoo cage and chain smoke and try not to consume mass quantities of beer. Then we'd hit the first note in front of people and all the anxiety melted away. Also love to play chess.

[@rickvia8435]

I was always introverted growing up. I started playing bass, then guitar and was in a couple of bands. By 18, I was playing bass and singing lead in a pretty tight band. There's something about playing and WANTING to be out front that makes it easier. Still nervous, but a good kind of nervous. Lately I just manage to piss off my neighbors playing with myself on guitars. I haven't played my bass in months.
