Avelina LandÃn RodrÃguez (10 November 1919 â 21 February 1991) was a Mexican singer, considered "one of the great and distinctive voices of Mexican bolero music".
She was born in Mexico City to Irineo LandÃn Jauregui and Magdalena RodrÃguez Moreno. She was the elder sister of singer MarÃa Luisa LandÃn, with whom she formed the duets Pirita y Jade and Hermanas LandÃn in the 1930s. Together they recorded several singles and were very successful on radio, especially on the XEQ station. Avelina retired from singing when she married Ãngel Zempoaltecatl Ortega, and MarÃa Luisa began her solo career. When she resumed her career years later, Avelina, as a soloist, had a very important place on the XEW station and recorded her hits for the RCA VÃctor label. LandÃn died of cardiac arrest in Mexico City and was interred at Mausoleos del Ãngel.
