Eva's first exposure to public performances of music took place at church functions, local parties and over the local radio station. Subsequently, she entered several amateur competitions in San Antonio and was awarded several prizes.[1] By 1932 she embarked upon a series of performances on KABC radio which lasted for several years. She also performed in the popular radio show La Hoira Anahuac as well as in various vaudeville acts at the Nacional Theatre with Netty y Jesús and Don Sauve.Her early recordings of rhumbas and boleros with Bluebird Records also date from this time and include performances of: La Jaibera,Calientito, Cosquillas,Cachita and Qué Me Importa in 1936.[2][3]


After touring as the voice of the fan dancer Sally Rand in New York in 1937, Garza returned to Texas in 1938 and formed her own group billed as "Eva Garza and Her Troupe". During a three-year period between 1939 and 1942 she toured throughout Central and South America. While performing on the radio in Juarez, Mexico she met her future husband Felipe Bojalil Gil of the ensemble El Charro Gil y Sus Caporales. The couple was married in 1939 in San Antonio and eventually raised three children.[4][5]
