Joya (English: "jewel") is a brand of fruit sodas introduced in 1942 in Monterrey, Mexico by mineral water producers Cia. Topo Chico (now a division of Embotelladoras Arca, the second largest Coca-Cola bottling group in Mexico) Joya was available only in the Mexican states of Nuevo Leon and the north of Tamaulipas; then, in 2004, Joya distribution started in Coahuila, and part of San Luis Potosí, and in 2005 in Sinaloa, Chihuahua and Baja California. In 2004 Joya was acquired by The Coca-Cola Company, and in 2006 Joya was introduced in Hidalgo, part of Morelos and part of Puebla .
Joya is the fifth album by Will Oldham, but the first (and only to date) album billed to his name, rather than the Palace or Bonnie 'Prince' Billy monikers. It was released in 1997 on Drag City. It also features Bob Arellano, Colin Gagon, and David Pajo.
Some copies of the album included a bonus disc entitled Little Joya (Drag City littleDC107), which was later reissued as a separate single in 1998 (Drag City DC107X).
In 2007, when the album became available for download through iTunes, the artist credit was changed to Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, with altered artwork reflecting the change.
Joyà is a 70 minute long, resident show at the Vidanta resort in the Riviera Maya, Mexico produced as a collaboration between 45 degrees and its parent company Cirque du Soleil. It is Cirque's first resident show in Latin America. Joya premiered on November 8, 2014 inside the custom-built Joyà theatre, which seats 600 guests at capacity. The exterior design of the theatre was inspired by organic forms in a clearing surrounded by trees. The story, set in a naturalist's library which transforms into other exotic locations, follows the journey of a "rebellious young girl [who] is sent by her mischievous grandfather on a fantastical quest spanning generations".
Unlike other Cirque du Soleil productions, Joya is an "intimate theatrical and culinary experience" in that patrons have the option to enjoy the show along with a specially designed degustation menu at private tables around the stage, or simply have a glass of champagne with canapés on top of the show ticket. The show also incorporates smell into the acts, providing an all-around "feast for the senses".
