Jenny Rivera

WHEN ONE is talking about Jenny Rivera, the word associated with her is queen of Banda music. She has earned her crown in her own right even though she has come from a musical family. What I also like about Jenni Rivera is that being born and raised in the United States of America does not mean giving up on one’s own culture or origin. Jenny Rivera deserves my praise for being a Latino who has been able to succeed in the Spanish speaking world, the English speaking world, and beyond. Jenni Rivera also deserves praise for being able to defend her daughters against the abuse of her former husband. Personally, I hope that he is caught and given a life sentence.

Jenni Rivera was born and raised in Long Beach, California in the year 1969. Before she started her singing career in 1999, she studied business administration and obtained a degree in real estate. Her business experience helped her father and her brother with their singing career in the business section but she still wanted to do more. It was then that she decided to add a singing career to her resume. It was something that the world has not regretted.

Jenni Rivera has been able to build her career with such hits as ‘Amiga Si Lo Ves’ (Friend If You See Him), ‘Querida Socia’ (Dear Countrywomen), ‘Las Malandrinas’ (Traditional Music), ‘Se Las Voy A Dar A Otro’ (I am Going To Tell Another Man), ‘Reina De Reinas’ (Queen of Queens), and ‘Chicana Jalisciense’ (US Born Jaliscan), which dealt with the life and times of Latin woman in the United States of America including those born in this country.

Jenni Rivera has been the recipient of many awards including the gold and platinum awards from RIAA Latin for her album ‘Mi Vida Loca’ (My Crazy Life), which includes her version of the Gloria Gaynor Classic called ‘I Will Survive’. Other songs in ‘Mi Vida Loca’ included: ‘Déjame Vivir’ (Let Me Live), ‘Inolvidable’ (Unforgettable), ‘Hermano Amigo’ (Brother, Friend), ‘Mírame’ (Look At Me), ‘Ahora Que Estuviste Lejos’ (Now You Were Far), ‘Dama Divina’ (Divine Lady), ‘Sin Capitán’ (No Captain), ‘Cuanto Te Debo?’ (How Much Do I Owe You), ‘Déjame Vivir’ (Let Me Live), ‘Donde Quedó El Amor?’ (Where Did The Love Go?). Indeed she has survived and at the present time according to Univision News, she is on her way to Orlando Florida to record with Olga Tanon. All I can say is that I wish her the best in her endeavours.
