Jenni Rivera Tickets - Signature Singer of the Mexican Market

The '90s seemed to be the decade where several cultures entered the music industry, and without a doubt Jenni Rivera -- a young lady born and raised in Long Beach, California, surprisingly -- made her statement. She fit into the Mexican style of music quite well given her parents were immigrants from Mexico. And when 1994 came around, Capitol/EMI's latin division took notice of the apparent talent and signed her immediately for her first album.

Jenni Rivera Tickets - The Music of Rivera

Her first album was Chacalosa was released in 1995 to some good reviews, enough to get a second and third album going under the label. As an honorable mention, one of her albums under the label was an homage to the late and great Latina star Selena, title being Adios a Selena. She then switched to Sony's Latin division in the late '90s to continue her career in the industry. Some of her hits include 'Las Malandinas' in 1999 and 'Querida Socia' around 2000 when she released the albums Que Me Entierren con la Banda and Dejate Amar through Fonovisa.

Jenni Rivera Tickets - The Sound and Style of Rivera

Typically when dealing with Latin stars, you're getting an up-tempo pop-style number. Just take a look at all the Enrique Iglesias's and Selena's and Marc Anthony's. Jenni Rivera, however, is a unique image. Her special style of music is something called 'banda,' also known as corrido in Mexico -- a mariachi-style, loose and tempered ballad-like sound. Forget the fact that Rivera is absolutely gorgeous and wholesome -- she fills in a niche all by herself and takes many Mexican-Americans back to their roots -- right in the heart of Mexico.
