Lupillo Rivera September 20, 2009

Known as El Toro del Corrido (Corrido's Bull), honoring a famous Mexican boxer, singer Lupillo Rivera composed his first traditional song at the age of 15, dedicated to the memory of Miguel Carlos Ortega, a good friend who passed away around that time. After graduating from a Long Beach, CA, high school, Lupillo Rivera started working for his father, singer Pedro Rivera, owner of an independent label called Cintas Acuario, and decided to pursue a solo career in 1993, calling himself Lupillo.
