Rivera is the recipient of countless international honors and accolades, including 10 Grammy nominations® and the award for Best Band Album in 2009 for his album, “Esclavo y Amo.” Additionally, he has paved the way for other artists of his genre, being the first Mexican regional artist to play major venues, including the Universal Amphitheatre in 2002.
Having achieved gold and platinum records for highest album sales in Mexico, the United States and others, Rivera’s vast discography includes notable titles such as, “Desprciado,” “Sufriendo a Solas,” “El Rey De Las Cantinas,” “24 Horas,” and “Entre Copas y Botellas.” His quality works are characterized by a solid voice, reminiscent of yesteryear classics, but with the freshness of contemporary production.
