La Misma Gran Señora

La Misma Gran Señora

Released just two days after her sudden death in a plane crash, this collects the biggest hits from the Mexican superstar's too-brief career. Making few concessions to modern pop, Rivera worked in the regional banda style, often accompanied only by horns. The drama comes from her theatrical delivery of the lyrics. On the new title track, a sequel to the elegant earlier hit "La Gran Señora," she struts and swears that a recent divorce hasn't dampened her spirit over a cacophony of brass. It's the perfect way for fans to remember her.
