My Take
Jenni Rivera is someone I write about with reverence. A Mexican-American from Long Beach, she broke into the male-dominated world of regional Mexican music, banda, mariachi, norteño, and became a fearless voice for women who rarely heard themselves in song. Sweeping Lo Nuestro and Billboard Latin honors, she sat at the genre's summit as singer, actress, and businesswoman alike. Then came the plane crash of December 2012, taking her at just 43, a brutal, abrupt ending that only deepened her legend. To me her whole life reads like a single defiant masterpiece, and her voice is one I believe deserves to keep being heard.
