Jerry Rivera, Putumayo’s ‘Latin Reggae’
Tagged: family, Jerry Rivera, Puerto Rican
It’s tough to be a salsa star these days.
With so much competition from reggaeton, hip-hop and pop, what’s a salsero to do? Increasingly, some are turning to pop. Among them is Puerto Rican singer Jerry Rivera. On March 29, Rivera headlines the 20th annual Maroone Hispanic Fest at Pines Recreation Center, 7400 Pines Blvd., Pembroke Pines.
Rivera comes from a musical family and has been singing since age 6. Now 34, Rivera is a salsa veteran. He is known for his baby-faced looks that inspired Cara de Niño, one of his signature songs. He has a wide following, having emerged from the so-called “salsa romantica” period of the 1980s.”*
