Ana Bárbara on Tour
Long-regarded in Mexico as "La Reina Grupera" – the Queen of Grupera – Ana Bárbara is one of Latin music's more complex stars. Relished as much for her sex appeal and tabloid-tantalizing personal life as for her great music, Bárbara long ago committed herself to become, as she told Billboard magazine, "more than the grupera queen who moves her hips."
Bárbara has turned into a role model for other Latina artists by taking increasing creative control of her music. Born Altagracia Ugalde Mota in 1971, she adopted her stage name in 1994. She established herself as a grupera star during the '90s and won Lo Nuestro Awards for best regional Mexican female artist in 1996, '97 and '98. Her hits from that era include "La trampa" ("The Trap") and "Ya no te creo nada" ("I Don't Believe You Anymore").
Hemmed in by her image as a guitar-slinging, cowboy-hatted grupera novelty, Bárbara reinvented herself in 2001 as a mariachi-backed ranchera singer. The strictly ranchera album Te regalo la lluvia (I Give You the Rain) featured her own songs (she would become a prolific songwriter both for herself and others) and brimmed with authenticity. The albums that followed, Te atraparé...Bandido (I'll Catch You...Bandit) and the Latin Grammy–winning Loca de Amar (Crazy for Loving) were equally strong.
Bárbara surprised her fans again by leaving music for five years to raise her family. She returned in 2009 with another artistic shock, the upbeat, urban-oriented Latin pop of Rompiendo Cadenas (Breaking Chains) produced by Dominican duo Luny Tunes. She naturally followed this with another swing back into Mexican regionalism: Yo Soy la Mujer (I Am the Woman), her first album of tuba-pumping banda music, was a nostalgic trip back to the sentimental sounds that accompanied her Central Mexico childhood.
Bárbara has increasingly become an outspoken advocate of female empowerment even as her wardrobe has grown more risqué. Her catchy, romantic songs are all the more effective as the expressions of a strong female artist who has seized the reins of her career and run with them for decades.
We were very disappointed because we bought the tickets to see we to see Majo Aguilar and it was only for Ana Barbara. We felt really bad . Ana Barbara had a great performance.
We enjoyed the show and performance by Ana blBarbara
On Friday, September, 29, 2023, Ana Barbara performed at the House of Blues, here in Houston, Texas. I had waited for years for her to come back and perform. Whether it be her wardrobe, dance moves, and her velvety, soothing voice, she definitely doesn't disappoint. I got to see her sing a duet with lead singer, Oscar De La Rosa, from the 5-time grammy award-winning musical group "La Mafia."Glad I got to attend and looking forward to her return in the future. (Check marked - off my bucket list)
Concert was great very entertaining fun, etc.. loved it. Ana lit the show 100% also loved Majo’s performance (big fan of both artists however more of Majo) loved the entrance/ opening of the mariachi then she coming out. Ana and Majo just were amazing to see live’ recommend to see them if their in your area. Was a very energetic ongoing, dancing singing concert.

Ana Barbara's concert was excellent, loved every minute of it. She has such a beautiful sounding voice! She truly loves her fans and performs at her best. Looking forward to attend another one of her concerts.
The band was awesome and Anna was at her best, loved the songs she sang and the music was great 👍
Beautiful voice, excellent performance, I have a great time 👍🏻
Ama Barbara’s performance was excellent!! I saw her 25 years ago when she first started her career and I knew then she was going to a great singer and she still is. My daughter and I wished she sang No Llorare because it is our favorite song and wished to see singing it live. Oh well maybe next time.
I would definitely see Ana Barbara/Banda Machos, again and again. It was heartwarming and memorable experience! I Ioved every minute and every second of her performance. X
ANA PUT ON A GREAT CONCERT-SHE SANG AND INTERACTED WITH THE AUDIENCE LIKE SHE APPEARS ON TV. HAD THE BEST TIME!
One of those Artists that brings a Spectacular show to all Ages. The Magazines. Award shows don’t do her Justice. Until you see her up close and in person. Nonstop entertainment for All. An event that is multi cultured. not just for Latinos only That brings you an explosion of all your senses through her beautiful voice, music, and here mere presence of power, on stage she makes it known she is the one and only all woman, she is Ana Barbara. what even more fascinated me that got my heart was her spirit with her fans during the show. She could not have been more down to Earth. Especially for those she allowed to come up and get close to the stage with there hands held high to reach out to her and some with phone cameras and Ana Barbara enjoying the moment with them while not missing a beat taking selfies nor stopping her singing throughout the concert. But addressing to all patrons of the event within the House of Blues Venue - Dallas I could just step back and appreciate at the moment her true love for her fans, here humble and beautiful spirit and also the love and respect of her fans true Love for her. Again what magazines and award shows miss. You have to go to her concert I Highly recommend the show at your nearest city as her tour continues. Will always be up front and center to her next concert. Fan for life. And this was My First show seeing Ana Barbara. Great show Gracias.
Very disappointed with House of Blues. Seats were rearranged and my party would have to be split to honor seats bought. ‘Best’ option provided was to sit in a far corner to keep my party together. Then sound malfunctioned and so did lighting! Never returning to this venue! Ana Barbara was great in spite of issues! 5 stars to her and her team!
