Jerry Rivera is one of the most popular acts of all time in the salsa genre, and now, in the fourth decade of his career, he's still going strong. In concert, the now-40-year-old singer continues to delight old fans and new with the same strong, clear pop voice and boyish charm that we've all grown to love. Many in the Latin music community have started using more samples and pre-recorded music, even in their live performances, but there’s an immediacy and scintillating energy to hear this music played live, and Rivera captures that so perfectly. That’s why he's still selling tickets, as well as records. His recent 2011 album, "El Amor Existe," spawned the biggest salsa hit of the year, “Solo Pienso En Ti,” and the title track hit No. 2 on the Billboard Tropical Songs chart in 2012.
This is only the latest success for Rivera, who earned the nickname "El Bebé de La Salsa" after getting signed to CBS Music and recording his first hit, 1989’s “ De La Cabeza A Los Pies,” at the age of 16. Three years later, Rivera became an international sensation when his third album, "Cuenta Conmigo," became the best-selling salsa album in history and stayed at the top of the Latin American Billboard chart for three consecutive months. Hits like "Casi Un Hechizo," "Suave," "Ese" and "Quiero" followed. Rivera now has 20 studio albums, eleven No. 1 hits on the Billboard Tropical Songs chart and nominations at both the Grammy Awards and Latin Grammy Awards. Rivera will continue to tour throughout the US and beyond in 2014.
Great show. Good combination of artists for salsa music lovers. You should bring more shows like this to town.
the comedian that started the concert was hilarious. Would love to see him again. Victor Manual, Jerry Rivera, and Tito Nieves were awesome! I truly enjoyed the concert. This was my first time at MGM Foxwood Theater and I was impressed.
LOVED seeing Jerry Rivera performing in Vacaville, CA. It is always a delight to listen to him and see him on stage. He is just AMAZING! Can't wait for him to come back. =)
love his music still listen to his music after 15 yrs
Jerry Rivera was excellent, I would see him again if he were to return to San Diego.
$98 for two tickets... for a 50 min concert in a barely walkable venue (claustrophobic) was simply a slap in the face for those that work hard to give their wives a nice worthwhile date.. It was a discrace of concert and a complete disrespect to his fans... Never going to the bb king venue again. I want every penny back.
The first time I went (last year) the show was twice as long. Jerry had a good show and did not sing the same songs. However, he was late and only sang for 50 min. there were two dancers who went unnoticed but overall pretty good.
Jerry did sing for a long time - about an hour and a half, but he never danced, didn't even take off his coat. I didn't feel he managed to get the crowd energized. Also, his dress attire was average, nothing impressive. I thought there were actually guys at the concert better dressed than Jerry. I wish it would've lived up to my expectations, but unfortunately it didn't. I should've figured that's how it would've been considering the price for the tickets. Oh well you live and learn.
Best Concert that I have been to by far. I have never had so much fun. So many amazing songs.
JERRY RIVERA IS JUST THE BEST OF THE BEST!! I'VE BEEN HIS FAN FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT HE CAME ONCE AGAIN TO CALIFORNIA TO SING FOR US. WE MISSED HIM A LOT!!! HIS VOICE WAS SWEETER THAN EVER , HIS PERFORMANCE WAS OUTSTANDING, AND THE BAND SOUNDED GREAT!! THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE WAS JUST MAGICAL. I REALLY HOPE HE COMES BACK SOON. LOVED THE SHOW!! JERRY, I LOVE YOU!!!..
jerry was amazing performer...my girlfriend was so exited...was a wonderful surprise...!!!
I've been a Jerry Rivera fan for so many years. I couldn't believe when I found out he was going to be performing at the Conga Room. His performance was outstanding, and the fact that he sang most of the songs I was hoping to listen to at the concert was a super plus.
Jerry was very energetic! made you feel as if you were watching a video it was so perfect! his voice was great, for someone who's been a singer for as long as he has he still has it. The band was great as well. It seemed as though they really have a passion for what they do. Great performance guys!
amazing!!! went to the stage twice!!!! and gave him lots of kisses. I just love him!!!!!! I wish he could come more often =)
Watching Jerry Rivera live on stage was everything I hoped for. Though he only sang a handful of songs, he was amazing! Dancing and talking to the crowd in the Sexy way only he can... The instuments had great sound and Jerry live sounded like Jerry on CD, it was great! My only complaint about the entire night was the crowd; standing-room was not fun. You had a lot of girls thinking they were bad and wanting to start fights because people would push trying to get to get to Jerry every once in a while... They were ghetto! The show was great though, it seemed to go by quickly but it was fun watching Jerry sing amores como el nuestro and girls climbing up the stage and giving Jerry hugs and kisses. Oh yeah, and the secret meet and greet at the end was the icing on the cake ( after the show, ask the security guard where to go to meet him and he'll tell you).
The show was very entertaining. Jerry was in a romantic mood and so was I. I took the time during one of his most popular songs (Amores Como El Nuestro) to propose to my lady. She wasn't expecting it and thought I was just singing along, but the song did most of the talking. Awesome experience!!
I loved the concert. He sang for two hours straight. He sounds just like he did when he came out 20 years ago and he was sweet and tentative to the crowd of screaming ladies.
Had a great time. Wonderful performance and the attention was excellent
Jerry Rivera was only 10 mins late which compared to other artist he was on time. He gave an amazing show. He also had people singing all along to his songs. Of course the place was packed and the dance floor was full of people but it was all worth it!
Jerry has a wonderful voice and of course he was incredible! However, the show was too short! One hour is simply not enough. Another major disappointment was the fact that when I arrived all the seating areas were reserved. I was not aware that there wouldn't be enough seats for everyone when the ticket was purchased. This should have been made clear when buying the ticket. Regardless, we were able to stand in front of the stage and see him up close, which made up for it.
