On the tenth anniversary of Jenni Rivera’s passing, here are five songs in her honor.

Ten years have gone since Jenni Rivera, dubbed the “Diva de la Banda,” died away. At the time of her death, the 43-year-old American singer was performing in Mexico.

In addition to empowering women via her music, Jenni Rivera also helped others who aspired to break into the still-dominantly male regional Mexican music scene. The artist has more than 30 songs on the Regional Mexican chart, according to Billboard magazine. 25 of her tracks were also included in the Hot Latin Songs.

After the jet carrying him from Monterrey to Mexico City crashed in northern Mexico, Rivera perished. The plane was discovered at the La Colorada ejido in the Nuevo León state’s Iturbide municipality.

These are some of the songs of the “Diva de la Banda” that people remember the best.

We begin the list with “Basta ya,” a song by Marco Antonio Sols that was performed not only by Jenni Rivera but also by Olga Taón, known as the “lady of fire.”

This song, which Taón sang on her 1999 album “Olga viva, viga Olga,” was a turning point in her career.

2011 saw the release of Jenni Rivera’s album “Joyas prestadas,” in which the singer covers eleven well-known songs in two different arrangements—one with her regular band and the other with a pop ensemble. Rivera and the song’s creator, Marco Antonio Solis, worked together to create the version that appears on this album.

According to Billboard, Jenni Rivera’s song “Basta ya” peaked at number six on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart in 2011.

This was Rivera’s last album to be released while he was still alive.

The “neighborhood butterfly” Jenni Rivera eventually overcame traditional Mexican music to become known as the “Diva de la Banda.”

The forgetting won’t happen,

The song “No llega el olvido” can be found on the 2009 album “La gran seora.” According to Spotify, this is one of the singer’s most well-known tracks.

The song, which Rivera wrote and produced herself, has had more than 80.3 million views on the Swedish streaming service. It is Rivera’s most popular song overall.

“Result”

Two years after the singer’s death, this song, according to Billboard, came in at number two on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart in 2014.

The large woman

Another one of the “Diva de la Banda’s” best-remembered songs is this one. It was included on the live CD “La gran seora,” which was published in 2020 and dates back to 2009.

“Unforgettable”

The list is concluded with “Inolvidable,” one of Jenni Rivera’s most popular and defining songs. It is the fourth most streamed song on the singer’s Spotify profile, with over 64.6 million views.

After a breakup, the song speaks about loving oneself.

The powerful song is opened by Rivera with the lyrics, “The greatest thing I can hope for you is that things go wrong for you / And the worst thing you can do is desire to return / The best thing in your life was me, you can’t dispute it / And the worst thing in my life is you today I just found out.”

The song peaked at number 13 on the Latin Songs list of Billboard and number 5 on the Regional Mexican Songs chart.
