}} Dolores Janney "Jenni" Rivera (July 2, 1969 – December 9, 2012) was a Mexican-American singer, songwriter, actress, television producer, and entrepreneur known for her work within the regional Mexican music genre. In life and death, several media outlets including ''CNN'', ''Billboard'', ''Fox News, and ''The New York Times'' have labeled her as the most important female figure and top selling female artist in the regional Mexican music genre. Rivera began recording music in 1992. Her recordings often had themes of social issues, infidelity, and relationships. Her tenth studio album, ''Jenni'' (2008) became her first No.1 record on the ''Billboard'' Top Latin Albums chart in the United States. In 2010, she appeared in and produced the reality TV show ''Jenni Rivera Presents: Chiquis & Raq-C''. She also appeared in and produced ''I Love Jenni'' starting in 2011 through 2013 and ''Chiquis 'n Control'' in 2012. Her acting debut was in the film ''Filly Brown'', which was released in 2013. Rivera garnered nominations and awards from Latin music's most prestigious accolades. Over the course of her career she was awarded two Oye! Awards (Mexico's equivalent to the United States' Grammy Awards), two ''Billboard'' Music Awards, twenty-two ''Billboard'' Latin Music Awards, eleven ''Billboard'' Mexican Music Awards and eighteen Lo Nuestro Awards. She received four Latin Grammy nominations. She has a star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars, and she is one of the best-selling regional Mexican artists of all time, having sold more than 20 million records worldwide, also making her the highest-earning banda singer of all time. Rivera, along with six others, died in a plane crash near Iturbide, Nuevo León on December 9, 2012. Her death made international headlines for weeks. In December 2014, Mexican authorities closed the investigation on what brought the plane down. Mexican Director of Civil Aviation, Gilberto Gómez Meyer, stated that the results of the plane crash have come back inconclusive and that they are unable to determine the exact cause of the crash. Lawsuits involving the owners of the plane, Rivera's estate, and family members of those on board with Rivera have been filed in state and federal courts. ==Early life== Rivera was born and raised in Long Beach, California, to Rosa Saavedra and Pedro Rivera, who were undocumented immigrants from Mexico. Her parents raised Rivera and her sister and four brothers in a tight-knit, musical household; her brother Lupillo is also a regional Mexican musician. Rivera spoke both English and Spanish fluently.〔 Her family introduced her to traditional Mexican music, including the genres of banda, norteña, and ranchera.〔 Her father was a bartender and businessman who created the record label Cintas Acuario in 1987, which launched the career of Mexican singer and songwriter Chalino Sánchez. Rivera earned straight A's in school until her sophomore year, when at 15 she became pregnant with the first of her five children, Janney "Chiquis" Marin Rivera. She supported the two of them by selling CDs at flea markets,〔 while working toward her GED at a continuation school and graduating as class valedictorian.〔 Speaking in 2003 of her experiences as a teenage mother, Rivera explained, "Usually, when a young girl is pregnant, she drops out of school and concentrates on being a mother. I thought that's what I had to do, but my counselors told me there was no way they would let me drop out. I had too much promise."〔 She attended California State University, and obtained a college degree in business administration and worked in real estate before going to work for her father's record label. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jenni Rivera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
