American singer-songwriter Lupillo Rivera is also known as Guadalupe Rivera Saavedra. He received praise from the critics in 2010 after his album, Te Esclavo y Amo, won a Grammy.
Lupillo is from a musical family; Jenni Rivera, a well-known singer, and actress was his late sister. He worked as a coach for La Voz, a Mexican singing competition program on TV Azteca, for its first season in 2019.
Owner of a recording company and studio (Cintas Acuario), Lupillo’s father, Pedro Rivera, gave his son his start in the music business by employing him to work at the facility.
After a vocalist failed to show up for a recording session, Lupillo began working at his father’s studio despite his initial desire to become a restaurateur.
Lupillo was given the responsibility of looking for local musicians who might sign with his father’s company by scoping them out in bars. Lupillo used the stage name “El Torito” Lupillo Rivera when he first started singing, and as his popularity rose, he later adopted the name “El Toro del Corrido.”
Lupillo may have chosen the nickname “El Toro” since his uncle was a well-known professional boxer in Mexico with the name “El Toro Rivera.”
