Jerry Rivera: Platinum-Selling Salsa Superstar

Heartthrob seems too restrictive a phrase to describe Jerry Rivera, the Puerto Rican singer who has sold more albums than any other salsa artist in history. For Rivera doesn't just make the heart throb -- he makes the skin flush, and the shoulders bob and the feet get up and "dance". The most popular of the new generation of "salseros", Rivera has sold millions of albums and been nominated for both the Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards. Now the superstar behind hits like "No Hieras Mi Vida," "Casi un Hechizo" and "Tal Vez" comes to perform a night of salsa, merengue and bachata at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in the Bronx.
