Jenni Rivera's Family Announces Tribute Book Filled With Personal Photos and Diary Entries
Jenni Rivera's family is making sure the late singer's legacy continues to live on in pop culture.
According the Contact Music, a book about the singer's life, titled "Jenni Vive: Unforgettable Baby!" will be published on Oct. 15. The book, officially authorized by the Jenni Rivera Estate, will feature a personal look into the singer's much publicized about life.
The late star's oldest daughter, Chiquis Rivera, who is also a singer, made the announcement on her Instagram account.
She captioned the photo, "Order the beautiful book of photos of Jenni Rivera. We wanted to share never before seen photos, pictures with fans, letters written to her kids and family and parts of her diary. We continue her legacy and this way you can learn more about the unbreakable woman."
Rivera died in a plane crash in 2012. Since her death her family has continued efforts to keep the singer's memory alive by hosting the "Jenni Vive" concert.
Stars like Becky G, Luz Maria and Banda Los Recoditos, along with Chiquis Rivera, all participated in the tribute concert and performed songs in honor of the late singer.
What Selena Quintanilla was for Tejano music, Rivera was for regional Mexican music. After her death, various media outlets, including The New York Times, described Rivera as one of the most influential Latino female artists of all time.
Throughout her career the singer sold over 15 million records and broke barriers for women in banda music, a genre dominated by men, with her breakout song "Las Malandrinas." The song described women who love to party and don't allow themselves to be exploited by men.
Rivera set a reputation for herself as an enduring and strong woman throughout her career, Mexican culture and personal life.
"Mexican music runs through my veins," she said in 2012. "That's all I heard. I had no choice. We had our own music stands in the local swap meets. We sold cassette tapes at the time, and that's how we made a living."
