Lupillo & Jackie Rivera Reunite to Record A Song In Honor of Jenni Rivera

En español

Fans of Jenni Rivera and her family have been deeply moved by the announcement of a new collaboration between Jacqie, the youngest daughter of the Diva de la Banda, and her uncle Lupillo Rivera, Jenni's brother.

The project, unveiled on the artists' social media, is a heartfelt tribute to Jenni.

Jacqie and Lupillo have joined forces to create a new version of the song 'Yo te extrañaré,' originally by the Christian group Tercer Cielo. The song, which speaks about grief and loss, honors the memory of the late artist, who tragically passed away in a plane crash in 2012.

On her social media, Jacqie expressed how emotional this project has been for her and shared her gratitude for working on it with her uncle. She highlighted how the song has been a way to keep her mother's memory alive.

"I'm so excited to sing this song with my uncle @lupilloriveraofficial in remembrance of my momma. I hope you all love it... and it's okay to cry," the artist wrote on her Instagram page.

Additionally, Jacqie and Lupillo have shared teasers of the song, which feature family photos of Jenni Rivera. These visuals have heightened the anticipation among fans for the song's release.

The tribute will be available on all digital platforms starting December 6.

The song, dedicated to Jenni Rivera, known as 'La Gran Señora,' brings to mind her remarkable career, which made her one of the greatest icons in Mexican music.
