Bustos became a cosmetologist at an early age. She later emigrated to Lima, expecting to be involved in show business in some way; with enough persistence, she became a makeup artist for Lima's television stations, starting an extended career that has lasted over twenty years. Her desire to sing and dance for an audience made her develop the concept for La Tigresa in 2002.
La Tigresa is well known for her leopard garb, makeup and appearance, and for the choreographies staged by her dancing troupe, which includes three women and one man. Her first single "Nuevo amanecer" (New Dawn) is a self improvement anthem that made her a Youtube sensation in Latin America. She has since been called "The Youtube Queen" by local Peruvian press.[1] Her videos for her first recording are unique, if low in budget, and were filmed in the Peruvian jungle with her "exotic" dancers. Other singles from Bustos include: Mi canoa, Fiesta en la selva, Trabaja flojo trabaja, Anaconda, Tránsfuga de amor, and Hombre de Madera, "Homenaje al Papa Juan Pablo II.
La Tigresa's stage act evokes extreme reactions from the general public in Latin America. Critics denounce her stage act as campy (at best) or kitsch (at worst) and make fun of her appearance and lack of formal vocal training, while fans adore her level of self-confidence, lyrical sincerity and respect for Peruvian folklore and traditions. In either case, her public appeal has transcended beyond Peru and has become noticed by thousands in the continent.
According to Peruvian newspaper Diario La República, Bustos has signed a contract with Warner Bros. Records México for one year. With the first payment of the contract's royalties she bought her first automobile. Some of her fans have released video tributes to her -trying to emulate her act,- and even Tigresa remixes (in techno and reggaeton versions) of her music exist.
La Tigresa Del Oriente premiered at the Official Blog which has all the news about it Blog Oficial, also came out in 2008 in the famous program "Sin Tón Ní Són" channel Ritmoson Latino Mexico.
El Baile de la Tigresa
La Tigresa del Oriente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eso, rico
Llego, llego el ritmo
De mi tierra
Rico sabor de mi amazonia
Con el baile de la tigresa
En mi cuerpo hay una fiesta
Al sonido de manguare
La maraca y el tambor
Traigo ritmo muy ardiente
Para mi gente del oriente
Para mi gente muy caliente
Calma tus penas y amargura
En lo mas alto de i selva
Con la tigresa del oriente
Toda mi gente muy caliente
Mueve tu cuerpo con sabrosura
Hasta las 5 de la mañana
Hasta que quedes borrachito
Hasta que amanezcas mojadito
The lyrics of La Tigresa del Oriente's song El baile de la tigresa celebrate the rhythm and celebration of the Amazonia region, where the artist comes from. The first verse, "Llego el baile de la tigresa, Eso, rico, Llego, llego el ritmo de mi tierra" translates to "The dance of the tigress arrived, That's rich, The rhythm of my land has come". The imagery of the tigress is used throughout the song, representing the wildness, sensuality, and strength of the people of the Amazonia region.
The chorus, "Rico sabor de mi amazonia, Con el baile de la tigresa, En mi cuerpo hay una fiesta, Ruje papi hasta que amanezca" translates to "Rich flavor of my Amazonia, With the dance of the tigress, There is a party in my body, Roar dad until dawn". This highlights the joyful and passionate nature of the Amazonian people, who celebrate with music, dance, and loudness.
The next verse, "Mueve tu cuerpo con sabrosura, Hasta las 5 de la mañana, Hasta que quedes borrachito, Hasta que amanezcas mojadito" translates to "Move your body with flavor, Until 5 in the morning, Until you get drunk, Until you wake up all wet". The sensuality of the lyrics is mirrored in the lively and spicy rhythm of the song. The use of traditional instruments such as the maraca and tambor brings an authentic Amazonian feel to the song.
