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.

Que ya no me quieres
Si tú me has dicho
Que ya no me amas
¿Por qué me buscas por las mañanitas?
¿Por qué me buscas por las nochecitas?
A tu corazón no debes engañar
Porque tú sabes que yo a ti te amo
Porque tú sabes que tú a mí me amas
Porque tú sabes que tú me amas
Porque tú sabes que yo a ti te amo
Si por tramposo
Te alejaste
Pasando el tiempo quieres volver
Te cuidado bandido
Que la misma ya no seré
Si tú me has dicho
Que ya no me quieres
Si tú me has dicho
Que ya no me amas
¿Por qué me buscas por las mañanitas?

The lyrics to La Tigresa del Oriente's song "Si tú ya no me quieres" express the singer's feelings towards an ex-lover who has told her that they no longer love her. Confused by their actions and unsure of their intentions, the singer questions why they continue to seek her out in the morning and night if they no longer have feelings for her. She warns the ex-lover not to play games with her heart and not to deceive themselves about their true feelings for her. The chorus reiterates the love that the singer has for the ex-lover and reminds them that they also love her, despite their current situation.
The singer then addresses the fact that the ex-lover had left her due to being unfaithful, and warns them that if they seek to return after some time has passed, she may not be the same person they left behind. The lyrics express a sense of frustration and hurt mixed with a strong sense of self-worth and determination to not let herself be played with.
