As a youngster, Lupillo, his sister Jenni Rivera and the rest of the Rivera family moved to Long Beach California, where Lupillo graduated from Long Beach Polytechnic High School in 1990 (he was in the same graduating class as Snoop Dogg.)
Rivera wanted to be a restaurant owner. His father, however, was a recording studio owner. Wanting to give his son a hands-on business experience, Mr. Rivera hired his son Lupillo to work at the studio.
Lupillo was given the task of looking for local talent at bars, with the idea that some of that talent could be signed by his father's company. It was while searching for talent that he met the now deceased Chalino Sánchez, father of Adán Sánchez Also now deceased.
Lupillo's uncle was a semi-famous professional boxer, known as El Toro Rivera to Mexican boxing fans. In 1990, Lupillo discovered that he could sing, and he began performing under the nickname of "El Toro del Corrido" ("The corrido's bull (r)"), as a homage to his uncle.
By 1993, Lupillo began to sing using his own name. By then, he had already signed with Sony Discos.
His star began to rise meteorically at that point. In 2001, he was awarded a Premios lo Nuestro.
In Juarez, Chihuahua, while he was driving to a concert location, his SUV flipped over. He required hospitalization. Months later, Adán Sánchez, a years-long friend who had grown to admire and become like a little brother to Lupillo, died at the age of nineteen in another car accident, leaving Lupillo Rivera devastated.
In 2004, a Marine who died in Iraq had requested for Lupillo to sing at his funeral should the soldier die, and Lupillo complied with the request, leaving one of his famous sombreros on the Marine's burial casket during the funeral.
Rivera has been involved in controversy, tying him romantically to different women. Some women he has been linked to claim to have children from him. On April 29, 2006, he married the mother of one of his daughters.
Poco a Poco
Lupillo Rivera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como quiero yo.
Poco a poco me voy asercando a ti
Poco a poco la distancia se va asiendo menos
Yo no se si tu vives pensando en mi
Por que yo solo pienso en tu amor y en tus besos
Que bonito es querer como quiero yo
Que bonito
Entregarse todito completo
Yo nose ni pregunto como es tu amor
Por que a ti, como a mi
No nos cabe en el cuerpo
No me dijas, ke no sufriste
Ke no extrañaste todos mis besos
No me digas
Ke no lloraste
Algunas noches, que estuve lejos
Poco a poco me voy acercando a ti
Poco a poco se me llenan los ojos de llanto
Que bonito es llorar
Cuando lloro asi
Por tu amor
Junto a ti amondote tanto
Que bonito es querer
Como quiero, yo...
Para: Mi bb lindo (que esta muy lejos de mi, pero cerca de mi corazon)
De: Su beba
The lyrics to "Poco A Poco" by Lupillo Rivera are about the beauty and intensity of love. The singer expresses his strong desire for the person he loves and how he is gradually getting closer to them. He doesn't know if they think about him as much as he thinks about them, but he can't help but think of their love and kisses. He finds it beautiful to completely surrender to love, and he knows that his love for this person is reciprocated because they both feel it in their bodies. The singer questions if the person he loves suffered and missed him when he was away, but he knows that they both feel the same intense emotions for each other.
The song showcases the passion and intensity of love, and how it can bring one to tears. The lyrics urge listeners to cherish and value the power of love, no matter where they are or how far apart they are from their loved one. The phrase "poco a poco" which means "little by little" in English, is used throughout the song to describe the incremental steps the singer is taking to get closer to the person he loves.
