Considerado un pionero quien introdujo instrumentos modernos a la dotación acostumbrada dentro de la música tropical y de cumbia (guitarras eléctricas, sintetizadores, bajo eléctrico y efectos de sampleo, y hasta batería eléctrica).
Rigo empezó su carrera musical en Houston, Texas a principios de los 1970's. Fue el creador del grupo "El Costa Azul", el nombere vino de una cantina/bar en Houston, después sus hermanos se hicieron parte del grupo. Su primer álbum Matamoros Querido de 1971 incluyó el tema homónimo y "Lamento de Amor" que fueron las que le abrieron las puertas musicalmente hablando a los Estados Unidos. Aparte de cantar canciones escritas por otros, Rigo era compositor no solo de la letra, pero también de los aspectos musicales de sus canciones.
A finales de los 70´s y principios de los 80´s, Rigo Tovar se presenta an el programa televisivo Siempre en Domingo, presentado por Raùl Velasco. Fue tal el èxito y las ventas producidas por Rigo Tovar y su Costa Azul que de de ahí surgiò una empresa disquera propiedad de Televisa cuyo artista fundador fue Rigo Tovar, segùn lo comentò el mismo Raùl Velasco en un programa por televisiòn.

Rigo Tovar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De mi guitarra de mis tarolas y mi canción
Yo solo fuí para tí un loco senacional
Escandaloso, despreocupado y vascilador
No comprendiste que soy artista de corazón
Yo te quería y mis canciones te hablan de amor
Pero estoy seguro que recordarás
En todas mis canciones yo te supe amar
Cuando tu bailabas con este compás
Pero estoy seguro que recordarás
Al músico chiflado que siempre tocaba
En todas mis canciones yo te supe amar
Cuando tu bailabas con este compás
Me recordarás, cariño mío
Me recordarás, por mi matamoros
Me recordarás, por la sirenita
Por que fuí tu amor
Me recordarás, cariño mío
Me recordarás, por la minifalda
Me recordarás, por el no que no
Por que fuí tu amor
