At a very young age, Yuri showed artistic interest and she was accepted to a famous Russian ballet. However, she wasn't allowed to join because her parents were afraid of the prospect of little Yuri living in a foreign country.
When Yuri was 12, she participated in two famous Mexican television children's shows for Televisa, including the Cepillin show.
In the late 1970s, she released her first album and represented Mexico in the Festival Oti, reaching second place and winning an award as the best newcomer to the contest. In 1980, she was signed to a contract by Gamma Records, and her career took off, becoming widely known in Spain, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Argentina, and many other hispanic countries. But before she gained international superstar status, in 1982, she participated again in the Festival OTI, earning a fourth place.
During the rest of the 1980s, Yuri's albums often reached the top, earning her over 100 gold albums in Mexico. One of Yuri's most memorable hits of the late 1980s is the disco-styled "Que Te Pasa."
In 1994, Yuri and Chayanne were the stars of the Volver a Empezar telenovela, and in 1995, she married a Chilean musician. Later, she became a born-again Christian and has made Christian albums. Although there was some controversy as she decided to sing non Christian music again.
In 2005, she was chosen to host the new TV season of a talent contest for newcoming singers, Objetivo Fama that began in 2004.
Yuri was a judge on the second season of Cantando Por un Sueño. She also was a judge during its first season and performed several times on the show.
In 2006, Yuri released an album with a Mexican singer, Mijares, called Acompañame. Its title track, Acompañame, is a sentimental romantic ballad.
Many call Yuri "La Madonna Mexicana," i.e. "The Mexican Madonna" (although this characterization has also been applied to Gloria Trevi.)

La Bamba
Yuri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Una poca de gracia y otra cosita
Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba y arriba ire
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, por ti sere,
Por ti sere, por ti sere.
Bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba
Bamba.
Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa mi pa ti
Ay y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba y arriba ire
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan,
Soy capitan, soy capitan.
Bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba.
The lyrics to Yuri's song "La Bamba" speak to the simplicity, yet energy required to dance the Bamba. The first lines state that "a little bit of grace" is needed to dance it, along with "another little something." The repetition of "arriba," translated to "up," invokes a sense of elevation and movement. The next lines state "I am not a sailor, but for you, I'll be one." This implies the willingness to do anything for the person they are dancing with. The chorus repeats "bamba" several times, emphasizing the simplicity of the dance and how it is all about the passion and energy one puts into it. The second verse emphasizes that it only takes a little bit of grace for "me and you" to dance it, and then the repetition of "arriba" continues. The final lines state that "I am not a sailor, but a captain." This implies a sense of control and leading the dance with confidence.
