Banda, Jenni Rivera's musical specialty, is a blend of Mexican music and, oddly enough, German polka music. She is one of the few female singers of banda music and has gained popularity with songs like "Amiga Si Lo Ves" and "De Contrabanda." Although born in Long Beach, California, her parents were Mexican immigrants, and she is mostly famous in the Mexican music industry.
Besides the sex tape, Jenni Rivera has courted publicity recently by smashing a microphone in the face of a fan while performing in a North Carolina nightclub in June and was arrested.
