Lupillo Rivera bares his soul in this autobiography, which amounts to his longest, most sincere and melodramatic corrido. Lupillo was the first of the Rivera family to become famous. Early on, he displayed the special magnetism shared by his sister, Jenni, whose death devastated El Rey de los Borrachos and unleashed a series of intrigues that continue to swirl around the Rivera name. Some of them, revealed here for the first time, happened in real time during the writing of this book. The confessions here are bound to raise eyebrows for their crudeness, sincerity and drama, including a heartrending revelation with the potential to endanger a career spanning more than three decades. El Toro del Corrido holds nothing back, spilling closely guarded secrets never before revealed to the press. Starting with his childhood and continuing through the start of his career, his family, marriages, loves and tragedies, readers will learn the real story behind episodes that led to torrents of print and hours of airtime. Lupillo shares some sweet memories but is unstinting with the bitter moments as well.
