Chiquis Rivera has a lot to celebrate this year — including her first-ever Latin Grammy nomination, which she describes as a “beautiful surprise.”
“When I woke up to the news, I was overflowed with joy and so much appreciation,” the Regional Mexican singer tells Billboard. “God was with me. That’s why I cried so much — and I had to share it with people, because I feel that I represent that person who they say, ‘You can’t do it,’ and they close doors in your face.”
Chiquis is nominated for best banda album for Playlist, released via Fonovisa / Universal Music Group Recordings in June. She ‘s up against colleagues Banda La Ejecutiva De Mazatlán Sinaloa, Banda Lirio, La Arrolladora Banda El Limón De René Camacho, and La Séptima Banda.
