BergenPAC Presents Jerry Rivera

(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- Bergen Performing Arts Center (BergenPAC) presents Jerry Rivera, a GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum selling salsa singer from Puerto Rico, on Friday, February 12, 2016 at 8:00pm.  Tickets range from $39 to $99.

Jerry Rivera has been active as a recording artist since he was a teenager. In 1992 he released the hit album, Cuenta Conmigo, charting #1 on the Billboard Tropical albums chart for the better part of the year. His artistic diversity and ability to captivate a demographically diverse fan base makes him one of the biggest musical acts in the world. Jerry joined La Voz Peru as a mentor/coach in 2013. During the course of his career he has sold over 10 million albums and charted eleven #1 singles.

Rivera was dubbed "El Bebé de la Salsa" (the baby of salsa) after recording his first album, Empezando A Vivir. This project generated the hit, De La Cabeza A Los Pies (Head Over Heels).

His second album, Abriendo Puertas (Opening Doors), produced the hit songs Esa Niña (That Girl), Dime (Tell Me), Nada Sin Ti (Nothing Without You), and Como un Milagro (Like a Miracle) became number one hits first in Puerto Rico, then among the Hispanic populations in the United States and finally across Latin America.

His third album, Cuenta Conmigo (Count on Me), won three Platinum Record awards in the United States, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Colombia. It became the most-sold salsa album in history, a record previously held by Willie Colón, and held the number-one spot in the Latin American Billboards for three consecutive months. Its hit songs included Cuenta Conmigo, Me Estoy Enamorando (I'm Falling in Love) and Casi Un Hechizo (Almost A Spell). The number one hit for the album was Amores Como El Nuestro (Love Like Ours) which is considered to be the best song by Rivera. Rivera was awarded two Premio Lo Nuestro Awards for "Singer of the Year" and "Album of the Year" and Sony Records presented him with three Crystal Awards.

Bergen Performing Arts Center (BergenPAC) is located at 30 North Van Brunt Street in Englewood, NJ.
