the critics Allmusic: "[T]he fact that Rivera is a major female star makes her a rarity for the banda/corrido field. While Mexican music has had plenty of famous female artists over the years, banda has tended to be male-dominated. Allmusic: "[O]ne of regional Mexican music's most influential female voices. Next to artists like Rocío Dúrcal and Selena, Beltran is credited with helping to form the genre, as well as solidifying a woman's place in it.
