On November 22nd, MTV Tr3s kicks off its first of three programs dedicated to a much-loved genre of Latino music, Regional Mexican, with the networks’ first original “Cribs.” Banda superstar and Fonovisa recording artist Jenni Rivera will give the MTV Tr3s audience exclusive access to her home, family and life from her estate in Corona, California. The show will also feature a top 10 countdown of Latino cribs with artists such as Carlos Mencia, Paulina Rubio and Wilmer Valderrama hosted by Jenni.
Born and raised in Long Beach, California, Jenni’s music is heavily influenced by her family’s roots in Jalisco and Sonora, Mexico along with her experience as a young Latina who has faced some of life’s greater challenges. Her album “Jenni” debuted at #1 in the Billboard Latin charts in September.
“Young Latinos have put Regional Mexican music at the top of the charts and I’m so excited to have a chance to share a little slice of my life with them on MTV Tr3s,” said Jenni.
“Like the MTV Tr3s audience, fans of Regional Mexican music are young and passionate. Deepening our offering of Regional Mexican music is a direct response to what our viewers are asking for,” says Lily Neumeyer, Vice President of Programming and Production, MTV Tr3s. MTV Tr3s has been airing music videos from this genre from artists such as Los Horoscopos de Durango, Los Temerarios, Los Dareyes de la Sierra in the music block “Mix Mex” and has featured guest appearances in several shows by Tigres del Norte and Alejandro Fernandez.
The network also announced two new original series in development for 2009. One is a weekly music show and the other is a reality series based on the life of a superstar Regional Mexican artist.
“Top 10 Latino Cribs” countdown, hosted by Jenni, airs on Saturday, November 22nd from 2 – 9pm.
