The singer blends Tejano and Norteño styles and fronted the Tejano band Grupo Límite in the ’90s before pursuing a solo career. She has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide and won two Latin Grammy awards over her 20 years in music. She is known for steamy ranchera hits like “Te Quedó Grande la Yegua” and “Insensible a Ti.”
The artist made headlines earlier this year when a powerful video of her onstage holding up the international “Signal for Help” — a coded hand gesture used to signify when someone feels threatened — went viral after a performance in Mexico. Shortly thereafter, Villarreal filed an official complaint against her ex-husband, Cruz Martinez, and pledged support to those in similar circumstances.
Fans of Villarreal can expect not only a celebration of her musical legacy, but also of resilience and empowerment.
7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8, House of Blues, $47-$60.
