Ana Barbara – Santa Anita Fair

This past Sunday, August 1st, 2021, Ana Barbara’s 2021 tour made a stop in Arcadia, Ca to perform at Santa Anita’s annual music festival. Ana Bárbara skyrocketed to celebrity in Mexico in the mid-’90s and was quickly crowned “La Reina Grupera,” for she not only dominated the grupero movement, but she was one of the driving forces behind the style’s realization. Bárbara’s music is often categorized as ranchera but grupero is a more accurate description, there are so many different aspects of her music, including elements of norteño as well as Latin pop. Everyone was up dancing and signing along to her music while enjoy all of the other fair activities.
