HOT PICKS
Friday
Mexican: Gloria Trevi is regarded as the "Madonna of Mexico." The singer, songwriter, dancer, actress and businesswoman has enjoyed a successful career but endured a four-year prison sentence in Mexico and Brazil on suspicion of human trafficking. The charges were later dropped and when Trevi reemerged in 2004, she released her sixth album "Cómo Nace el Universo," which sold over 100,000 copies in the U.S. and began a wave of international success.
In 1991, she made her acting debut in the Mexican film "Pelo Suelto," has appeared on Mexican TV shows such as "Drag Race España" and Mexican soap operas.
Trevi will perform on Friday at Acrisure Arena.

Some of the featured songs are "Bathrooms Are Coming!" and "Diesel Dazzle."
