Over the years he has become “more patient”, although this does not mean that he has given up dreaming: “imagine life without having a dream”, says Mexican Carlos Rivera to EFE, who, despite the current times, continues to demand “useful” music that accompanies the life of the public, that connects with them.<\/p>\n
And this despite the fact that he recognizes that “there is less and less space” for genres like his, although, be that as it may, “music is like water, it finds its channel sooner or later”. “Maybe a song I release now can be more or less successful, but with the passage of time there will always be someone who will listen to it”. <\/p>\n

Born in Huamantla in 1986, he is Mexico’s ambassador at the International Tourism Fair (Fitur) in Madrid, a city where he is “happy” and feels at home after playing Simba in the musical ‘The Lion King’ for seven years, a role that marked the definitive start of his career after a long time “chipping away at the rock”.<\/p>\n
“I arrived in Madrid when I was 25 years old. At that time I was a dreamer, but I felt that something was missing. I had been searching for many years for what I wanted so much and although I didn’t get it, in my heart I always knew that something was going to come along and that it was going to change my life, and it did,” he recalls.<\/p>\n
