But I'm guessing she's the Mexican Madonna?

No, gloria Trevi is, she is so controversial she spent almost like a decade in jail, something the government was upset that she stood up for herself and actually pissed the country's president off when she called him a few choice words, he felt threatened to the point she wasn't even given a trial.

not close :gloria_falling_stairs_trip:

she's more of a popular singer, as in the regional rhythms, and she's also been known for her acting in soap operas and other television shows

her music is usually fun and danceable and infectious, not so serious, although she has some obscure ballad albums from the 90's. However she's very known and loved because of her carefree personality.

 

I really don't know what to compare her to. I guess the closest in the US would be the country genre, but I think even that is more sophisticated than what Laura León does, and it would be more comparable to the "banda" genre here in Mexico, while what she does is more Cumbia and Tropical.
