Judith Bustos Ahuite de Noriega, who performs as La Tigresa Del Oriente, started gaining attention in the early 1990s. She was born in 1945 in the Peruvian Amazon region. Her music mixes Andean folk styles with lyrics that can be playful and direct.
Her 1995 song "Anaconda" became particularly well-known, with its catchy rhythm and references to the Amazon. Other tracks like "Nuevo Amanecer" and "Cerveza san juan" followed. Her stage presence is energetic, and she often performs with musicians from her home region.
Her approach has drawn both fans and critics over time. She sings about everyday topics and relationships in a straightforward way. She has also been vocal about supporting LGBTQ+ rights and women's empowerment through her public persona.
She has released several albums since the mid-1990s, including self-titled work and live recordings. More recent collaborations include the track "En Tus Tierras Bailaré" featuring Wendy Sulca and Delfín Quishpe.
