Rigoberto Tovar Garca (March 29, 1946 – March 27, 2005) was a Mexican singer best known as Rigo Tovar.

Tovar, who is best known for his cumbias, infused traditional Mexican and Latin music with modern instruments such as the electric guitar and synthesizer, as well as popular genres such as rock and soul music. Tovar was born and raised in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico.

In the early 1970s, he began to flourish in the Houston, Texas neighborhood of East End.

He quickly established a large fanbase as a blend of cumbia, tropical, and modern pop rock.

Tovar's first album, Matamoros Querido, received two hits, "Matamoros Querido" and "Lamento De Amor," in 1971. Tovar set new attendance records in Mexico and Latin America during his career (many of which survive to this day), sold over 30 million albums, and has continued to influence countless artists of all genres.
