Jose Francisco Manuel Rivera Baz was born July 19, 1882 in the Federal District of Mexico City. Manuel was baptized July 22, 1882 at Santa Veracruz, Guerrero Sureste, Distrito Federal in Mexico city, Mexico. His father was Manuel Severo Rivera (1853-1912) a music professor. His mother was Maria Trinidad Baz (1866-1904).

Manuel's siblings were Maria Enriqueta Trinidad Rivera Baz Vigneaux (1884-1972), Jose Francisco Manuel Rivera Baz (1886-1887), Maria Carolina Trinidad Rivera Baz (1887), Jose Maria Rivera Baz (1892-1981), Esther Carol Rivera Baz (1894), Luis Trinidad Manuel Rivera Baz (1894-1983), Albert Joseph Rivera Baz (1897-1987), Maria Luisa Trinidad Rivera Baz Cummins (1899-1991) and Eduardo Rosendo Rivera Baz (1904-1905).

Manuel married Clementina Morin 1883-1956 and had the following children: Clementina Rivera Morin 1900-1975 and Manuel Rivera Morin 1902-1981.

Manuel married Esperanza Alvarez (1886-1951) on October 19, 1902 at Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Together they had the following children Esperanza (1904), Julio (1907-1992), Luis (1909-1910), Enrique (1911-1972) and Ruth (1914).

Manuel was "a child prodigy. He conducted at the age of ten and gave his first public piano concert at the age of 12. He graduated from the German music conservatory and the Mexican music conservatory."

Manuel wrote the operetta "Le Somelle du l'Anfante," "Apareció Hoja de álbum," "El doctor Argensola" an operetta in three acts. In 1924 he wrote "Tehuanas, De la Opereta" for La Nina Lupe. He also wrote or co-wrote, composed the following songs, operettas or operas, "Obertass," "Legende," "Le Revelie du Lion," "Il Trovatore," "La Nina Lupe," "El Mosquito Zumbador," "Tecolote," "Cancion del Olvido," "Rosas Espagnolas" and "El Dos de Abril."

Manuel traveled to Cuba, and many states in the US giving performances. He was also a music professor and gave piano lessons. He lived in Arizona, Texas and Mexico.

Manuel was predeceased by his parents and some siblings. He was survived by his wives and children.

A book about famous Mexican musicians states Manuel died in 1942 after being ill for some time. That date is not correct. A memorial service card states he died August 9, 1937 in Havana, Cuba.
