LA INDIA


Man, oh man did I love La India back when she broke out with Eddie Palmieri's band!  She was just a smoldering, smoking singer then and the way she growled out the lyrics was always a rush.  That, and Eddie's band was about as good as anyone could ask for. 

This clip, Mi Primera Rumba shows these two great talents at their best.  Dig how much Eddie grins through the performance too!  The song was originally recorded for the 1992 release, Llegó la India Via Eddie Palmieri.

I've got one more, a duet with Marc Anthony titled - Vivir Lo Nuestro.  It's a song they performed together on India's 1996 release, Dicen Que Soy.

OFRA HAZA

Ofra Haza was one of the most remarkable vocalists of her time.  She passed away in 2000 - after a incredible career as an international recording star.  She was only 42 years old.  Her interpretation of Yemenite songs made her a legend throughout most of the world.
