Sola

(RMM)

Since her emergence into the Salsa dance world in 1992 with pianist Eddie Palmieri, La India has risen as one of the leading Latina voices of her generation. Her fifth album for New York City powerhouse RMM Records is her most mature to date, with a perfect combination of technical prowess and emotion. Much like Cuban diva La Lupe, who captivated audiences in the '60s, India sings torch songs about broken and renewed love with cool grooves drafted for her by musical director and arranger Isidro Infante.

The opener, Hielo (Ice), booms with operatic strength and a hot swing but the impeccable rendition of Lupe's hit Que Te Pedí grabs you with a cabaret drama and little big band sound. There are pop-synth textures and a single of the balada title-track produced by KC Porter (of Ricky Martin fame) but it is India's intensity and blessed talent that sells this record.
