Since its origin, salsa has been one of the most male-dominated areas of Latin music. And no one will deny that this is still the case today... In the early days of salsa, women played an important role in the interpretation of this tropical music made for dancing. In Cuba, Maria Teresa Vera, Rita Montaner, Olga Guillot, Celia Cruz, etc., all had beautiful careers in a male-dominated environment. This compilation aims to shine a spotlight on a few artists from the 70s, but also on some contemporary singers. No stars from major labels, but rather proud and well-seasoned artists, with voices of great presence. In a word, a carefully selected choice among the Divas Latinas, who will show the machos a thing or two! With Celia Cruz, Omara Portuondo, La Lupe, Graciela And Mario Bauzá, Noraida Y Los Moré, Cortijo Y Su Nuevo Combo, Myrta Silva Con Joe Quijano Y Su Conjunto, Cachana, Choco Orta, etc. As a bonus: the album of an amazing "salsera," the Japanese Yoko Mimata, based in New York, a graduate in Spanish, who sings with authenticity, power, and mastery a refreshing and colorful salsa.
