Overview

For all the driving rhythms and weaving horn lines, it is the divas that define salsa's wild and free spirit. Dance the night away with salsa from the original revolutionaries Celia Cruz and La Lupe through regal voices like Omara Portuondo and Myrta Sylva to the 21st-century innovators Albita and Yoko. The bonus disc brings you La Japonesa Salsera, Yoko Mimata, who is making waves with her blistering brand of salsa dura. A native of Osaka but living and performing in New York, Yoko sings salsa with authenticity, power, and joy. Her commanding presence, combined with smoking arrangements and masterful playing by some of the most talented musicians in the genre make this album a true scorcher.
