I’ve always liked la India, from her duets with Marc Anthony to her cantos a las Orishas, I think that she has suffered under the curse that so many Latina/Latin American mujer artistas have: living in the place where art meets real life, love.
After disappearing from the Latin musical scene in the U.S., India comes back with a song that only she can belt out about unrequited love and yes, the stupidity that mujeres can fall into in the name of amor.
First we have the salsa version of the song. Make sure to click after the jump to see/listen to the ballad version of the song.
Speaking of PBS’s Latino Music series, last night’s show featured (among others) La India and Marc Anthony. I’d forgotten how much I love La India and really really hate Marc Anthony. It also reminded me of the very first time I heard India sing–with the incomparable Celia Cruz.
