Linda Viera Caballero, known by her stage name "La India," is a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter celebrated for her profound impact on the Latin music genre, particularly salsa and Latin house. Born on March 9, 1969, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, she moved to New York City at a young age. La India began her music career in the early 1980s, capturing attention with her powerful voice and emotive performances. She was dubbed "La India" by salsa legend Eddie Palmieri because of her tropical style and look reminiscent of a Taino Indian.
La India's artistic journey includes collaborations with many notable artists and spans various music styles, from her early days in freestyle music, her transition into house music, and her eventual ascent as one of the leading ladies of salsa. In recent years, La India has continued to enrich the music world with an array of electrifying singles and albums, like the passionate "Nubes Negras," the romantic ballad "Ya," and "Sin Fronteras," a vibrant collaboration with Haila. In "Víctimas las Dos," she demonstrates her ability to blend contemporary sounds with classic salsa rhythms. Her tribute album "Intensamente Con Canciones de Juan Gabriel" showcases her ability to honor legendary songwriters while imprinting her unique vocal stylings. With "Ese Hombre (Baile Total)," she breathes new life into salsa music, bringing it to the dancefloors with a fresh twist. Meanwhile, her ventures into world music are evident with tracks such as "Mamafrica" (a collaboration with Peppe Citarella and Paki Palmeri) which highlight her versatility and global appeal. As an artist, La India has left an indelible mark on the music industry, consistently celebrating and evolving the rich traditions of Latin music for a modern audience.
