My Take
Olga Tañón is the kind of artist whose numbers almost get in the way of appreciating her. Two Grammys, three Latin Grammys, twenty-nine Premio Lo Nuestro wins, over five million albums sold. But what stays with me is the conviction in her voice, equally at home setting a dancefloor on fire with merengue and slowing down to break your heart. Born in Santurce in 1967, she earned the merengue-queen title through sheer durability across shifting trends. I have a weakness for singers who throw their whole body into a performance, and Tañón has always sung like the stakes are real.
