Editor's note

Karina, Cuba's La Dama de la Canción

A Cuban singer who built a long career after leaving for the U.S., anchored by hits like "Vidas Nuevas."

For a sense of her range, try "Sacame Esta Enfermedad" and "In the Name of Love." They hold up.

Karina's story is one of persistence across borders. Her 1987 single "Vidas Nuevas" became a hit and earned her the nickname "La Dama de la Canción," and songs like "Sacame Esta Enfermedad" and "In the Name of Love" kept her voice in rotation for decades. She recorded more than thirty albums, a steady output that speaks to her place in Latin music.

She started performing in Cuba in 1975 and won a Female Singer of the Year award there in 1980. Political circumstances led her to the United States, where she kept recording through the '80s and '90s, even after a legal dispute paused her work in 1991. Albums like "Karina Tropical" in the 2000s showed she was still at it.
