Archive material and source history
La Negra formed in 1999 with singer Anjali, bassist Robert Alfonso, and percussionist Emilio Frías. Their debut album 'Llegó La Negra' came out in 2003 with production help from Cuban musician Juan Formell. The band's sound mixed Afro-Cuban rhythms with urban elements, and they followed up with albums like 'Anjali' in 2005.
Anjali, whose birth name is Osdalgia Lesmes, sang lead on songs like 'Cerca de Mi' and 'Si No Estas Tu'. The track 'Anjali' became something of an anthem for the group. Their music sometimes touched on social themes, but they kept working within their established musical framework rather than dramatically reinventing it.
They were known for live performances that emphasized rhythm and energy. The band maintained a consistent presence in Cuban music circles for several years after their initial recordings.
