Yamilka Pitre is a Cuban singer known for the bolero "Regresa A Mi," which appeared on her 1995 debut album of the same name. The song became popular in Latin American music circles for its emotional delivery and traditional style.
She was born in Havana to musical parents, her father was a pianist and her mother a singer, which gave her early exposure to Cuban genres like boleros and sones. This background shaped the straightforward, soulful quality in her voice that listeners heard on "Regresa A Mi."
In the years after her debut, Pitre released several more albums including "Historia de un Amor" in 1998 and "Mi Son Cubano" in 2008. Her work sometimes drew criticism from traditionalists who felt she strayed from classic Cuban sounds, but she continued recording music that blended familiar forms with her own approach.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
