Olga Tañon besides being the Queen of Merengue is known as "La mujer de fuego" (fire woman) because of her voice and strengh in her music and lyrics.
In 2001 she released this production which was a big hit in the U.S, Latin America and Spain. The first single "Como olvidar" (how can I forget) was a #1 hit and was released in merengue and ballad. That single was follwed by "Mienteme" (Lie to me), another big hit.
This album is basically a Merengue one, the only pop song is the ballad "Como olvidar". There are great songs to dance like "Tu te lo pierdes" (you miss it) that has 100% of rhythm, "Me gusta" (I like it) another great track, "I wanna have fun" which is in Spanish. There's one song that is softer but doesn't lose its Merengue style, the song is the one that gives little to the cd, "Yo por ti" (Me for you).
This cd won the 2002 Grammy for best Latin album and debuted at #4 in the American charts.
I would also recommend her 2002 cd "Sobrevivir"...Read more

Olga's latest CD has a lot of variety and sounds terrific. I had to listen to it a few times to decide if I really liked it or not, and discovered I enjoyed it more than I thought I did.The majority of the songs are fast-paced, especially the song that seems to be getting the most attention: "Tu Te Lo Pierdes." My favorite is the merengue title track. Yes, there's finally some new merengue material on this CD, but not on all the songs. Her English contribution, "I Wanna Have Fun," is really a bilingual song, and unfortunately it's also probably the weakest number on the CD. This CD is very tropical, but also very pop. It opens with a slow song, ends with a slow song, and has a lot of fast- to mid-tempo songs in-between. Yo Por Ti is a hot blend of tropical styles and Olga's unforgettable voice. If you like this one, I think you would also like Gloria Estefan's Alma Caribena CD.
