REVIEWS<\/h3>\n

\u201cAn exuberant picture-book biography of the Cuban-born salsa singer. Lopez’s distinguished, luminous acrylic paintings are alive with motion, lush with brilliantly layered colors, and informed with verve and symbolism. This is a brilliant introduction to a significant woman and her music. The only enhancement required is the music itself\u201d.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
