Myrta Silva - Myrta Silva Interpreta a Myrta Silva (1962)

"Myrta Silva Interpreta a Myrta Silva" is a cult studio album by Puerto Rican singer, poet, and composer Myrta Silva, released in 1962 on the prestigious Latin American label Ansonia Records.

This album holds a special place in the artist's discography. While in the late 1940s she resonated throughout the Caribbean as the "Queen of the Guaracha" with the Cuban orchestra Sonora Matancera, by the early 1960s Myrta Silva had cemented her status as one of Latin America's greatest female composers. The album's title ("Myrta Silva Interpreta a Myrta Silva") speaks for itself—it's a completely original album, in which the "Golden Fat Lady" (La Gorda de Oro) personally reprises her best and most profound compositions, accompanied by a magnificent studio orchestra conducted by maestro Rafael Ibiarra.

The album "Myrta Silva Interpreta a Myrta Silva" is a triumph of her talent. The album is ideal for collectors of vintage Latin American music, lovers of classic Puerto Rican boleros, and connoisseurs of powerful, charismatic female vocals. Here, Myrta Silva emerges not just as a pop diva, but as a brilliant architect of Caribbean song, wringing her soul out in front of the microphone.
