Karen Rodriguez wants Latinas to be loud and proud throughout Women’s History Month. The Miami born singer partnered up with Spotify in the compilation of some of the greatest hits sung by the best Latina performers the music industry has ever seen.
With "Reinas: A Tribute to Latina Women in History," the singer-songwriter pays tribute to the "reinas" she grew up listening to. Arranged and produced by Luis Gomez (Raulín Rosendo, Frankie J, Tito Nieves), the medley features songs originally made famous by legends such as, Celia Cruz, Jenni Rivera, Milly Quezada, Gloria Estefan, Olga Tañon, and Selena, and combines Latin music genres like bolero, salsa, Tejano, and Latin pop.
Karen Rodriguez was raised in New York City and jumped to fame when she became the first bilingual finalist on the 10th season of "American Idol." Most recently, Karen sang background vocals on Marc Anthony's #1 smash hit, "Vivir Mi Vida," and co-wrote three songs with Romeo Santos for his album "Formula, Vol 2;" "Odio" featuring Drake, "Trust" featuring Tego Calderón, and "Gone Forever."
In 2015, Karen released a Spanglish cover of Adele's "Hello," which already has over 10,500,000 YouTube views, and reached #5 on US iTunes Latino chart, #7 Billboard Latin charts, and became the #1 streamed viral song on Spotify in Latin America.
