Calma Carmona
Latin Soul Diva
If ever there were an artist that belonged on stage in a Quentin Tarantino movie, this is her. Calma Carmona represents the unique sound of Latin Soul. In 2013, she released There’s No Other Girl, an EP complete with videos for all five songs. She quickly found herself opening for Beyonce on her Mrs. Carter World Tour. The innovation in her music is the language. You know what happens when your island is slowly, and deliberately, colonized? Everyone learns a new language. After generations of English class in elementary schools, a huge percentage of the island’s inhabitants are now fluent and that means we can anticipate more music being exported in both English and Spanglish.
