“Celia’s irreverence always caught my attention because she was something so different from what was seen at that time, she was incredible, imposing, how she dressed, she was a woman with a lot of presence, and I think that La India knew how to adopt all those things in the moment she was given the opportunity, backed by Celia herself”he pointed.

Darcourt is confident that in the future “there will be more salsa women in the world copying or making a career just as successful as the one Celia did,” although she says that she also has a mixture of influences from soneros such as Héctor Lavoe, Frankie Ruiz, Gilberto Santa Rosa. and Victor Manuelle.

Darcourt affirmed that this second musical album is for her “a new beginning, a before and after of many things in my life, throughout these four years as a soloist”. (Source: EFE)
