Olga Tañón y Punto

Olga Tañón y Punto

Olga Tañón became a legend thanks to her scorching merengue grooves, and the tropical queen reconnects with her dance-floor roots on the surprisingly fierce Olga Tañón y Punto. Decades after her debut, Tañón struts like a diva reborn over explosions of brass on jams like “Vivo la Vida." She's still taking chances, flirting with reggaeton on the thumping duet “Asi Es El Amor," and even when she drops the tempo, Tañón can’t restrain her passion. “Decirte Que No" is a roaring power ballad that finds Tañón wringing maximum drama from every note, and she manages to infuse the endlessly covered Leonard Cohen standard “Hallelujah” with undeniable feeling.
