Bonus CD by Yoko:
La Japonesa Salsera Dubbed 'La Japonesa Salsera', Yoko Mimata is making waves and turning heads with her blistering brand of salsa dura. A native of Osaka but living and performing in New York, Yoko majored in Spanish language studies and sings salsa with authenticity, power and joy. Her commanding presence, combined with smoking arrangements and masterful playing by some of the most talented musicians in the genre make this album a true scorcher. 'La Japonesa Salsera' is lighting up the salsa world.
