The iconic Puerto Rican singer, composer, and television personality, Myrta Silva recorded 2 LPs for Ansonia in Mexico City in 1960. This first album, “Camina Como Chencha” is a nod to her character Madame Chencha. Myrta even commissioned the cover art herself from Mexican photographer Carlos Isunza Nieto to depict Chencha. The album is brimming with humor and rhythm, featuring some classic guarachas as well as a number of Myrta Silva originals featuring her playful double entendre lyrics. Streaming now!
