*** India “Sola,” RMM. The Nuyorican diva has spent the better part of her career seeking suitable material for her powerful vocals, and this is her most successful effort since her Eddie Palmieri-produced debut. From the killer pop of “Hielo” to a superb version of La Lupe’s hit “Que Te Pedi,” this is one salsa romantica album where the romance is actually there. India headlines the Conga Room on Friday.
