Una Mujer Como Yo is an album by the Cuban musician Albita, released in 1997.[2][3]

The album peaked at No. 9 on Billboard's Tropical Albums chart.[4] It was nominated for a Grammy Award for "Best Tropical Latin Album".[5]

Production

The album was produced by Emilio Estefan, Jr.[6] It was recorded more quickly than Albita's previous two albums, and moved beyond traditional Cuban music styles.[7][8] Albita wrote "Tocame con un Beso" and "Y No Tengo Guano"; Kike Santander contributed to the writing and arranging of some of Una Mujer Como Yo's songs.[9][10]

Miami New Times deemed the album "a shrill pastiche of merengue, salsa, cumbia, vallenato, Cuban jazz riffs and even, God help us, rap."[15] The Orlando Sentinel wrote that "the up-tempo songs celebrate Albita's musical roots and influences but don't sound like a formal excursion into the past."[14] The San Diego Union-Tribune declared that "Albita, with her deep, rich voice, could sing any style and make it sound easy."[16]

Newsday called the songs "full pedal-to-the-metal jams," writing that "never has Albita sounded so agreeably aggressive on disc."[9] The Commercial Appeal stated that "the Cuban with the beefy alto fuses folk instruments to modern production without sacrificing one syncopated, seductive note."[12] The Baltimore Sun determined that Albita's voice "is dark and lustrous, with all the sweet sonority of a trombone, and she uses that to great effect against the brass and percussion of 'Me Demito' or the breathlessly rhythmic 'Ven a Verme'"; the paper later listed the album as the tenth best of 1997.[17][18]
