Vivencias (Yolandita Monge album)

Vivencias (Spanish: Personal Experiences) is the 18th studio album by Puerto Rican singer Yolandita Monge. It was released in 1988 and it includes the massive hits "Este Amor Que Hay que Callar", "Débil", "Quítame A Ese Hombre Del Corazón", and "Por Tí (Call Me)". Nearly all the tracks in this album were radio hits that the singer still performs in her live shows.

The song "Por Tí (Call Me)" was remixed by DJ Pablo Flores and became a club anthem in Puerto Rico and USA. The track "Este Amor Que Hay Que Callar, composed by Canarian singer-songwriter Braulio, caused a big controversy due to its theme of adultery.

Due to the massive sales and constant radio play of this album, Monge also recorded a TV special in VHS with all the tracks of this release, now sold-out and out of print. This album earned the first Platinum status for a female Puerto Rican singer. Since then, it has earned double Platinum and double Gold status. This release is currently out of print in CD but it is available as a digital download at iTunes and Amazon.

It is impossible to talk about Yolandita Monge without mentioning this record, perhaps because it is the most successful album of her career and recognized as the one where the singer reached her peak in terms of popularity. If from 1985 to now Monge became a figure of first order in the musical landscape of Puerto Rico, with this album she reached "super stardom", appearing relentlessly in all media, newspapers, magazines, radio and television.

This is a strong, passionate, intense album that showcases the interpretive power of Yolandita Monge. Considered by fans and critics alike her best production, her crowning achievement.
