"She said that if I didn't introduce her as The Queen of Latin Soul, she wouldn't come out."
Last night a documentary maker came to UCLA to show her upcoming PBS documentary LA LUPE: QUEEN OF LATIN SOUL.
I'd criminally never heard of La Lupe before.
But I was ELECTRIFIED. I think the last time that a performer literally drew me involuntarily closer to the screen was when I saw LITTLE VOICE in the theater. But that couldn't compare! The power! The glory! I imagine this is what everybody else felt when they saw Jennifer Hudson perform AND I AM TELLING YOU in DREAMGIRLS.
Don't get me wrong, it was a good performance. But it wasn't LA LUPE!
Watch and learn!
