La Lupe (born Guadalupe Victoria Yoli Raymond) (Santiago de Cuba, 23 December 1939 – The Bronx, New York, 29 February 1992), was a Cuban-American singer of several musical genres: boleros, guarachas and Latin soul in particular. Known for her energetic, sometimes controversial performances, she is considered by many to be one of the leading singers in the salsa music genre. Born in the barrio of San Pedrito in Santiago de Cuba, La Lupe was a singer of extraordinary talent. Her father was a worker at the local Bacardi distillery and a major influence on her early life. Her introduction to fame was in 1954, on a radio program which invited fans to sing imitations of their favorite stars. Lupe bunked off school to sing a bolero of Olga Guillot's, called Mienteme (Lie to me), and won the competition. The family moved to Havana in 1955, where she was enrolled at the University of Havana to become a teacher. Like Celia Cruz, she was certified as a schoolteacher before she became a professional singer.
