Rita Indiana could easily be the Dominican Grace Jones.
In "Encendía" she makes herself seem even taller and more angular skulking around in a cemetery (I hear she's like 6'4"). I'd been waiting for a video to go with the funny weird wild Miti Miti record Altar Espandex, which was released a couple of months ago and I've been meaning to write about. (Coming soon, I promise.)
"Encendía" the song is electrogagá plus minimalist merengue mambo horns, nonsense cutup lyrics that remind me a little of Josefina Báez and a lot of Las Chicas del Can. The video is all Afro-Catholic hyperbole (Joan of Arc/Anima Sola images plus all the voudou that fits, possession included).
