What are the elements that an artist needs to succeed?

Talent, charisma and a touch of luck might be basic ingredients in the recipe for success, but the truth is, passion is what can really drive someone to the top.

When it comes to Latin culture, passion”or pasión in Spanish”is an element that’s ever present. From food to music to dance to poetry, for Latinos, la pasión is always part of the equation.

Here on OurStage, we have some very passionate Latin artists with some equally passionate Latin songs. Specifically, we are talking about talented artist Lily Vasquez, an actress, singer, composer and professional salsa dancer from Barranquilla, Colombia that immigrated to the United States at the age of fourteen.

For Lily, passion is what opened the doors to the music industry. Her production Pasión de Mujer (Translation is A Woman’s Passion) was a stepping stone towards success. In 2009, Lily won the Billboard World Song Contest with Pasión de Mujer and decided to continue making music as an independent artist.

In 2010, Lily released two new singles Nunca Dejes de Hacerme el Amor and Me Marcho de aquí­. Both of these were well received by the fans.

Pasión de Mujer has been in the Top Ten OurStage Latin charts for several months and we can clearly see why. Lily’s style isn’t only creative, young and refreshing, but also incredibly passionate. Enjoy this playlist.
