La India Net Worth: $4 Million
La India, also known as Linda Viera Caballero, is a Puerto Rican singer of salsa and house music. She was born on March 9, 1969, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, and her parents moved to New York City soon after her birth. India was one of the founding members of TKA, a Latin freestyle group, at the age of 14. Later, she left the group to sign a solo contract with Reprise/Warner Bros. Records, who planned to market her as the Latin ‘Madonna’.
In 1992, La India’s first Spanish-language salsa album Llego la India was produced by Eddie Palmieri, which was acclaimed as one of the best salsa albums of the year. From that point on, she became known to all as ‘India’ and she was now a hot commodity. India received a Lo Nuestro Award nomination in 1993 for Best Female Performer, Tropical/Salsa. In 1994, together with Louie Vega, India recorded the house-music single Love and Happiness (Yemaya y Ochún), which paid tribute to Santería.
India’s involvement with Santería drew much criticism during this time. She later recorded Dicen Que Soy (They Say that I Am) which was a 2x gold-certified Billboard hit and included the song Vivir Lo Nuestro, a duet with Marc Anthony. During the 2000s, she continued to rack up more awards and hits. La India continues to record and perform today. In 2014, India once again signed with the record label Top Stop Music, joining the Salsa Giants project with Sergio George.
