About Milly Quezada

Milly Quezada is the Queen of Merengue, the woman who proved the genre was not a men's club. She came up in New York fronting the family band Milly, Jocelyn y Los Vecinos, bringing a diaspora edge to the Dominican sound, then built a solo career of enormous warmth and staying power. Across five decades and multiple Latin Grammys she has stayed a headline act, and Volvió Juanita remains a merengue standard.
