Yolandita is the twenty-first (21st) studio album by Puerto Rican singer Yolandita Monge, released in 1995. It marked the biggest radical change of sound and image for Monge, with a fresh and young approach that included long hair and a belly ring. This time, the singer chose a new producer (Gustavo Márquez) leaving behind her signature strong ballads and vocal delivery.
In the first six months of its release, more than 200,000 copies were sold in several Latin American countries. The album earned Gold status due to high sales and is available as a digital download at iTunes and Amazon with a different artwork.
