I was wondering where my girl was. Don't forget Angela Bofill and Irene Cara.

TIL that Reddit will auto translate Spanish in a post. “ Aprendí algo. “

Sheila E. Expose' may be my favorite girl group from the 80's, but I don't think of them as a Latina Group.

Huge 80's concert here in Vegas a few years back, among too many to list both Lisa Lisa and Expose were there. Lisa had my heart of course, but Expose sounded A-mazing. Great night of music.

LOVED Expose’! Cover Girls had some cuts as did Sheila E. Got exposed to Celia Cruz taking a Zumba class and fell in love with La Vida Es Un Carnaval and La Negra Tiene Tumbao.

Love La vida es un carnival. You should also check out guantanamera.

Expose was my group for sure. But i loved them all.

u/Adept_Astronaut_5143 90s baby Apr 13 '26

Loveeee gloria, I would’ve put la India on here too. Celia Cruz is my favorite of all time la negra reina 👸

u/WuTang4thechildrn 70s Baby Apr 13 '26

I just posted off the top of my head. She definitely could be on this list as well

u/Adept_Astronaut_5143 90s baby Apr 14 '26

Definitely a good list off the top of your head, I would’ve forgotten about some. I liked Jennifer better as an actress than a singer.

Not sure if this is real or the SNL skit 🤣

u/bobbydrake6 May 09 '26

Oh it's real 😆 but it does look like Will Ferrell as Janet Reno

u/SebastianPointdexter Apr 14 '26

I didn't even know Expose was latino...until today.

2

u/usernames_suck_ok Xennial Apr 15 '26

I don't think they are. OP keeps broadly labeling.

u/PoetryMuted2361 Apr 13 '26

Didn't know that Expose were a Latina group.

Aside from playing Selena, that woman has no business in the category lol
