Latin pop diva Angelica was born in Los Angeles, the product of a family of musicians which included uncle Eusebio Garcia, the director of Mexico's Mariachi Toluca. After winning "Best New Artist" honors in the Mexican national talent contest Juguemos a Cantar, Angelica began a two-year stint on the Spanish-language variety program La Hora Feliz; her first hit was the 1992 English-language single "Angel Baby," but she returned to her Latin roots with her self-titled 1997 LP, scoring a hit with "Vaya." ~ Jason Ankeny
