For a moment, it looks like YEИDRY is rising from the sea. She’s barefoot and wearing yellow, like the roses on her side table tiny desk, Oshún’s color. On the floor, below the seaside view, is a box of records displaying Celia & Johnny, the 1974 classic collaboration between Celia Cruz and Johnny Pacheco. To her right sits the 1979 album Cross Over by the Fania All Stars, of which Celia and Johnny were both starring members. From Soho Beach House in Miami, YEИDRY performs five songs, which make up most of her solo discography.
