An important event took place when she accompanied her husband “Little” Louie Vega to a studio session. Salsa bandleader Eddie Palmieri happened to visit the studio, and was impressed with Caballero when he heard her singing. In 1992, Palmieri produced Caballero’s first Spanish-language salsa album Llego La India via Eddie Palmieri (The India has Arrived via Eddie Palmieri), which was acclaimed as one of the best salsa albums of the year. From then on, Caballero became known to all as La India. India received a Lo Nuestro Award nomination in 1993 for Best Female Performer, Tropical/Salsa.
She spent her earliest days in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, and the bulk of her childhood in New York City’s South Bronx borough, where she was raised by her parents and her grandmother.
