Blanca Rosa Gil (born August 26, 1937 in Perico, Matanzas, Cuba) is a famous Cuban Latin Bolero singer known as 'The Singing Dolly'.
In the 1950s, 1960's and 1970's, Gil recorded albums on various different labels: Velvet, Benson, Echo, Discuba, Maype, and Modiner.
[citation needed] She is best known for her hit song 'Te Odio Y Te Quiero' (Mi Triumfo).
She returned to Cuba as a singer in 1962, but was subsequently exiled to Miami, Florida, where she lived for nine years.
[2][3] Gil's Bolero music has experienced a revival in recent years due to reissuance of her record albums on Compact disc and MP3, and she occasionally returns to the stage to perform her Cuban Bolero classic songs.
