Career

In the early part of 1985, Nayobe became the first Latin American female to record a freestyle song called "Please Don't Go", produced by Andy Panda. Some music critics declared her record the first song of the genre and of the whole Latin hip hop movement which later became known as freestyle music.^{[citation needed]} Nayobe's other hits include "Guess I Fell In Love", "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait", "Second Chance for Love" and "Promise Me". Her second album, Promise Me, took her into a more urban contemporary and new jack swing direction with production by Teddy Riley. Nayobe returned with the self-titled salsa album in 1999.
