Manuela Josefa Cabrera, better known as Fefita la Grande or La Mayimba, is the most respected female merengue accordionist of the Dominican Republic. She is also one of the most famous current representatives of the Perico Ripiao or Merengue tipico scene, along with artists like Tatico Henriquez, El Ciego de Nagua, El Prodigio, Rafaelito and Raul Roman, Geovanny Polanco, Francisco Ulloa, and others.
"Fefa", as referred to by her closest friends and relatives, was born in the Cibao region, the birthplace of the merengue and where almost all merengue tipico musicians hail from. Fefita taught herself accordion on her father's squeezebox, and was already playing concerts for people as respected as Petan Trujillo (Dictator Rafael Trujillo's brother), and appearing frequently on television and radio shows, as early as the age of 9. |
