Biography

Childhood Surprise

Ednita was born April 11, 1955 in Ponce, Puerto Rico to Domingo and Gudy Nazario. She has two older brothers (Tito and Alberto) and a younger brother (Frank). Ever since she was a baby, Ednita showed inclinations to music. A family anecdote tells that when she was two, she went shopping with her mother but scurried off her in the market. She was found singing on top of boxes to an enthusiastic crowd of shoppers laughing and clapping until her mother took her.

Some years later, when she was 6, she went to a baseball game in Ponce with her two brothers. While playing with her brother's glove, the batter hit the ball right towards her. Cowering behind the glove, the ball fell right in the middle of it. The crowd went wild, including Ernest Herger, one of Puerto Rico’s top recording producers, who was seated right next to the Nazario brothers. When he asked her if she wanted to be a baseball player, she replied "No, I'm going to be a singer." Herger quickly asked her to sing something for him, to which she replied with an impressive rendition of a local salsa hit that left both the producer and the crowd astonished.
