Early life
Caballero was born in Ro Piedras, Puerto Rico. Both her parents immigrated to New York City right after her birth, settling in the city's South Bronx neighborhood. They lived with Caballero's grandmother, a woman who had a significant influence on Caballero's life. Caballero began singing as a child and was even doing opera lessons for a brief period of time. La India's stage name was given to her by her grandmother because of her long, black hair and her dark features. La India's mother was abused by her father when she crawled under the bed, and she now describes herself as a feminist.
Career
In 1985, when Caballero was 16 years old, she joined the Latin freestyle group TKA, a little-known fact. "Linda" was featured in the group portrait on TKA's second single, "Come Get Your Love," she said. She left the country shortly after.

Three singles were released (Dancing On The Fire, Right From The Start, Lover Who Rocks You All Night) and they were all huge hits in the dance clubs. "Mirage" is her first female vocal album on Jellybean's record. Caballero realized that she didn't want to go into that route in her career after releasing the album Breaking Night. She opted to salsa because she felt she had to "cross over to [her] people."
At a studio session, she led her husband "Little" Louie Vega to a significant event. Eddie Palmieri, the bandleader, was in the studio for a few days and was captivated by Caballero's singing.
