Floreciendo![1] is the seventh (7th) studio album by Puerto Rican singer Yolandita Monge. It was released in 1975 on LP, 8-Track and Cassette format under her new label Coco Records. This album served as the first stepping stone for her success in the Latin American markets. With this recording contract, Monge joined the ranks of other major performers in Puerto Rico and in the latin market of the United States. The album was her first best selling release and features her first international radio hit, Cierra Los Ojos Y Juntos Recordemos, a song she still performs in her concerts. Another radio hit was Alguien A Quien Se Amó Demás.
