July 13th, 2010 - 6:19 am ICT by IANSMiami, July 13 (DPA) Cuban singer Olga Guillot died Monday in Miami at age 87, the daily The Miami Herald reported in its online edition.
The so-called “Queen of Bolero,” with hits like Mienteme (Lie To Me), died of a heart attack at Miami’s Mount Sinai Medical Centre, the Herald said.
