She turned professional and was immediately booked to sing in the famous Village Vanguard Club in Greenwich Village.Since her first visit to Japan in 1978 Salena has built up a huge and loyal following in the land of the rising sun where she returns at least annually, appearing in concert halls, on television, radio and regularly at the three Blue Note Jazz Clubs.
