About the artist

Celia Cruz

Celia Cruz, the legendary Cuban singer known as the "Queen of Salsa," is as iconic as they come. With a career spanning over five decades, Cruz's powerful vocals and vibrant stage presence have captivated audiences around the world. Born in Havana in 1925, Cruz began her musical journey at a young age, singing in local cabarets before finding fame with the orchestra of Sonora Matancera. Her infectious energy and distinctive voice quickly made her a star, and she went on to become one of the most beloved figures in Latin music. Cruz's influence can be felt in every note of salsa music, from the fiery rhythms to the impassioned lyrics. Her hits like "Quimbara" and "La Vida Es Un Carnaval" are timeless classics that still get people on their feet today. But it wasn't just her music that made Cruz a legend. With her flamboyant style and larger-than-life persona, she became a true icon of Latin culture. From her extravagant costumes to her trademark catchphrase, "¡Azúcar!" (sugar), Cruz was a force to be reckoned with. Sadly, Cruz passed away in 2003, but her legacy lives on in the hearts of fans worldwide. Her music continues to inspire new generations of artists, and her spirit will forever be remembered as a shining beacon of salsa music. Celia Cruz may have left us, but her music will never die. ¡Azúcar!
