🇨🇺 Celia Cruz: Story of the Queen of Salsa

Her name is Celia Cruz.

Celia Cruz! What a name! In my opinion, she is THE greatest and most influential singer in the world of Latin music. Her musical journey and identity have marked the history of Cuban music but also the history of the island and the anti Fidel Castro movement. She is not called the QUEEN OF SALSA for no reason. The impact of Celia Cruz is undeniable and I am so proud to be able to share with you the name of the Guaracheja of Cuba. Her tubes like La Vida es un Carnaval or Quimbara are testifying of how the one who loved the say "AZUCAR" remain in our hearts. She left us 20 years ago, but her name is well rooted in history.

Her name is Celia Cruz.
