Performer: Celia Cruz
Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Cruz with Willie is just about as sure a thing as Celia with Johnny (Pacheco). Surer, maybe, since C&J have made far more recordings than C&W. Celia Cruz is the nearest thing to an icon in contemporary salsa, and since she reaches at least two generations, you can bet on this reaching at least the Top Three, if not the zenith. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music
Universally acknowledged as the "Queen of Salsa," Cuban exile Celia Cruz infused her impassioned, Spanish-language songs with nostalgia for the natural beauty of her homeland, and was often influenced by the Afro-Cuban Santeria religion. Cruz's more than 40 years (1960-2003) as an international salsa star proved that she was blessed with a rich voice, flexibility, and energy. Her talents even extended onto the silver screen, with featured roles in films such as THE MAMBO KINGS. In July 2003, Cruz passed away, and fans the world over mourned the loss of their beloved performer, "La Unica."
