Remember Celia Cruz, "the queen of salsa" who, more than anyone, popularized Latin music around the world

Celia Cruz was the most famous and influential woman in Latin music and what became La Salsa. She is remembered as the "Queen of Salsa", although in our eyes she is more naturally a rumbera.

His career follows the development of Latin music from Rumba and Changüi to Son Cubano with La Sonora Matancera, to Pachanga (Cuban-style Salsa) with Tito Puente in New York, to Salsa with Johnny Pacheco at FANIA to Reggaeton (La Negra Tiene Tumbao). She went from that old Cuban sound to New York Swing, and was the most stylish woman in the industry.

The love that Celia shared with her husband Pedro Knight is one of the greatest love stories.

The spirit of Celia will never leave us. Celia is forever!
