The Godmother of Salsa, Celia Cruz, with The Fania All-Stars led by the great Johnny Pachecho.She's often compared to Ella Fitzgerald, and sometimes to Sarah Vaughan.But those comparisons, while accurate to a degree, will not give you an idea of who Celia Cruz is, and why she is considered the Queen of Salsa.Actually Celia's music is only part of the reason she has become an international icon.She's been mobbed in Helsinki, feted in Paris, and given a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, an honorary doctorate from Yale, and an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.Highly revered throughout Cuba, despite a virtual blockade against her music, Celia Cruz is nothing less than the personification of the joyous, sexy, irresistible music known as salsa, a genre she helped to define.This incredible show features the rhythm section of Ray Barretto taking the beat back to its source.Includes the hits: Kymbala, Quantanamera, En Orbita, and Me Gente.
