Queen of Salsa Reigns,
By
This review is from: Azucar Negra (Audio CD)
From the opening rhythms of Azucar Negra I couldn't stay still, I danced around the kitchen, I grooved in the car. Whether you want to salsa under the stars on a balmy night or even if housework calls and you need to tap into some of that Cuban energy, Celia Cruz delivers a consistent collection of tracks to lift the spirit and move the feet.

Buena mezcla de ritmos diferentes,
This review is from: Azucar Negra (Audio CD)
Lo que me sorprende de este disco es la manera en que Celia compone diferentes ritmos tropicales en un solo disco. Aunque Celia Cruz se hizo famosa por sus salsas ritmicas y calientes, esta grabacion tambien resalta sus otras calidades musicales. El album es muy suave de principio a fin y cada cancion tiene un elemento artistico digno de atencion. Por lo general, la primera cancion de un disco es la que llama la atencion de la gente y este disco no es la excepcion. Sin lugar a dudas "Azucar Negra" es el exito pero las otras canciones tambien tienen sabor y deben ser escuchadas. Lo que me fascina es que hay un poco de todo. Hay cinco salsas y cada una tiene un estilo unico y las otras canciones son boleros o baladas depende de como el oyente las interprete. Basicamente es un album muy bueno y si decides tenerlo en tu coleccion creo que en poco tiempo se convertira en uno de tus discos mas apreciados.

Celia's disappointing debut album for RMM Records.,
By
This review is from: Azucar Negra (Audio CD)
This was Celia's debut CD for the RMM Records label and includes the big hits "Sazon", "Cruz De Navajas" and "Bolero, Bolero". For better or worse, this album was an unapologetically commercial one and it lacks the rootsy, classic Cuban music-flavored sound that epitomized her work with Johnny Pacheco or the robust, hard-driving New York Salsa sound that was so characteristic of her work with Ray Barretto and Willie Colon. Yes, Celia was one of those few and rare artists with whom it was virtually impossible to make a bad record but this album was quite a disappointment in comparison to her 1974-1992 recordings for the Fania and Vaya labels.

I love Celia Cruz!,

This review is from: Azucar Negra (Audio CD)
When I heard the song Te Busco in the movie Lantana, I just had to have it but I didn't know that it was not part of the soundtrack. It was only available on the Azucar Negra CD and... am I glad that I bought that CD. Celia Cruz is phenomenal and there are so many cuts that are my favorites now that I listen to it in the car, in the office, at home. Finally, a CD that I can enjoy from beginning to end!

Tremenda voz,
By Fulanito de Tal (España) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Azucar Negra (Audio CD)
Celia Cruz es la poseedora de la voz más potente de la salsa mundial. Ella es "La Reina".Este disco está lleno de la mejor salsa, divertida, sin complejos y para bailar. Hay varios temas en el disco muy destacables (Azucar Negra, Sazón, Que suenen las palmas), pero quizá el más bonito sea "Cruz de navajas", que en su tiempo hiciera famoso el grupo Mecano. Por supuesto Celia lo hace en tono de Salsa y ha confeccionado todo un clásico al estilo de "Pedro Navaja".

Here in Miami, we are lucky to be able to listen to these artists all day long. Many years ago, I all but wore this tape out play it endlessly on a loop. I recommend it.

salsa????? oh my goodness,

This review is from: Azucar Negra (Audio CD)
this up-beat down to earth mix of latin percussion busts beats into and out of your ear with such rythymn and flavor that it makes you want to get up and move.

one of the best timba records around,
By zipcat29 "zipcat29" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Azucar Negra (Audio CD)
The group Azucar Negra is a spinoff of Bamboleo. This record is stunning. The songs "Tan Solo Tu" and "Havana Lima" are worth the price of this CD. Buy this one now before it goes out of print.
