It is definetly one of the best albums I ever herd. Not that this comes with a suprice. She definetly deserves her title. Even if you are not a salsa fan it is that kind of music everybody can enjoy. I recently seen her and Jose Alberto in a concert and hearing La vida es un carneval live was something I will never forget. ASUCAR....

Celia Cruz is like a diva of the latin salsa, and holds true to it in this phenomenal release "Mi vida es cantar". Its too bad that "La vida es un carnaval" doesen't have a sound sampler (its one of the best songs) but that goes to show you that the entire cd is great.

This is another tremendous album by the late Celia Cruz- la guarachera del mundo. As usual this album is nothing but excellence and a true representation of Celia's spririt and philosophy about life- la vida es un carnaval y hay que vivirla cantando. Her tremendous talent, charisma, professionalism and vivacious nature kept the world dancing for fifty years and will keep the world dancing for fifty more years thanks to this tremendous album (and all the others). The international hit on this album is "la vida es un carnaval" but all are tremendous and once again Celia shows her diversity by including other rhythms- a merengue (a duet with Kinito Mendez) and a bolero that is just so sentimental and so Celia Cruz. This album is her first production with Sony discos and I assure you the new style, sound and energy are just so typical of "la guarachera". I can't express this anymore clearly. This is a production that is platinum and will defintely keep Celia in our hearts for ever. I cheerish her music and will keep dancing in the name of this tremendous singer of tropical music. Celia is truly a "reina".

If you are looking for salsa that makes you want to dance... this is it! Well worth the cost. All your friends will want to borrow it...and HEH HUM not return it!!! Every song gets you moving and feeling the true soul of salsa, and of Celia.

I even gave this to my best friend who is as country boy as country boy gets, and he loved it (although I still tell him not to try and dance to it... he he.. just kiddin)

WOW!CELIA TODAVIA SIGUE DOMINANDO EL GENERO DE LA SALSA--ESTA ES UNA VERDADERA DIVA! EL NO TE QUIERE NA'---MI VIDA ES CANTAR--SALSI PUEDES--Y LA TREMENDA "LA VIDA ES UN CARNAVAL"--UN CD COMPLETO! TODAS LAS CANCIONES MOVIDAS..CON RAZON,CELIA ES LA REINA DE LA SALSA! RECOMIENDO TAMBIEN--PETALOS DE FUEGO DE BRENDA K STARR --INDIA "SOLA-TRIBUTO A LA LUPE--Y NAYOBE "COMO UNA LOBA"..SALSA PARA SIEMPRE DE LAS REINAS DEL GENERO...

This 1998 release brought Celia back to the top of the charts with a vengeance. The mega-hit "La Vida Es Un Carnaval" became a top-charting hit that got unprecedented amounts of both airplay and club play while letting the world know that Celia's stature as a Salsa music icon had in no way been diminished through the passage of time. While some Salsa purists may feel that this album is a Pop-Salsa oriented set the truth is that it gave Celia a truly much-deserved comeback which brought her back again to the front of the Latin music world.
