5.0 out of 5 stars "La Reina de la Salsa", July 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Negra Tiene Tumbao (Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)

What can I say about the "Queen of Salsa"? Her music has captivated the hearts of 5 generations from around the world, and will continue to do so for many more years to come. If you havent heard "La Negra Tiene Tumbao", youre crazy! She takes salsa to a whole new and different level. Her music is both traditional, and contemporary. Although this was her last album (due to her unfortunate passing), this is her best. No matter what race, or nationality you are, youll definetely love her music!...

I bought this album and put it on the stereo. You can't believe the energy this woman puts out. It's impossible to sit still when listening to it. Celia is the embodiment of Latin music. The tempo and lyrics will have you moving. You can FEEL what she's singing. "Viva La Celia"

I know absolutely zip about Tumbao except that it moves me to move me. And I don't like to move much. I'm like a lichen stuck to a rock, I sit and vegetate. So I made myself get up and go down to the music store in a local mall. I love Latin music of all types, I am scandalously indiscriminate. I have downloaded Celia Cruz onto my cell phone where I use some tunes as ringtones. I know what you're saying, what a Philistine! but I heard this and simply fell for Celia (no longer among the living, sad to say); she made me an addict. So when I went into the record store I headed straight to the Latina music and saw Celia Cruz and grabbed this album. When I got home and put it on the disc player, the first note made me shoot out of my seat like a corn kernel which had just been popped. Then, very un-lichenlike, I began to move. I moved through all the rooms in the house approximating a Latin dance of some sort, another case of scandalous indiscrimination... Samba-salsa-meringue-cha cha cha-mambo-rhumba, man, I did 'em ALL. I just wiggled my ancient hips and got myself into a real lather. I couldn't stop. The whole album just rocks so conscientiously! And guess what? I lost 20 pounds in one hour! Talk about a great workout, whew! I'm just wiped out. I gotta sit down now, but y'all buy this disc ya hear? Your body will thank you, your heart will thank you, and your mind will zone and you will thank it, later when you can think again.
