Editorial Reviews

The Sunday Times, UK

‘This distinctive compilation covers ample ground as it motors through the Fania era. - 3***stars

Product Description

Celia Cruz was the undisputed ‘Queen of Salsa’, and when she died in 2003, after a career spanning nearly seven decades, she left Latin music without a figurehead. Her career began in 1930s Havana and, in 1960, she moved to New York and became a central attraction at Fania Records – the Motown of Latin music and powerhouse of salsa. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Celia’s recordings with percussionist and bandleader Tito Puente (the ‘King’ to her ‘Queen’) and producers Johnny Pacheco and Ray Barretto won streams of awards. This album showcases the unique range and rhythmic versatility of her dazzling voice and the brilliant soloists who surrounded her.

5.0 out of 5 stars great cd!, May 29, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rough Guide to Celia Cruz (Audio CD)
This is a great cd to get a flavor of Celia's great performances with different bands, different times in her career and styles of Latin music. I particularly love the percussion in many of the tracks. Her voice is always intoxicating.

This review is from: Rough Guide to Celia Cruz (Audio CD)
A must have for listeners of Latin music....... I grew up in NYC during the time that great performers like Celia Cruz came to places like the Paladium..... this album brought me straight back.. The Queen of Salsa and ger impeccable timing have left us but her music will reign forever ....Loved It!!
