5.0 out of 5 stars THE QUEEN'S MASTERPIECE, October 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Siempre Vivire (Audio CD)

THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST WORK YET FROM THE QUEEN OF SALSA CELIA CRUZ. ALL THE TRACKS ARE GREAT. THE QUEEN DEMONSTRATES WHY SHE HOLDS THE TITLE. IN THIS CD SHE GOES BACK TO HER ROOTS SINGING CUBAN AND PUERTO RICAN FOLK MUSIC. THE QUEEN ALSO PLAYS TRIBUTE TO THE LATE KING OF LATIN MUSIC TITO PUENTE IN THE OPENING TRACK 'CELIA'S OYE COMO VA'. THIS IS A GREAT CD. ALL SALSA FANS WILL ENJOY THIS GEM FROM THE QUEEN OF PUERTO RICAN-CUBAN MUSIC: SALSA!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars "I Will Live Forever", July 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Siempre Vivire (Audio CD)

I admit it. I have never been a big fan of Celia Cruz. Her voice is like a car with one speed--full speed straight ahead. Her voice has the subtlety of a sledgehammer. This album is mostly pure salsa. It is good for dancing and parties. The band is tight and well-directed with a clear high-fidelity sound. The title comes from her remake of the old disco hit, "I Will Survive." I really didn't want to hear this song again. Celia gives the song new meaning, however, by telling us that she will live forever through her music. My favorite song of the album is "If By Chance I Don't Return (to Cuba)." This is a poignant, moving message. And at her age, it is a possibility. In more than one way she is telling us goodbye with this album. But she recently said in an interview, "May it be God who retires me." So, if her health holds up, we will have more recordings from Celia Cruz. The album notes provide the lyrics. Total playing time 51 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars ¡Celia nos trae más azúcar!, March 14, 2001

This review is from: Siempre Vivire (Audio CD)

La única cosa me sorprendió de este disco es el hecho de que es mejor que "Mi Vida es Cantar" y nunca imaginé que fuera posible tener música mejor que ésa. Sin embargo, una vez más Celia Cruz nos hace acordar que ella sabe lo que es la música tropical y no solamente la salsa sino todos los géneros de dicha categoría musical. Todas las canciones son buenas y los boleros son muy sentimentales. Voy a aprovechar la oportunidad para decirle que desde 1993 en adelante su música cambió de estilo y Celia combina ritmos africanos con la salsa de hoy y por supuesto hay un poco de "son". Aconsejo que compre otros cd's de ella como: Azúcar Negra, e Irrestible. ¡Bueno deje de leer esto y váyase a la tienda y cómprelo ya!
