Celia Cruz

Dear friends of Latin American music and culture!

Celia Cruz died a short while ago and she left a big gap in the world of music. The Cuban artists was an shining example, a mentor, and a friend for many of her collegues for many decades. Her fans loved her because of her great devotion to music, her fantastic costumes and of course for her famous “Azúcarrr!!!. If you didn’t believe in life’s sweetness when hearing her legendary exclamation, you would never do so. The CD “Regalo del Alma”, unfortunately, is her last production. She proves again, that even at her age she had not lost a bit of her esprit and her capacity to surprise us with new experiments. The bonus track is “Yo viviré” (I will survive). The lyrics express what Celia Cruz’ friends have known for a long time already: “En el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor, en las manos del conguero, en los pies del bailador yo viviré” (In the soul of my people, in the skin of the drums, in the hands of the Conga player, in the feet of the dancers I will live). Thank you Celia!
