Celia Cruz at 100 💃🏻 | The Queen of Salsa Lives On

Описание: 100 years ago, a voice was born that would shake the world 🌍. Celia Cruz — La Reina de la Salsa — transformed Latin music forever with her fire, elegance, and unstoppable “¡Azúcar!” 🇨🇺🎶

🕯️ Join us in celebrating a century of Celia Cruz: the woman, the myth, the music

🎂 On October 21, 1925, Úrsula Hilaria Celia de la Caridad Cruz Alfonso was born in Havana, Cuba — a voice that would redefine Latin music 🎶 and Afro-Caribbean identity 🌍

💃🏻 Known as Celia Cruz, she rose from modest beginnings to global stardom, becoming the most awarded female salsa artist in history:

• 🏆 3 Grammy Awards, 4 Latin Grammys
• 💿 Over 70 albums, 23 gold records
• 🌎 Tours across 5 continents, from Carnegie Hall to Kinshasa


🔥 Her cry of ¡Azúcar! became a cultural weapon — joy, defiance, and pride in one word. She broke racial, gender, and political barriers, especially after her exile from Cuba in 1960

🎤 From La Sonora Matancera to the Fania All-Stars, Celia Cruz electrified generations. Her collaborations with Tito Puente, Johnny Pacheco, and Willie Colón reshaped salsa into a global force

🪙 In 2024, she became the first Afro-Latina to appear on a U.S. quarter, marking her legacy not just in music, but in American history

📽️ This tribute by AmericasUnveiled honors her 100th birthday with archival footage, historical context, and the rhythms that still move the world
