  • CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE AND HOW TO BUY THIS VIDEO??

  • An amazing woman. I respectfully compare her to Janis Joplin and Billie Holiday.

  • alguem me puede dizir se esto es una pelicula ou documental sobre la lupe?por cierto magistral caracterisaçiom de la lupe por laura velez.

  • divinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • la "Lupe" es una estrella CUBANA que brilo con luz propia y que en sus destellos se podia apreciar la capasidad interpretativa de esta sublime de la rumba y el bolero , THE LATIN SOUL le llamaban,(simplemente amazing)THANK YOU 4 D VIDEO.

  • La Lupe was very quick with her responses, very outspoken, Jolly, confident (also very "Street") and often exaggerated her movements when she performed. Awesome woman. I hope she is well portrayed for this movie.

  • ¡muy impresionante!

  • Amazing!

  • she did an excellent job!!!! bravo

  • where can we get this film? why don't have we received more distribution or information of it? thanks for answer!

  • excellent interpretation

  • Very bad interpretation.

  • I hope this film gets wide distribution. Lauren Velez is outstanding as La Lupe!

  • What is she saying??? i'd really like to learn the lyrics...

  • When did this movie come out? I can't find it? I

  • Ridiculously powerful: knock out voice. keel over performances. If there was ever an artist that could represent the universal poster child of resistance and revolution, then La Lupe would be the winner of such title. After watching this and other of her videos, it always feel like I've been through a tumble dryer. Alive, refreshed and a bit overheated.

  • She did a great job

  • No es La Lupe, es Laura Velez haciendo una emulación de La Lupe

  • god thats one ugly chick no wonder nobody ever heard of her.

  • @ItsJustTruth SHUT THE FUCK UP

  • @aqban22 shut up ya dirty dish washing mexican

  • Tito Puente replaced La Lupe????? with Celia Cruz?????

  • This would be a great film to see-- they should try and get some help from sympathetic parties-- Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez, Danny Glover, Will Smith..

  • Yeah baby I Like It Like That !! I love Lauren Velez.. I hope this comes out !!

  • grande la lupe

  • Shes hot

  • lithiumseerauber:

    try not to think of it as a "fail" which is a very non-afro-cuban modern techno youtube way of thinking of things. think of it as a a loving tribute from a child of the tradition. it's never as good as the original, but still something to appreciate!

  • en este video se nota claramente la fuerte personalidad de LA LUPE .

    toda una mujer

    LA LUPE LO MEJOR DE LO MEJOR .

  • Wow, Amazing act done in honor of La Lupe from Lauren Velez, can't hardly wait to see the whole work!, thanks for posting :p

  • the only thying is that she wasnt high as hell like the lupe was when preforming she mastered that and we love it

  • Mi gente la cancion es de la lupe pero hellouuuuu esa no essssssssssssssss logicooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • SAY WHAAAT?! NO SHIT RIHANNA! oh hell no!! La lupe was a force of recognition!

    rihanna she is a fine singer, but trust me...she can't achieve that kind of level "la lupe" was.

  • Que energia tan bella de esta mujer yo no la conocia, ella y Celia lo maximo

  • gracias al internet se esta haciendo justicia . muchisima gente ahora tiene la oportunidad de conocerla y oirla cantar y de saber la extraordinaria cantante que fue . una cantante fuera de serie , unica .

    muchas gracias por colgar todos los videos de LA LUPE y si tienen mas por favor ponganlos . graciassss

  • Laura es formidable!

  • Ms Lauren MURDERED this!! She was excellent! does anyone know the name of these songs? And if this is a movie, when is it gonna come out?

  • The Movie is not gonna come out. This was just an experiment. A deal is on the works but it's not this one. The songs are "Carbonero" and "La Tirana"

  • how sad. y isnt it coming out?

  • Funding Plus, delays, delays, delays.

    this video was an experiment cause La Lupe didn't act like that. She was more sweet and playful not all in your face. It'll happen though just not this year.

  • While you guys are sound like some people at a wine & cheese party critiquing some bread or salami, Laura Velez is KILLING IT.

    "Falls flat"? You don't know very much about Victoria, her life or how she acted. it's nearly impossible to copy, and no one has even tried. to top it off Laura Velez can actually sing (you can't see it here, she is lip syncing) rihanna? you're out of your mind. she is a no talent garbage model with management. don't even talk about her and laura in the same breath.

  • i agree with you

  • having a similar facial structure and nose,(although much prettier) besides she has the euphoria and the dramatic talent in her blood to pull the job off spectacularly, But i am not sure she would be interested in the job, nor that it would be offered to her.

  • How is that? I don't think Rihanna would do a better job. It's a movie and she is not a actress.

  • AlaricePent : who the hell is Selena Gomez. La Lupe - La yiyiyi fue una legenda con la voz de un angel. Tu compare to anyone would be a tragedy.

  • joder, es que su persinalidad me puede, que persona mas bonita, se rompio el molde con ella, dios se la llevo para tenerla pa el solito, que me la bendiga, maxy

  • Un excelente show..... Gracias por publicar!!!!!!!!~

  • Que bella!!! Excelente actriz escogieron para el papel de La Lupe...Definitivamente imitar a La Lupe es un lujo, y no tan solo la actriz se parece fisicamente, casi casi le devuelve la vida a La Lupe con su interpretacion..Bravo!!!

  • Perhaps someone should ask the Black Eyed Peas where they ripped off their last single from? lupe.

  • LA LUPE , la mala de la pelicula , gran interprete de nuestra musica latina , para mi , muy adelantada , musicalmente , a su tiempo , VIVA LA LUPE .... QDEP

  • There was a very successful tribute to La Lupe in NYC years ago called "La Lupe, Mi Vida Mi Destino". I saw it five times and it was always sold out.

    There was also a very successful musical called "Celia" off Broadway. That show is now on tour. It went to Miami then to Spain. So there is a huge market out there comprised of all people. Why not mount another musical based on La Lupe?

    Los

    Nyc

  • Fuckin' FLAWLESS!

    Is this shit avail. for purchase or what?

  • Yo, I agree...if you know where to find this let me know..gracias

  • this is the BOMB!!

  • ¿ Por que Cuba da tan grandes y excepcionales artistas?

  • falso, muchos países tienen grandes artistas lo que ocurre es que los cubanos que salieron de la isla tenían y tienen especial promoción

  • no todos los paises porque hay muchisisimos paises ni un solo artista reconocido mundialmente tienen

  • Is there going to be an actual movie made? Or is this it?

  • Comment removed

  • Jesus, is the movie made or not ! lauren is a very good actress !!! but when is the movie gonna be shown already!

  • El filme es mediocre y la interpretacion de la protagonista muy lejos de convencer como cubana, la verdadera y unica identidad de La Lupe.

    Una buena version de la Lupe es el fime La Mala protagonizada por la cubana Lena Burke, nieta de uno de los monstruos musicales de la musica cubana.

  • lauren rocked it as la lupe she should do her in a movie

  • Me encanta Lauren como La Lupe ojala haga un tour y la traigan a Puerto Rico

  • Buen intento, pero las versiones "gringas" estereotipadas de nosotros los latinos, no tienen cabida en el anecdotario popular y público que sigió a estos grandes artistas de nuestras latitudes...

  • ?

    ¿qué quieres decir? creo que quedó bastante difuso tu comentario

  • wow

    i was crying watching the video..

    La Lupe for me is one of the most representative figures of the latin-american music..

    To my point of view she has everything, voice, sense of humor, a lot of passion, agreat personality that in those days still impacting people around the world...

    Gracias Lupe !

    Gracias !

  • @jesuskanessa SHE IS FROM CUBA!!!!

  • Sully Diaz sang the song and brought to her to life; i went to perfomance in NY and Miami and she was so great, I felt like she was alive. I feel Sully diaz already proved to be a actress who can do this bio-pic more naturally and smoother more realistic, it will give la lupe's story more justice. I hope Lupe family have a say in choosing someone like sully diaz

  • What does a Cuban look like, Lauren feature's are sharper, than La Lupe, the complexion, is fine, a mix of African, and Indian, the only thing is that La Lupe had a better shape, and a better voice, but she is better than Sully Diaz.

  • she doesnt sounds neither look Cuban. I think she doesnt fit La Lupe. Too far.

  • I have to totally agree about her not sounding and looking La Lupe. The accent is so New Yorkrican and a very nasal one at that. I think I could forgive not looking like her but I feel she should have put more effort in the accent instead taking the one she heard growing up.

  • How can she sound like her if she's LIPSYNCING? She mimics her mannerisms perfectly! Why you crying?

  • Almodovar,theSpanish film director, one of the best directors of the world, is one of the many fans of La Lupe in the intelectual field. And he have said that he always have wanted to make a film about La Lupe but have never find and actress wit fit her shoes.

  • maferefun oshun.

  • yes! la lupe omo ochun really reflects the orisha in everything she does

  • muy bueno!!

  • IRREPETIBLE....THE QUEEN

  • When will this finally be made intio a full feature movie? I just cant wait I like the way Lauren looks like La Lupe Great Job !

  • Come, she is good. A should say that no matter what, nothing is perfect, but she made a great performance of a wonderfull singer that as much as I know the new generations of cubans in the island do not know nothing about her and is good to put her back in the light.

  • well no one could be la lupe

    but when this movie come out (wich i hope it does very soon) I will be the first one in like for my ticket

    viva yiyiyi

  • her interpretation of la lupe just doesn't feel right...she could never be like her but she just doesn't seem even close to me, performance wise...but the attitude in the interview looks cool

  • I have a casting suggestion. I think Mexican actor Gael García Bernal ("Y Tu Mama Tambien") would be a perfect match to play La Lupe's young, good-looking second husband Willie Garcia or also known as "The Spaniard."

  • Wow! Lauren added another song. Totally amazing. Why hasn't this been produced as a full-feature yet? Are they still looking for a producer? If so, I would suggest either Emilio Estefan or film director Pablo Almovodar.

  • i think she did well...n she looks a lil bit like her

  • this looks amazing!!! cant wait for it to come out

  • How is Beyonce's Spanish?

  • she has sung in spanish, and its actually pretty good......

  • I partly agree with you; if only Lauren didn't lipsync the songs and sang it herself, I would be more impressed and comfortable with the performance and she'd have a better chance at winning an oscar!! :D

  • well, she sure can sing spanish better than Selena Gomez.......

  • neighther was la lupe she was cuban creole gte tha facts right only people from spain are spanish to a certain extent cus they arent pure but we are hispanic of many diffrent background not spanish educate yursel plus lauren did a great job recognize her talent she as many puerto rican had been able to play other celebrities from diffrent countries , yes she nuyorican but i bet she grew up with la lupe in her hose every saturday morning

  • I've never seen this... whoe!

  • Beyonce could play La Lupe, I just know it! :D either her, Lauren, or possibly Rosario? :)

  • Get real pent!! her voice sucks

    La lupe is an Icon that will take a lot to reproduce! until now I like Velez !!

  • beyonce has a decent voice. I'm just saying Lauren shouldn't lip sync throughout the whole movie. Does anybody know if Lauren CAN sing well???

  • not at all. both fail

  • imposible.

    La Lupe era La Lupe!

  • great job!

  • does anyone have any information about this movie

    i havent heard much about it

  • wow she's back....I getting goose bumps

  • she does look alot like her tho

  • She has to be more electrifying to be La Lupe....La lupe was energized always and moved fast

  • i dont hear much about this movie does any one have any info on it like when it is coming out. i realy like ot no

  • bueno exactamente lo que quisieron fue hacer una satira de la pelicula de Lavoe, al principio.. a mi si me encantaría que hicieran una pelicula de la vida de la Lupe pero con un gran guión que la vida de está mujer se lo merece, la actiz esta muy bien la verdad, sólo habría que ver cuando habla y se sienta esos gestos además de que la Yiyiyi era muy graciosa, hacia chistes increibles

  • Bueno "THEY CALL ME LA LUPE" eso es un documental hecho hacen varios años, asi que los que hicieron copia, fueron "otros"!!!

  • Buenisimo. grandisima..

  • Esta actriz es Muy buena.......PERO LA LUPE ES DEMASIAO PAQUETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Aqui vemos a la actriz haciendo tan solo un pedacito de la vida de La Lupe...AUN CREO QUE FALTA VER A LA LUPE CUANDO VA ENVEJECIENDO...Y CUANDO YA ES TODO UN FENOMENO EN EL ESCENARIO....ESPEREMOS QUE VENGA AUN MAS...para que muchos que no conozcan a la YIYIYI ...se enteren DE LO GRANDIOSA QUE FUE

  • esto es un insulto. la calidad es mediocre y sorry honey, pero todavia te falta muchas clasesitas de actuacion pa hacerlo como la lupe, parece que estas imitando a puchi en "el cantante". para empezar, la lupe no se sentaria asi...

  • hola ,bueno mi opinion es que ...ovbiamente esta mujer No es La Lupe,pero al menos es la mas parecida interpretacion que he visto de ella hasta ahora,porque hay una en el teatro...que ES HORRIBLE!,aparte que no estamos hablando de una actriz cualquiera...esta muchacha es muy conocida,creo que la actriz que haga de la Lupe no es tan solo hablar y parecerse...sino saber como actuar,aparte que este pedacito,no muestra por completo a la actriz...pero si estoy de acuerdo que le falta un poco mas.

  • This video isn't available either... Why don't they fucking pull it out of youtube, then? Makes people with low bandwidth connection waste time trying to open it for no reason...

  • what movie is this, and is it availible in stores?

  • La Lupe, I'm still waiting for it to come out myself.

  • No Beyonce is not for the part, sorry. I don't know what you were thinking.

  • oh come on, if she tried her best she might have a chance. Lauren Velez is overall better for the part, I couldn't think of anyone else.

  • LOL, Beyonce???? Good sense of humor.

  • Beyonce is too big to play el gorrioncito!!! her body is not for this, as her voice and her... mmm, nothing

  • I dont follow santeria but i do have alot of her santeria music like saraycacoco, guguaco bembe, Rezo-a-yemaya y bembe pata pata. I made my grandmother and aunt who follow santeria a cd of all la lupes santeria music.

  • is that the album were she is wearing the white dress and the back round is blue. the album is called la lupe es la reina.

  • exactly.

  • La Lupe even recorded a bunch of Santeria/Lucumi music (as did Celia Cruz and Hector Lavoe).

  • which songs are these? I myself am learning Santeria and was very excited to find La Lupe was crowned Oshun and would like to hear her sing of her religion...

  • OMG! Lauren is out of this world!! I hope J-Lo and Mark Anthony sees this. I read somewhere they are producing a bio-pic on La Lupe. Rosaria Dawson is being considered. Big mistake. Lauren only needs to work on La Lupe's manic, fast-talking, very thick Spanish-accented English speaking style.

  • Yes .....Jennifer Lopez bought the copyrights to make the MOVIE about La Lupe (as SHE DID with Hector Lavoe's movie)....now maybe could be only a documentary with Jlo as la Lupe but Laura Velez makes a better job as LA YIYIYI WOW she really impressed me !

  • when did she do this? I hope she's not going to star as La Lupe-- even tho i did love her in El Cantante and as Puchi was her best performance of her life-- because I think Laura Velez is amazing in the part...is JLO doing a documentary or movie? How did you find out about the copyrights?

  • Heck no! Rosario is a HUGE mistake! She doesn't have the authenticity-- she's too American, too New York, doesn't seem "earthy" "ethnic" or even "spiritual" or passionate enough to even be close to try to play La Lupe...

  • She could work on the authenticity... She has the voice.

  • I love la dawson, but you're right

  • Hello Makeivan,

    This Video is "DA BOMB"! Do you where i could obtain or watch it? Pls advice... Good job in posting it!!!!MUCH RESPECTS...

  • Makeivan, por favor podrias darme la referencia de esta pelicua,ya que la Lupe es un cuadro de mi infancia.Aqui en Francia es dificil.Gracias. Por fin una pelicula decicada a nuestra YIYI..........

  • no tiene su espiritu o su ritmo haha! tal vez ella miraba videos pa' paracer como la lupe....

  • When is the movie coming out.

    And what is Oshun do u mean Ochun

  • Ochun/Oshun is an orisha (god) that was brought from West Africa to Cuba by the slaves during the slave trade. She personifies wealth, beauty, the creative arts, and sensuality. La Lupe was rumored to have Ochun "crowned" on her head. There is even an album cover of La Lupe doing Ochuns "salute" wearing typical Santeria religious clothing.

  • What album cover is this? What is Ochun's salute?

  • Quien es esta chica?? Que bien lo hace se parece muchisimo a la Lupe

  • wasn't she omo Oshun? can anyone give anymore info about this?

  • Yes.  She was crowned Oshun in the Bronx.

  • La yiyiyi, gracias por este video, a estas nuevas generaciones hay que enseñarles estos grandes talentos, para que aprendan a apreciar.

  • WOW... Lauren Velez did a damn good job on that on. Im sure the world misses La Lupe's Public Orgasms on stage. lol

  • you know i remember la lupe, i used to watch her perform in Puerto Rico and she was outrageous, she was a ball of fire, full of energy and contraversial. what a talented woman she was. She was not appreciated because of her crazy behaviour and drug usage. I think that Lauren has done a pretty good job doing La LUPE, she may need to be more sassy and crazy to give the role more spyce, but all and all Give credit where credit is due, she is duing a good job.

  • wow that's harsh! I don't know if you've seen pix of Lupe but she often looked like she was in drag. Having worked with Lauren I know this was an experimental video done about five years ago. Not meant for public viewing. I know when the movie finally happens she's gonna rock it! The girl has heart!

  • La Yiyiyi was THE DRAG

  • um... you must not know La Lupe's work very well. She WAS a drag queen!!! My grandmother always said, "Talk about what you know" and id like to give you the same advice. This is obviously an experimental/test video and I think she could definately bring it. She did a hell of a lot better than Sully Diaz in under 10 mins.

  • work

  • mi corazon es muy feliz. can't wait i always loved lauren velez. her twin sister is an actress as well. hope to see this really soon.

  • i've been waiting for this movie for YEARS, it feels like it's been in the works forever. i knew my lauren would kill it, this trailer looks like proof positive. whyyyyyyy isn't there a release date??

  • Esta mujer es INCREI
