[cholito2818]

THIS VIDEO HAS NO SOUND?

[chicodigital]

@cholito2818 hummm, i don't know what happened! i hope it comes back soon, if not i will contact youtube. thanks for letting me know.

[catrileo68]

And where is the sound?

[chicodigital]

Please, only positive comments! I will not allow La Lupe's name to be thrown around as a drug addict! She DID NOT use drugs! Is it really so hard to believe that someone can actually be truly eccentric and original? Please no drug comments! Or else be deleted! Long live the Queen! La Lupe! Drug free!

[PanaRican2]

@chicodigital Well La Lupe was a one of a kind sorry for a bad audio i could hear anything but she was a true Queen DIVA and BELLA

[richierichnumber1]

I love La Lupe she was great..They don't make'em like her anymore...cruz, gloria none of them can hold a candle to La Lapue exept Salena.

[dahplazz]

Pacmann you're a coward.. Check yourself before judging anyone.. She was our influence our soul and our inspiration. Repect the queen of Latin soul! La yiyiyi!! R.I.P

[ricosniper]

I dont care about the cuban , puerto rrican, the latino and all the issues. i care about the icon, la yi yi yi, LA LUPE. she still sounds in my home today. And the day she had her debut in el teatro puerto rico, my mother was there and i was in a baby stroller sleeping with her wonderful sound.

[1msbracey]

afro latina baby all day......

[xta51]

afrocuban.. no latina

[kalandro14]

LATINA

[xta51]

@1msbracey eso lo dicen porque no nacio en el pais de ustedes, sino otro gallo cantaria.. solo cuba ha dado estos personajes inmortales... sino, porque fue la lupe y no otra del pais de ustedes..

[papamalo]

sajomero: doesn't make a difference why she wasn't famous in cuba, though I understand the reasons.

What matters is that all Latinos, especially Puerto Ricans in NYC made her a star. so don't try to re-write history to exclude Boricuas from the picture.

she never did.

We are from different places but part of one whole.

Yours truly,

"El Cubano"

[sajomero]

I dont entirely agree with you Hastafuera. She's not famous in Cuba because its against the law to play her music. In many countries her music is still played today, not so in PR because of all the legal crap around it. She was boycotted by Ms Silva if you didnt know that. In the Dominican Republic you can tune into a radio station and they play her music on a daily basis. She is still huge there, a country which she also loved and still love her.

[xta51]

La lupe es conocida en cuba, se fue porque sus actuaciones temperamentales fueron prohibidas alla, se le agradece a los puertoriquenos que la quieran tanto, pero ella triunfo por ella misma, fue dejada aun lado tambien en nueva york, vivo pobremente en el bronx... olvidada por todos. Fue otra vez recordada, gracias a Pedro Almodovar ( director espanol) que incluyo uno de sus temas en una de sus peliculas en el ano 1988, La lupe actuo en toda la america latina, y es recordada en el mundo entero!

[sajomero]

Yo estuve en Cuba, pocos la conocian. Aun cuando fue a La Red, que fue su disco, nadie sabia nada de ella ni que eso fue de ella. Su fama sigue viva y sigue creciendo. Irrepetible e inolvidable.

[xta51]

Cuando se fue de cuba era muy joven y fue hace muchos anos, pero si tuvo su lugar en al habana, uno que ella compro, por ahi pasaron muchas figuras del mundo entero, incluyendo norteamericanos que disfrutaron de sus temperamentales actuaciones, las ropas de ella, terminaban en las piernas de estas figuras, ya en cuba era un personaje.. cuado llego a nueva york, celia cruz la recomendo y fue contratada.. lo demas es historia.. Yo quiero mucho a los puertoriquenos.. pero por favor no exageren.!

[hastafuera]

She was Cuban. True.

But, only thanks to Newyoricans and Puertoricans her memory is alive today. They did the job keeping her singing. She admitted it many times her love for Puerto Rico and the East Harlem.

I'm Cuban and love Mexico, Puerto Rico, Ohio, East and West Harlem and everything else.

[poindexterqueef]

A very, very special, dynamic, heart wrenching, profound, sensuous,fun & passionate artist! Generations to come will learn about her & come to love her work anew! Absolutely no doubt in my mind about that!

[LaSalamandra19]

Si a más de un latino trasnochado La Lupe lo dejó con la boca abierta, por su energía desbordante yextraordinario performance caribeño hasta la médula, me imagino como quedaría el público norteamericano..Bravo por su autenticidad donde está su alma en estos momentos, fue única...!!!!

[algerianangel38]

she was fierce!

[BrkCityFG9]

she was born in Cuba!! What the fuck is wrong with you. You started some shit on the other page too.

[lamulatona06]

La Lupe, or La Yiyiyi, born Guadalupe Victoria Yolí Raymond (Santiago de Cuba, 23 December 1936

[lamulatona06]

mira a este estupido she was cuban

[Khamomil]

I love La Lupe. She has the most powerful and expressive voice of all Latin female singers I've ever heard. Celia Cruz didn't have so much emotion in her voice, as good as she was. La Lupe was "endiablada", inhabited by rhythm and she always looked like she was going to take it all off on stage so she would be more comfortable dancing. lol. I think the American public took her oddities and exotic charm superficially and this did her harm. Her boleros are truly heart-wrenching.

[DD2221983]

Hey, DO NOT not COLOR CODE anyone

It is rude and insulting.

[latina305mami]

She was CUBAN dummy...she didnt look nothing like a white woman

[shaspassren]

What is the songs she is singing if any one nows can they please tell me ty

[shaspassren]

[piinkgothbabe]

[shaspassren]

I hope the bio of her made everyone no who she was white black latino

[Mantronix10]

Everyone that likes this should also see Fefita la grande from DR.

[chicodigital]

Hello friends, I am happy LA LUPE'S video has been viewed so many times. It truly is a blessing. I wanted LA LUPE'S music to be known and I think she is making a great comeback!

Please, do not add any negative comments on the comment section. I do not intend for LUPE to have a reputation as a drug user. She never did any drugs! She was eccentric and unusual but it doesn't endorse drug use. Thanks for all the positive comments and QUE VIVA LA LUPE! AHI-NA-MA

[kiaspicey]

I love her my parents played her music and they didnt speak a word of spanish. Before jlo there was LaLupe.

[Latinsoul65]

A lot of the mexicans don't really know of "La Lupe". There are more mexicans that know about her now due to Almodovars exposure of her music and also the documentary but they weren't really into La Lupe back when she was popular during the 1960's and 1970's. After La Lupe left Cuba she went to Mexico City to perform in several night clubs and cabarets but she didn't last long in Mexico City because most of the mexicans couldn't relate to her unique style of Latin Caribbean singing.

[belinpr]

Que ENERGIA se'nores!

[SAPI3NS]

I hate how at the end the band plays mexican music, God, just cause someone latin doesnt mean their mexican!!

[chicodigital]

Dear SAP13NS, I am very proud that LA LUPE had a mexican sound finishing at the end of the clip. She was singing a traditional mexican song "en el rancho grande" and to finish off the tune they ended it the mexican way. I as a fan of LA LUPE and of mexican decent and I feel very proud to have LUPE sing a non-recorded tradtional mexican song. LA LUPE was indeed CUBAN but she is LATIN in all and that involves Mexico and all of Latin America and the Islands. Viva LA LUPE!

[SAPI3NS]

Ohh ok, didnt know she had sung a mexican song...I guess I'm just a little tired of it cause I'm in U.S. now and everybody asumes I'm Mexican just cause my name's Eduardo :@:@:@

[wrdv49]

i love your reply to sapi3ns. QUE VIVA TODA LATINOAMERICA!

[BLAKPEARL69]

she was full of raw energy wow. i'm of portuguese descent but i love latin music. viva la lupe.

[cubita8]

i love her. grew up listening to her. Get her greatest hits album available at virgin records.

[shaspassren]

i wish they would show this episode on tv.

[BattleAngel]

haha that might have been the best dick cavett show ever!!!

[droppedScarf]

Where can I find this film? I'm desperate. I've looked and I can't find it anywhere. Help!

[cosadehorno]

[osikan]

Gracias por la lupe!!!

[butterrican41]

I love La Lupe... she deserves alot more credit than being in the shadow of Tito Puente...

[deveredw]

la lupe is a bona-fide legend! ive never seen dick cavette get lose like that on his show with any other guest! she totally whipped him into a white boy frenzy! work it mama!

[joeysings]

Thanks for the great post..also remember, La lupe was on Merv Griffin's show in the 70's and I was there with her.

[cinnamonstar808]

WOW SHE IS THE BOMB !

[joeysings]
