LA LUPE QUEEN OF LATIN SOUL 3

[budin8]

Simplemente lo mejor que uno puede escuchar. Esta mujer estaba demasiado de solida. La fuerza interpretativa era muy fuerte.

[divina341]

la reina de todos

[FairtyTales92]

I love her passion that she shows!

[puertorricane]

[philipkaka]

che passione

[05tonytin]

La Lupe qdep q voz q tenia esa mujer

[aurelioan100]

demasiado buena y jamas abra nadie igual a ella

[poncenoboricuatira]

NO FUE LA CAIDA DE ELLA FUE QUE LA ISIERON BOTAR PARA PONER A CELIA CRUZ FUE UNA SUSTITUCION SEGUN CUENTAN

[puertorricane]

@poncenoboricuatira tienes toda la razon en esos tiempos existia lo que existe hoy. En donde las disqueras quieren decidir quien se hace famoso quien suena en la radio y quien no. La fania compro a la disquera que tenia a la lupe y luego la delegaron a un segundo plano para poder subier la imagen de celia. No la dejaron salir de su contrato para que pudiera firmar con otra disquera. Le grababan discos de segunda y luego no los promocionaban.

[spababy120]

Just saw Velez in the play. She was fabulous!!!!

[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!

[jupiter2092]

@chicodigital profoundly I admired la lupe very talented woman from la isla de cuba she was original and sinsere person with alot of hapiness great singer it is better to talk about the poistive than the negative side from her,but we can not ignored her addiction, but always enforced it in a positve way she was great I love her music que viva en nustro corazon la lupe

[shaspassren]

THEY NEED TO HAVE A VIDEO OF HIM INTERVIEWING HER

[RCTVES]

Lupe, donde estes en ese cielo que nos cubre, te recordare cuando era un niño hace mas de 40 años atras, ya me impresiono tu arte y tus modos de cantar, Bravo Lupe, eres una de las mas grandes interpretes de la musica latina y cubana!.

Pura energia y vibraciones fabulosas....

[MsPpp000]

[cosmopolita99]

Que barbara , esta mujer me para el pelo, era tan buena interprete!!! lastima que no este mas entre nosotros, al menos la podemos disfrutar aqui...

[mobutu1126]

los comentarios degradantes no me afectan a mi concepto sobre esta gran mujer que sre que mi madre adoro y sigue adorando. que viva la LUPE, LA YIYIYI.

[myrnaluz4442]

Me encantaba La Lupe mi madre escuchaba sus canciones y yo creci escuchandola y admirando su fortaleza escenica!! La Lupe fue, es y seguira siendo la mejor!!

[demaris2]

i love her so much

[luisjerseydc]

ella admiraba mucho a celia pero hubo un problema entre ellas lo cual hizo que celia estuviera en la fania y la lupe no. Celia dijo o ella o yo!

[nnnnnsssssssssllllln]

@luisjerseydc pero cual fue el problema que tenian?...

[grifon507]

Todos sabemos que la Lupe estaba media TOSTAITA pero como cantante hermano esta mujer es lo maximo....le metia alma, vida y corazon a sus interpretaciones....sinceramen­te y segun todo lo que he leido con la caida de LA LUPE...surge la fama de Celia Cruz..incluso se ha llegado a decir que como la LUPE era fanatica de celia desde chica, no le gustaba que le dijeran que era superior a CELIA..se ofendia....

[DD2221983]

Que tu quieres decir con eso de " media TOSTAITA"?

[lorimarlopez]

"Tostaita" es como decir "un poco loca"

[DD2221983]

No pues, disculpen___ yo crei que tostaita se referia al color de esa bella piel canela que tenia....y que muchos de nosotros tenemos, Bueno saludos a todos !! y arriba La Lupe y en este caso todos estamos medios tostaitos!!! salud!!

[torovavan]

tostaita mean talento que dios le dio',

lo que quiere decir que su locura es lo mejor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rovebi]

@grifon507 Claro... es como ahora La India... que no le gustan cuando le dicen que es la sucesora de celia Cruz, o que ya no es la princesa, si no la reina, Ya que esta murio.... En todo caso, Grande la Lupe, Celia, India y todas las mujeres que han dejado huella...

[ochunnn]

@grifon507 medio tostaita??? compay no te lle ve de los comentarios de la gente y predica lo k tu vea con tus propios ojos... deja a celia k ella fue la buena beba de la epoca la lupe fu lo k hoy seria la politicamente incorrecta ya tu sabras pork verda mi pana ??? paz y amor para todos

[CP3LB23]

shes fucking raw ders no one lyk her. she was a crazy singer she was always high on heroin b4 her concerts but it didnt matter cus her performence was awesome.

[TheAdrianaalexia]

QUE VOZ QUE DIOS LA TENGA EN LA GLORIA.

[canabis22]

BELLISIMA!!!!!!

[pacomelo76]

ay yiyiyi inmensa la Lupe, pocas con semejante vozarron.......viva por simpre

[azucar29]

[MARIAMAMA1]

I am thankful I was able to see her in person after she became a christian she came to Holyoke, MA  and she was great.

AMEN !!!

[enzogianvittorio]

once again I say it: SHE REALLY DID IT HER WAY !! Indeed :)))

She was unique! thanks for posting such an historic document of the Queen of Latin Soul performance !

[chicaastuta2002]

I don't know why people keep doing the Celia Cruz vs La Lupe thing. That's like comparing Aretha Franklin to Chaka Khan (or something like that). Quite frankly I don't think the two should be compared at all. They were both absolutely amazing in their OWN right, so let's just leave it at that!

[Latinsoul65]

I absolutley agree!!!

It's like comparing Oranges with Apples, duh.

[chicaastuta2002]

Alright! Soul Sista #1! La YiYiYi! She was truly amazing! I wish I had a chance to meet her. She seemed really down [to earth].

[Stertje1979]

La Emy Winehouse de aquella epoca!

[canabis22]

la lupe LE RONCA EL MAMBO.. ES LA MEJORRRRRR

[tormentalj]

La mejor de Verdad, Gracias a Dios murio en paz... Y lejos de tanta locura!!!

[allandy4u]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! This chick is crazy! i think she's my new favorite person :)

[MininaBlue]

Best of the best !!!!!!!!! Love her!!!!!!!!!!

[trigamias]

I totally agree with you!!!!!!!! GODDESS. We miss her way!!!!!!!

[sauryd]

¡¡¡waoo!!!! pero que vozzz, esta muy bueno el video

[enzogianvittorio]

She did it her way !!!! great !!!

thanks for posting this video!!

[YakoUnder]

Damm La YIYI que vozzzzz

[ochogritos7929]

gracias por este video tan raro porque estoy re-descubriendo esta voz poderosas de mi niñez-- she was there before Celia and it wuold have great to see them together

[quecrica]

orgullo latino

[infiniteblaq08]

I went to see her when she was older after she converted to Pentecostal Christian. I had no idea of her career. Although she was singing Christian songs she had a powerful voice and presentation.

[riffrafoo]

This woman was one of the worlds great singers of all time. There will never be another like her. She went into the heavens with the hands of god taking her there.

[johnbunny135]

What would it have been like to get to hear and see La Lupe on stage with Elvis and Frank, all singing My Way. Wow!

[bxkorupt]

mambo started in cuba and was the base for salsa, the clave originated in cuba!

[MatuArt]

Yes, Mambo started in NYC...Dah Bronx had it's big share of Salsa/Mambo giants. Bronx here, next door too Professor Torres of Willie Colon band, piano!

[MatuArt]

Ache' Lupe

[eliel01]

que monstra...

[lithiumseerauber]

beatiful La Lupe! omo Oshun! you can see Oshun really coming all through her...there will never be another like her. I wish there were more information about her available in biographies and whatnot. She was amazing...

[miamicubanman]

There are no comparisons to be made and no need to put someone down in order to describe La Lupe´s talent. I was a kid, growing in NYC, and saw this performance glued to the TV. She was captivating with an undescribable

charisma and presence. I have yet to see another performance with such energy. She really was the Queen of Latin Soul, adored by Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Venezuelans and everybody who was lucky enough to hear/see her. May she rest in peace!!!!

[shaspassren]

DONT WORRY LA LUPE I FEEL IT LOL :)

[luvureally]

so was La Lupe, La Lupe's ancestors were enslaved by people who spoke Spanish & Rihanna's were enslaved by people who spoke English. Now if you are going by talent alone, of course Rihanna cannot be mentioned in same breath. But they are both of African descent.

[c12man]

Then why even mention Rihanna and her big ass forehead...

[luvureally]

Because someone else said Rihanna couldn't play the part because she was black. They are both Black! They shouldn't be the only reason she should or shouldn't. When her hair was pulled away from her face La Lupe hada rather prominent "African" forehead also!!!

[laneutra]

la mejor sin duda, genuina, autética, gran voz, con personalidad, vamos una verdadera artista. un beso desde españa.

[Harmonious128]

I hate when they call it Afro-Cuban. It's actualy Afro-Caribean. But getting back to it, La Lupe was the best.

[zim5354]

its actually cuban period, as cubans are a mix of whites, the native indians that lived on cuba and the africans they brought there.

[Harmonious128]

So what! Dominicans and Puerto Ricans also share the same racial blend of white, aborigines and black African slaves. Salsa was born in New York. It emerged from displaced youth from these Caribbean countries (cultures). They missed their homelands. They blended the music of their ancestors, and added their own touch. In the beginning, many criticized this blend. They claimed this was not real music. But the music stood the test of time. And now it's totaly chic.

[MrBrandini]

Esta mujer tiene un talente tan bueno.

Soy Americano, y tengo Padres que no son del caribe pero todavia la musica de esta mujer me ah tocado mi alma.

[guajira777]

Santeria is not vodoo, Santeria it is a division of Lucumi or Yoruban religions from Africa, Spaniards brings lots of slaves to Cuba from Africa, this slaves wanted to practice their religion, but Spaniards didnt want them to practice, so they had to use the Catholic Icons , (sincretism) to practice the only believe they knew, Vodoo, is not Santeria, we have to look at this as a cultural thing. You cant judge people for their believes, Jesus say, dont judge.

[musurute2]

Everybody in entitled to voice opinion in this blog. But there are people, who without any sense of relevance reply with stupid comments... Moron.Ignorant

SoHot and so stupid...

[pumpupdabrain]

When I was ten, my father prohibited her albums at our apt. in Brooklyn. Which only meant that we would sneak into someone's apt to listen huddled in a back room. She was AWESOME! If you closed your eyes while listening, she had a passion like no other. I no in my forties, and I am rediscovering her. She WAS HUGE!

[abuzinnar]

LOL. In my house, whenever she would come on TV my mother would send the kids to another room. At the end of the performance, I could hear my mom saying "que horror". She was ahead of her times. She was misunderstood. RIP.

[xXxERICxXx8]

LOL!!! That's what I'm talking about!!! Love it!! My grandmother was the one saying "que horror". I think secretly my mother knew that La Lupe, with her voice, could do things to men that no other singer could do!!! Puro teatro!!!

[shaspassren]

But u have to dmit when she left santeriea she wasent La Lupe no more. And no latin sing can comptete with here. Ayenama

[musurute2]

The Greatest Singer that unlike Celia, she renounced to evil Santeria or vodoo and daied with the lord in her heart. That is when she achieved the greatness af all, when she received the Lord Jesuscrist as her saviour.

She was taken advatage of by Record Companies and Representatives who ewxplited her and got her into drugs and alcohol. But eventually she redesigned her life.

I admire her as the Greatest Fenale singer of Cuba... sorry for Celia but La LUPE was better.

[pedrpk2]

Lástima que Celia Cruz la haya apartado y la haya vetado, pero bueno, ahí está tremenda voz del Caribe.

[lithiumseerauber]

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

[Ositavzla2008]

Grandeeeee!!!!! Excelente, Unicaaaa, nadie se parece ni se parecerá a ella.

Es única, no hay comparación.

[8ferny]

This comment is for those rocky singers. In order to learn lyric interpretation you must wacth La Lupe,if you weak on intonation, listen to her, she is the best free teacher you can get. Yes, she had her habit, and she found the lord, now she is saved.When you listen to la Lupe( boleros) you feel like crying, that means she is delivering the massage.God bless all talented people.

[eddie1967]

Well said!

[chicabon]

yeah, India would be perfect.

[lilianeAgra]

Jlo has NO talent as a singer and can barely dance. Lauren Velez will be the best for this part.

[josepvargas]

Have you guys ever heard of Yolanda Duke?

[eddie1967]

THAT GENIUS CALLED THE QUEEN!!!

[riffrafoo]

This woman was a gift from god. She is copied by artist today. a true diva. We will never have another.

[Petroushka45]

Una gran cubana, una gran cantante, què pena que se haya marchado, y que a ello muchas personas hayan ayudado....

[etie50]

did she die of a heart disorder or attack?

[qbanlatin1971]

que viva oshun en ella, toda la culpa no es la santeria si no la persona, ella es una grand artista en nuestra vida y siempre sera

[BLAKPEARL69]

very emotional singer such passion whe she sings.

[mamibunny]

wow... she was amazing... I wish I was around when she was alive... Its a shame she died alone... and was addicted to drugs...

[mariemusic]

La Diva!

[marbleann]

I love her, I just realized looking at this she sounds like Judy Garland a little bit.

[azucar29]

some one has to look like her to play her role not lauren velez

[azucar29]

it is very sad that good singer like her are gone every time she sing she cry and also posses by her cuadro espiritual you can tell by the way she moves

[sonicesocool]

I love her - her voice seemed to falter here and she was self conscious which is rare for her. I'd love to know the backs story of this performance.

[dieudonneMC]

Is this michael douglas? where did you find that old fossil?

[Rambala73]

UNICA EN SU ESTILO!!!!!!!!!!!

[karlencita]

si era loka ella

pero me alegra haberla visto cantarle a dios en otro video... porke me amaste primero...

[AthenaGM]

K bella!!! la mejor mano!! q chula cara!!!!

AGM

[glorialugo7]

Aqui se ve muy timida y retraida al comienzo de la canción, despues empieza a tomar mas confianza.

[onecharmingbastard]

She is unbelievable - and how she eclipsed my radar for all these years is beyond me - thank you PBS, you made me love her :-)

[shaspassren]

I loved the la lupe bio last nite im 15 years old and i love all of her songs. i enjoyed looking at the pictures and clip they had of her. it was sad to see her dead i wounder if she was alive if she would still be singing

[Rinnage]

I'm around your age, slightly older. Nonetheless, I love her songs. She is so passionate, and has such a personality. Her song "My way" "Como Acostumbro" is a perfect song for her. She did it her way, and didn't care what anyone thought. She sang and made songs without falling into that stereotypical female singer category.

[shaspassren]

finally The la lupe bio is today

[Rinnage]

It was good.

[visualdigiart]

esto es de las mejores cosas que he visto en youtube. one of the best videos evern on youtube. thanks for posting it!

[Lumaxsa]

check your local pbs stations for documentary on her Sept 10, and on the 16 th. Called Independent Lens La Lupe, the queen of Latin Soul,

[shaspassren]

Does anyone no if they r making a movie about her the same way they did for hector lavoe i hope they do. I love this song she does it better then anyone else and did u no that paul anka wrote this song i found that out today

[wiroeljohe]

Pietaje prviene de The Mike Douglas Show del 1970. La Cancion Como acostumbro Esta en el album Ese Genio Llamado LA REINA del Sello Tico/Roulette.Gracias Por Este Pietaje......BESTIAL.

[shaspassren]

I dont care who plays La Lupe as long as they look like her and have the passion that she has in her music.

[Rinnage]

Yeah, that's true. I don't know any actresses that look like her (that are already in the industry) or have a little spice, beside Lauren Velez. Maybe an unknown star? But I heard she was doing something, I hope it's good. *Actress should resemble and act good as her*

[MissJinx1]

Esta Mujer ERA PURO TALENTO! QUE VIVA LA LUPE!

[recofla]

ESTA NEGRA FUE TREMENDA,,, y no se si era tendencia de esa epoca pero en la gran mayoria de videos ke la he visto esta sin microfono,,, seria por la potencia de su voz ???

[lenguadehacha]

¡Que cuerpazo tenía esta mulataaa! ¡Era un mujerón!

[deveredw]

damn she is on FIRE!!!! so much raw energy....and she held back for the american censors but u can tell that fire was there! i LOVE this woman!!

[PisceanBeautyy]

What is the name of this song?

[caribbaby]

"My Way" by Frank Sinatra translated into Spanish.

[drizzle7]

"Como acostumbro" from her Cd: "One of a Kind"

[drizzle7]

She wrote the spanish lyric.

[shaspassren]

Now if they could only make a movie on la lupe the same way they did hector lavoe

[caribbaby]

They probably will. ;-)

[Rinnage]

Yeah! And Lauren Velez should play as La Lupe.

[GarageGuy1977]

This lady was amazing, and indeed a legend.

The way she died was horrible, not to mention she died alone.....and broke. Money isn't a factor....her voice and her impact in Latin music is far beyond monetary comparison!

[rwzal]

Justo lo que queria ver, en color!!!

Gracias!!

[MrOshun]

ibae OKAN TOMI

[hipervola]

qué mujerón! la estrella del fuego y del temperamento, sin duda

[cbm78]
