  • Thank you for the beautiful pictures of la reina!

    Are you related to Zoila in some way? My best friend's name is Zoila and I always loved that i had that in common with Celia!!

  • My wife (Zoila)was a close friend of Celia's for over 30 yrs and did her make up on many of her appearances. Celia and Pedro were our Godparents. We loved her sincerely and appreciated her humanity. Thanks for your comments.

  • Thank you, I have many more to post in near future, 5 parts in total. We want everyone to enjoy the times we spent together with her.

see all

  • Cruz left Cuba in 1960, believing she would return. Then she decided to settle in the United States. Two years later, her mother died, and the Castro government would not allow her to return for the funeral. When she yells, "Azucar!" (literally means "sugar,") but it served Celia Cruz as a "battle cry" and an allusion to African slaves who worked Cuba's sugar plantations.

    

  • Celia Cruz was born in 1925, not 1950.

  • Hola! Muchísimas gracias por compartir con nosotros este tesoro tan hermoso y significativo! La Reina, Celia Cruz, vivirá mientras personas como usted y su esposa, y nosotros vivamos! Que viva Celia Cruz! Que viva la Sonora Matancera de Cuba! Kenneth

  • Es una pena q haya muerto sin haber podido cantar en Cuba como ella quería, y sin haberla visto libre, pero cuando podamos regresar tendra ese lugar tan especial en nuestra linda tierra a la cual nunca olvidó, y para toda esa nueva generacion que no la conoció, la pueda recordar, Q descanses en paz Celia !!!.
