SUGAR!

[pacojo1]

I saw this video for the first time about 2 months ago. Since that time, I have fallen head over heels in love with this woman. I have watched it many many times as well as the other videos. My current favorites are the live version of Bemba Colora andEl Yerberito Moderno. I saw Tito Puente a couple of times back in the 90's but regret never having known about let alone seen Celia live. I could watch her all day and night. Viva La Reina!!

La unica reina de la salsa, nunca saldra otra igual. La verdad q cada vez q escucho a la fania y a todos esos musicos uno sin haber vivido en esas epocas, siente como si se transportara a esas epocas, la verdad que los Latinos tenemos nuestra gracia y mucho "cache" Celia Cruz tuvo una voz de una Diosa.

Latin Music is so great. It makes me want to be latino even though I love who I am. The music is captivating. Celia Cruz is a miraculous phenomenon and Pacheco is amazing as well. Viva La Musica!!

[fedthefukup]

hasta en el ensallo el alma de la reina brilla como una estrella. Siempre su luz radia bien pero bien brillante

[Gentrone]
