Member CD Reviews Amanda M. from MONROEVILLE, NJ Reviewed on 9/3/2009... It's impossible to sit still listening to this music!
CD ReviewsLa Reina de la Salsa/The Queen of Salsa Luis Hernandez | New York, New York, USA | 09/23/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "In one of her most memorable stage concerts, Celia Cruz along with the help of some famous friends celebrate the world of Salsa music in pure splendor. "Celia Cruz & Friends: A Night of Salsa" is a PBS-produced special that features Celia performing for a sold-out crowd in Hartford, Connecticut. Performing many of her classics, including her trademark song, "Guantanamera," Celia is joined on stage by the late, great Tito Puente, who along with a full Latin orchestra rocks the house by all means necessary. My favorite song, "La Vida es un Carnaval" showcases Celia's ability to stir a crowd with her earthly vocals, her passion for salsa, and her strong cultural ties with the salsa music communities in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and New York. This song will blow anyone away! Trust me!Later in the program, she is joined on stage by her longtime friend and duet partner, Johnny Pacheco, and by La India, who is known to many as the "Princess of Salsa." This performance, which was the final time Celia and Tito performed before his death in May 2000, is not only a fitting tribute to Celia, but to Tito, who Celia has admired and loved since he helped her reach international stardom upon her arrival to New York after she left Cuba shortly after the Cuban Revolution of 1959. Celia never forgets those who helped her in the past and she graciously gives accolades to all the Puerto Rican artists who always were there for her. Celia is a true diva. Her choice of costumes and wigs has made her somewhat of a Latina Tina Turner, and her stage persona can't be matched even today. "Celia Cruz & Friends: A Night of Salsa" will provide you with an exciting, rhythm-filled performance that all with enjoy. There are no language barriers when it comes to music appreciation and Celia and friends will validate this statement entirely!" Grandiosa Cuba y Celia Jan Dolff | Paris | 02/27/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Un disco con mucho sabor cubano y con una canción, "La vida es un carnaval", que ya está triunfando en Hispanoamérica y que va a dar mucho que hablar en Europa. Cojonudo!"
