Celia Cruz, affectionately known as “La Reina de Salsa,” was a force of nature, an irreplaceable, once-in-a-generation female singer whose life and music echoed for over sixty years the trajectory of the Cuban Diaspora’s effect on Latin American and world culture. A ten-time Grammy nominee who recorded over seventy albums, she was awarded a Smithsonian Lifetime Achievement award, a National Medal of the Arts, and honorary doctorates from Yale University and the University of Miami. She also acted in nine movies, including Los Reyes del Mambo, and the Mexican soap operas Valentina and El Alma no Tiene Color.”*
