La Reina Is Eternal!! Oct 22, 2009 I've been waiting for this documentary to be made every since
her passing from brain cancer in 2003.
There was another one which I owned briefly that seemed pretty
good except it was all in spanish with no subtitles, so I regretfully
had to return it. But this one I saw tonight for the first time on PBS
and thought that it was fantastic!
Celia Cruz was and is forever an icon & worldwide
ambassador of salsa music, love, understanding and afro-caribbean culture in general!
Her rallying cry...AZUCAR!!--Was known by all who loved her amazing voice,
flamboyant & joyful personality as well as her huge infectious spirit throughout
her unprecedented 50 yr career!
I liken her to great american artists of the past like Ella Fitzgerald,
Louis Armstrong, Mahalia Jackson, etc., in that she transcended
just music and was something much more on the world stage and to all who knew of her!
Like the aforementioned artists, Celia Cruz's music, voice and personality
got down deep inside your soul irregardless of race, language, socio-economic
background or education level!--Her funeral, like the funerals of Ella, Louis & Mahalia,
was attended by heads of state, her peers within the music & entertainment industry,
and of course her devoted fans, who filed past her open coffin in both Miami & New York City
100,000 strong to show their love for their "La Reina", who was such an integral part
of their lives!--Again, this is a must-have DVD for Celia Cruz fans and worth every dollar!
Rest In Peace Forever Celia "La Reina" Cruz!!---(October 21, 1925 - July 16, 2003)
