Adios querida celia - celia cruz muere

[Soul Rebel]

The queen of salsa has died today. She died in her New Jersey home from a brain tumor.

Adios querida celia :(
Adios a la sonrisa de una mujer tan bella :(
Adios a una voz unica :(

[Inti]

Que pena:(
A sad day, she really made nice music. :(

[Danton]

Shame she fled Cuba with Matamoros after the revolution. Musically though, yeah - first lady of salsa...

Ironicley most Cubans of our generation have never heard of her...

[El Brujo]

Yes, I heard on TV yesterday. Sad, I grew up seeing her on TV. :(

Omigosh I almost couldn't beleive it when I first saw it :( How old was she? She's been at it for a long time. Sad to see her go :(

[Marxist in Nebraska]

I am sad to hear that she died. I would have to say my favorite song of hers was "Carnival". How about you, comrades? What is your favorite song by Celia?

[Felicia]

I haven't watched TV in days, if not, I would have seen it for sure.

Yes, a sad day that must have been :(

That's like two Cuban musicians in one week :(

I should've guessed, seeing how she lived in New York.......
