Norris celia cruz biography

It happened again.

I became addicted to a series on Netflix.

However, unlike other series, where I feel guilty for having watched them, this one makes me feel wonderful.

The series is Celia, and it is loosely based on the life of famous Cuban singer Celia Cruz who happens to be one of my ultimate favorite singers of all time. Growing up I had posters of Celia and Freddie Mercury side bygd side. inom know, eclectic can&#;t even begin to describe my musical tastes.

Summary:

"Conoce a la Reina de la Salsa, Celia Cruz, antes solo una niña de La Habana, Cuba, que amaba cantar. Su voz conmovedora, su encanto irresistible y su voluntad de hierro le permitieron alcanzar la fama de forma meteórica, abriéndoles así las puertas a artistas latinos en el mundo entero. Su espectacular carrera la llevó de la Sonora Matancera a la Fania All-Stars con la creciente popularidad de la salsa, un género nacido de los estilos musicales afrocubanos. Seis décadas y más de setenta discos después, la influencia de Celia sigue vigente en la música de hoy"-- Provided by publisher.
