Celia Cruz
 

Not sure how many of you follow salsa music...
but Celia Cruz has passed away, she was awesome!!

her music was great and its just a big thing in miami all the people are talking about it.
they might have a public viewing...

so sad :(

OMG that's just too sad. I didn't know who she was until last summer when my office gave out tickets to her concert here at the Sheraton.

I'm glad I got to see her perform live before she passed away.

What?!?! OMG that's such devastating news!! Unfortunately I was never able to see her in concert and never will. She was an awesome woman who was awesome at what she did. A translation of probably her biggest hit "La Vida Es Un Carnaval:"

I love her music...

its something i have grown up with....being from a hispanic family salsa is an intergral part of any family party...

she will be missed for sure...but i can tell you this for sure...her music will live on.. salsa music doesnt just die out..

its made a huge impact on the hispanic community in miami... its amazing to see how people are reacting to this...

Que en paz descanse. (Rest in peace.)

The world will miss here signature tag line:

A-zucar! :(

I wouldn't doubt it. Celia is a HUGE star. She will be deeply and greatly missed.

I got to see her and Tito Puente at the House of Blues during the 1996 Olympics. That was one of the highlights of the games for me.

Thats awful to hear, she will be deeply missed...

I have loved her songs since childhood when she made guest spots on Sesame Street.

She will be greatly misssed! I am still in shock. She was one of those people that I figured as near immortal as she has been around forever!

Azucar!!!
