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:"

Quote:
Ay, there's no need to cry, because life is a carnival,
It's more beautiful to live singing.
Oh, Ay, there's no need to cry,
For life is a carnival
And your pains can be alieviated through song.

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...

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.

Unhappy Celia Cruz
The jazz station in L.A., KKJZ, is playing a Celia Cruz song as I type this. RIP Ms. Cruz.
