"Meet the Queen of Salsa, Celia Cruz--once just a girl from Havana, Cuba, who loved to sing. Her soulful voice, compelling charm, and unstoppable determination led to her meteoric rise to fame, opening the door for Latinx performers everywhere. Celia was influential in popularizing salsa, a musical genre born of Afro-Cuban stylings, and her booming career took her from the Sonora Matancera orchestra to the Fania All-Stars. Six decades and more than seventy albums later, Celia's influence still has a hold on today's music."--Dust jacket flap.
