The beloved “Queen of Salsa,” Celia Cruz, was one of 14 siblings born in a small village near Havana, Cuba.
In her childhood she sang for tourists, in school and community productions, and for her younger siblings to help them go to sleep. She attended Cuba’s Conservatory of Music and rose in prominence as a vocalist who sang with bigger and bigger Latin bands, especially those who performed salsa. She eventually rose above the bands and became an international superstar of her own. In this video we see Celia Cruz at the top of her game.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
