A dazzling performer of many genres of Afro-Caribbean music, Celia Cruz had a powerful contralto voice, exuberant stage presence, and a unique style that endeared her to fans from different nationalities and across generations. One of few women to succeed in the male-dominated world of salsa music, the “Queen of Salsa” performed for more than five decades and recorded more than 50 albums. Pair her influential music career with several outstanding performances on screen, and Cruz became the iconic “Latin Triple Threat.”

Let's keep her legacy alive , help sign this petition to get Celia Cruz a wax figure at Madame Tussaud. All hail the Queen Of Salsa . ¡Azucar!
