Celia Cruz Tunes That Rock the Dance Floor

There are so many things to say about Celia Cruz: she was the number 1 Latin-Caribbean singer before, during and after the Salsa boom; she was as good a “sonera” as the greatest “soneros” of her time, her stage precedes was second to none. Celia was simply the embodiment of Latino music for more than 50 years and we miss her dearly. Her body of work is just too rich and wide that we could create a whole IG feed for just her tunes, but today we just put 10 tunes that we really love and are great to dance to!
