i would like to send love to all the freinds and family of Celia cruz. To Tito Puente JR and the long list of names that follow after that.
here in miami this past saturday, we saw something that we had never seen before.We as a community, lost what we never lost before.The queen of the cuban sound. the queen of the latin sound. A sound that developed and flourished over 60 or more years and spread all around the world.A sound that develped and caried a 500 year history. A sound that united many and crossed and infused many genres of music through out the years, including dance music over the past 30 years.
Freestyle amung one of them.
New York. Tuesday is your day to represent and show love.
Understand, that this will never happen agian.
Take it to the streets.Take it to the church.
Although the younger ones might not understand completely, one day they will look back,understand and be like.."wow i was there. 1 mile or 2 feet away. i was a part of history".
for the peeps who dont undertsand...celia cruz is like a Josephine baker, billy Holliday, and so many other icons rolled into one.
She is the last of a world that no longer exist.
Nothing can take her place.
For many cubans and southfloridians, she not only was loved for her music, but also for the history and political figure she had become.
what all rolled into one she represented.
NEW YORK, this is your history. Musicaly......60's and 70's maybe salsa wasnt created but it was definetly born
CUBA Y PUERTO RICO, Juntos.
...mad love to new york.
