Celia Cruz - Complete Celia Cruz Masters 1950 - 1962 (2024 Remaster) (2024) [Hi-Res]

Celia Cruz, known as the "Queen of Salsa," was born in Cuba and later emigrated to the United States. She was introduced to Cuban music at a young age and pursued a singing career despite her father's wish for her to become a teacher. She studied at a conservatory, won numerous singing competitions, and gained recognition as the lead singer of La Sonora Matancera, a dominant Afro-Cuban music group. However, due to political repression under the Castro regime, the band went into exile, first in Mexico and later in the U.S.

Cruz eventually left La Sonora Matancera to embark on a solo career, collaborating with Tito Puente and releasing several albums. As Afro-Cuban rhythms declined in popularity, she considered retiring until pianist and arranger Larry Harlow cast her in his musical *Hommy*, reviving her career. She signed with Fania Records, where Johnny Pacheco helped redefine her music. Performing with the Fania All Stars, she helped shape salsa into a genre appealing to younger audiences. In 1977, she released *Only They Could Have Made This Album* with Willie Colón, achieving international fame.

Despite winning a Grammy Award in 1990 and success with *El Son de Celia y Oscar* in 1993, salsa's popularity waned, and some fans criticized her shift towards a more pop-oriented style. Celia Cruz remained a legendary figure in Latin music until her death in 2003, leaving behind an extraordinary but fluctuating career.
