The title of the article just ruined the whole thing. No one who admires Celia Cruz does so because of the color of her skin. She’s just the greatest female salsa singer of all time, and one of the best salsa singers ever, period.
If the article were titled: “World’s Greatest Salsa Singer Honored with US Coin”, we would be having a different discussion.
“She’s just the greatest female salsa singer of all time, and one of the best salsa singers ever, period.”
Her albums with Tito Puente are very good.
