100% Azucar!: The Best of Celia Cruz con la Sonora Matancera

Amazon.com
Queen of salsa Celia Cruz was royalty long before the music was even called that. 100% Azucar collects 19 tracks from her '50s and '60s output on the Seeco label. Smoking even at medium tempos, the disc is full of the hot mambo rhythms of the Sonora Matancera band and the full-throttle vocals of "la incomparable Celia." Included are both sides of one of her first singles, "Ritmo, Tambo y Flores"/"Elegua Quiere Tambo," along with other unstoppable body-rockers such as "Oye Mi Rumba" and "Mi Soncito." Informed, fascinating liner notes and reproductions of beautiful vintage album covers complete this prime package. --Rickey Wright

Unforgettable.......2006-02-17

This is one of the CD that really moves people who loved Celia. Her voice is so young and strong, amazing interpretation.

Awsome CD, but..........2005-02-22

... there are a lot of common tracks with the CD Celia Cruz (Cuban Legend). Otherwise, a Must Buy.

Celia Cruz was THE QUEEN.......2004-10-12

In this colection you have the opportunity to hear Celia Cruz as a young vocalist and you will instantly understand why she is considered such a legend. Due to the age of some of the recordings the sound quality is not the best but SHE is so good it doesn't matter.

A bit nostalgia!!!.......2003-08-30

This album is great. It shows Celia's voice young and crisp. I loved her energy and kindness towards others. We will miss Celia.

This album takes you back in time. It shows why Cuban music is so awesome and why it is loved worldwide.

100% AZUCAR . The Best........2003-08-01

Celia Cruz's music does not disappoint. We will dance with you forever, Celia. Thank you for the music.
