I used to think Celia Cruz was immortal. Today I learned that she wasn’t. In fact, she died recently after battling against a brain tumor for a long time. She had said she would die singing, thinking she would overcome this disease. I hope she was able to let music be the last sound ever heard from her live body. Celia will always be the Queen of Salsa, and one of the most admirable characters in the history of Latin music. Rest in Peace.
