Summary

Este libro apasionante, intenso y colorido narra la vida de Celia Cruz con una fidelidad extrema al carácter, el entusiasmo y la desbordante vitalidad de la célebre artista de origen cubano. De igual forma, el diseño contribuye a reforzar esta atmósfera recurriendo a vívidas ilustraciones y un estilo que convierte su lectura en una experiencia muy dinámica y entretenida. Aquí convergen de manera magistral la historia, las costumbres, la moda y las melodías que inmortalizaron a la gran estrella del ritmo caribeño, conocida y reconocida en todo el mundo como la reina de la salsa, convirtiéndola en una auténtica leyenda latina de alcance universal. Esta maravillosa biografía se extiende desde la infancia de Celia en La Habana, su posterior exilio de la isla y sus comienzos en la escena artística, hasta llegar a convertirse en la magnífica estrella mundial, aplaudida hasta en los más lejanos rincones del orbe.
