Celia Cruz (1925–2003) had a successful career in Cuba as a nightclub singer before moving to the United States, where she became known as the “Queen of Salsa Music.” Cruz’s operatic voice moved through high and low pitches with ease, and her style of improvising rhymed lyrics added a distinctive flavor to salsa.
