Celia Cruz & The Fania All Stars - Quimbara - Zaire, Africa 1974 | REACTION

[@jackreactsenespanol4761]

This might be my favorite performance I’ve reacted to on the channel so far!!!🔥 Celia is such an incredibly talented artist. Her stage presence is unlike anyone I’ve ever seen!

[@ginapedraza]

Love your reaction to this performance!! Azucar means sugar in spanish btw ☺

[@jazmineloya400]

You HAVE to hear her “La Vida Es Un Carnaval”. There is no official video, there are only audios and live shows. It is not as fast paced as this song, but it can still get you on your feet.

[@josephescobedo5226]

Jack the guy dancing is Johnny Pacheco he did an album with Celia called "Celia y Johnny" in the 70's

[@erikafigueroa5128]

AS some one mentioned Johnny Pacheco another artist of that time who collaborated with so many legends of the 70's. Another song of hers Bemba Colora live at yankee stadium if it's still allowing you to see it in full view.

[@jackreactsenespanol4761]

@GoldenState yes but the percussion is purely african and the slaves that were brought over to Cuba by the Spanish brought that rythm there. AFRO LATINOS PRESENTE

You are undoubtedly an old soul! So awesome that you know and enjoy Celia Cruz (and Hector Lavoe). PLEASE checkout a Venezuelan group called Billos Caracas Boys. More specifically, their song called La Casa De Fernando. This is big band Salsa music. Fell in love with Salsa at the age of 14 when I first heard this song (am a French Canadian).

The queen of salsa takes me back to growing up with my mother side , we listened to Celia my Cuban grandmother had us listening to her . Celia was the Aretha , Patti LaBelle of salsa 💃🏽 . I love it and still play this ❤️❤️❤️. Fact Celia never liked studio computer production, she said she always want live instruments . Celia never lost her African roots which a lot of the music came from .
