La Lupe Starring Lauren Velez

[@tainok]

It is a shame to see that the latin music industry has forgotten her and have not praised her work like it deserves to be praised few artist like La India have done tributes to her in her albums. Anyone that knows music knows La Lupe and her legendary status in music because she was unique in her style of singing and stage presence that cant never be forgotten.Long Live La Queen of Latin Music Soul!!!

[@dmarcalle]

I am disappointed that the Movie was never completed it seems. I loved listening to her as young Girl in my Mother's home. Her voice and music were so hypnotic. Lauren did a phenomenal job, portraying her from what I've seen in this clip.

[@fasteddie9055]

I remember La Lupe walking into the Cuban sandwich shop on 137th & Bway. It was 3 AM & she had just finished her set at the Habana - San Juan Nightclub across the street. She quietly ordered her food & ordered sandwiches & coffee for all the customers present. No fanfare & no loud entrances , she was a kind and humble soul . I know that she is in heaven.

[@jessykuhjames5679]

Ramfis Trujillo love your story...she seems not be crazy all the time lol

[@fasteddie9055]

She always appeared at NYC s Corso on Sun. nights. She would openly mingle at the bar with the patrons . La Lupe didn t suffer from the superiority complex like many so called stars do. She dressed elegantly, but conservatively. circa late 70s. RIP Yoli.

[@jessykuhjames5679]

Yes but the Santeria and drugs were true also

[@fasteddie9055]

I never speak negatively of the deceased. If I don t have anything good to say, then I remain silent. Yoli s alleged personal problems now belong to the ages. God Bless her soul. TY 4 your comments.

[@Angeles435]

Ramfis Trujillo Thank you for sharing this story! So nice to read someone who actually saw her!

[@milagrosrivera5748]

Lauren Velez nailed it... this is her best role ever. Love your talent Lauren...I also like you in " I like it like that"

[@TTSantiago821]

Hermosa.....love her forever from I like it like that! She nailed this!

[@marizcona]

OMG! release this movie already please!

[@fasteddie9055]

Probably having funding problems.

[@mazevedu4938]

She is perfect playing La Lupe. This documentary should be finished. Hey someone tell Netflix they should honour this Cuban artist.

[@adriancolon8435]

This so needs to come out. La Lupe's story and music is just extraordinary. I actually took flowers to her grave in the Bronx on her 20 year anniversary. It's crazy to me because La India never mentions her and has redone so many of her songs. That's how I actually found out about La Lupe. I looked up "Que Te Pedi" because La India made it over and La Lupe came up. Now I am a die hard fan.

[@rafaelgarcia3798]

Adriayn Colon

[@thesamuelrios2181]

Yeah for real. Me too

[@jepcorp]

La India can’t even be mentioned in the same sentence as La Lupe or Celia Cruz. With such a title you’d think she’d promote salsa...but no. A mediocre artist like her hasn’t put out an original album in years and has been mute on the subject. La Lupe and Celia, true royalty of salsa, Queens in their own right.

[@AllthingsBaaba]

Adrian Colon your tight

[@deucdejm]

💯

[@wamiller396]

This needs to on NETFLIX and cable TV for everybody to see this > Lauren does a phenomenal job in her performance . I saw La Lupe the for the first time on an american talk show . "The QUEEN OF LATIN SOUL " !

[@richardsanchez5089]

Why was this film never completed? i grow up listening to La Lupe and actually got a chance to see her in her prime preform. loved loved La Lupe

[@yvettebermudez4313]

This movie needs to be on Netflix.....

[@mitchellcohn8482]

i love all of laurens work from ny undercover to oz---a vibrant and excellent actress whos perfect as the great la lupe whose " Oriente" IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES

[@cmarqz1]

La Lupe was unequivocally unique, a gem. She was able to fill space time with her energy embedded in her voice, that voice full of tears, full of brief joy -that metallic resonance of her bare soul..Long Live La Lupe! all else is "Teatro"

[@rosacortes5074]

That's what I'm talking about!!! She was pure energy!!!!

[@francescagig]

impresionante!! me quedé sin palabras, parece realmente de ver la lupe revivir otra vez

[@zamyraabdelhady5647]

What an amazing portrayal of a remarkable woman ahead of her time!!! La Lupe was raw and daring! Can't wait for the MOVIE!

[@jaysanchez5350]

Wowwww ,,, THIS ACTRESS IS LA LUPE !!!!!!!

[@tainok]

There should have been no competition btw them because they botha re talented but La Lupe had soul in her music and everything she sang my goodnesss just gave me goosebumps.I am so happy that a movie is being made about her life and that the world will get to know more abt this legendary musician and vocalist. She elft behind a great legacy of music for new generations to come.Who better than Velez to play her!!Great job...I will be out to support this project whenever it comes out.

[@crafty4u]

Wow!!! Watching this clip gave me chills! It was like watching the real video in which La Lupe sang en "El Show de Mirta Silva" Even the wardrobe looks authentic. Awesome work!!! Lauren is the best!!!

[@milainelopez9897]

[@richierichnumber1]

I am one of her biggest fans...Bravo La Lupe.

[@aidadelvillar2853]

Ms. Velez you did a wonderful job ever thought of doing a movie about this legend her life story. You might even get an award. Excelente

[@edgardoconcepcion2720]

The songs remind me of my youth when I really didn't appreciate this music now that I'm older a father and a grandfather I'm constantly looking for music like this how beautiful is our Latin culture they will never be music like this ever again I'm just glad that I was brought up listening to it

[@YoungXicano007]

Now this is cool. La Lupe's story is tragic and needs to be told. I'm a big fan of Fania and what happened to the musicians that totally revamped Salsa to new heights is a shame. I hope this story does for her what El Cantante did for Hector Lavoe.

[@marissasuchini6823]

Lauren Velez killed it :) Love her and love la lupe

[@ThisIsJ.Nicole]

Oh. My. Gosh! You could tell she studied La Lupe intensely. I need this story to be told

[@coltanddj]

I hope there is a chance for this to come out. She was a great force and it's a great story to be told.

[@Latinsoul65]

There actually was a documentary made about La Lupe by filmaker Ela Troyano which is titled "La Lupe Queen of Latin Soul". The Documentary was shown on PBS more than several years ago.

[@callgirl91]

Damn she has La Lupe down to a tee!!

[@nonya340]

Right! I just watched that scene..she naied it completely! Kudos

[@soniavalero5879]

¡Wow!, que magistral interpretación de Lauren, espero poder ver la película.

[@augiereyfernandez6934]

I can't wait to see this movie. I hope is becomes available on DVD also. I was born in New York and moved to LA in 1958, I saw La Lupe with Tito Puente in person and was blown away. Please do this soon. Aloha,

[@lahopkins9746]

Wonderful job! Lauren has La Lupe's mannerisms down pat.

[@jasminacortezonline]

This movie needs to be out!!!

[@LaFlacaJenn40]

Me encanta la lupe creci con su musica

[@cilanguagelab-k.lamastra1667]

Great video! I keep coming back to KZbin hoping that a full length movie was made. Please do it. Crowd fund it, many people will want to help

[@dmtrchr]

i consider her a SUPREEEEME singer, with a tremendous contribution to the latin music and one of the huge artists throughout arts, not only music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kingngueen2]

LAUREN VELEZ TELEMUNDO/WRITERS SHOULD HAVE CAST YOU FOR LOLA'S ROLE IN LA SERIES "CELIA" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Tusc9969]

That was the smartest thing I read today.

[@TheCapeverdean]

I agree.

[@pfunktaylor9986]

agreed. it was a shame what they did to the story. la lupe and celia weren't rivals at all. two different sounds, two different careers. both queens, in my opinion.

[@kingngueen2]

I Totally agree with you !!

[@1956jrod]

kingngueen2 I totally agree with you. This woman is the splitting image of La Lupe! In every way. Looks mannerisms everythin!

[@KriseletteChopin]

I Love Lauren Velez & Her Movies

[@dominicanamariposa21]

this movie should have been released in the theaters years ago and on cable right now!!!!!

[@MayweatherjrWONandsoTrump]

La Yiyi (Lupe) used to rehearse behind my house with Lalo Rodriguez in Carolina Puerto RIco. This actress just made me remember all that. It is not about being or looking identical while in character but, it is more important to pull the audience into the story and Mrs. Lauren Velez did a great job.

[@FridaM100]

Genial! Gracias Lauren Velez y su equipo.

[@stseinyt]

I hope they get this movie done, I would love to watch it.

[@tainok]

Wow I have to say that I was not around for the time that La Lupe was at the height of her career or even after but I always heard her music growing up in my house. She was very well loved by the PR.I always read things abt her and Celai being rival and of course she might have not been the Queen of Salsa but she was known as the Queen of Latin Music.

[@rafaelponce7949]

BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE!

[@redeye101]

Nice. Should do a full length or documentary! Love La Lupe.

[@LetsTalkwithLaPrecious]

There is a La Lupe documentary that was done on PBS. You can find here on KZbin.

[@jrafael68]

la mejor interpretación de La Lupe...la mas grande y única en el mundo..mis repestos y admiración a Lauren Velez... Mi Lupe, mi idolo..GRACIAS!!!

[@lalano1116]

Wow thats who exactly i thought should of played la lupe such a beautiful actress been loved her since like it like that

[@flowerofscotland8839]

Lauren was La Lupe. The film company must have thought it would flop. I believe it would have been a success.

[@ErikaGarcia-qu2wr]

Creó que Lauren hace un dignísimo trabajo interpretando a La Lupe.., mujer de gran fuerza!!! Y la cancion es fabulosa

[@hectorlatorre2367]

Wow La Lupe went through it with Celia Cruz, Tito Puente. I guess she felt she needed to be up there with them. WHY NOT, BACK THEN US LATINOS SHOULD HAVE HELPED EACH ONE. THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR EVERYONE. I AM GLAD SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO THE LORD. LA GIGI IS ABSOLUTELY AN ICONICA LEGENDARIA.

[@FranxiscoSanchez]

Poco será lo bueno que de ella se diga , lo fue así como su vidauy humilde llena de inteligencia y cultura , alida gran cantante de su gran pueblo Latino , no permitan de la desdibujen más por intereses mezquinos y mediocres , a la altura de las más grandes en todos los escenarios siempre estará nuestra inconmensurable LUPE Y SU EXITO Y APORTES AL GREMIO MUSICAL LATINO AL SITUARLO EN EL INMENSO ESTELAR ESPACIO DE LOS INMENSOS VANGUARDIAS DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS ENTRE LAS MUY SUPER ESTRELLAS Grs. 😊❤🎉😊❤🎉😊❤🎉😊❤🎉😊❤🎉😊❤🎉

[@fasteddie9055]

Hola Lauren, it s Felix from the studio at Professional Photo on West 20th St. Those were the days. You look fantastic. Last time that I saw you we discussed the setting for I LIKE IT LIKE THAT.

[@loveinspired7]

I am soooooo PISSED that they scrapped this movie!

[@josephperez3435]

On Celia the series, many of the things that Lola did were based on the stories and rumors of what La Lupe did such as her drug addiction, which is nonsense, also in the series Lola was sexually abused by her stepfather, La Lupe was never abused nor did she have a stepfather, Lola committed suicide, La Lupe did not, she died in her sleep of a heart attack.

[@MsKG-nl5ot]

I’m still waiting. 6 years later

[@eriklaguiraoficial]

It’s never coming out they scrapped it

[@BarbieGirl1630]

[@Tito74]

Great job by velez

[@inescintron1445]

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE

[@JulenamonroeDiva]

Greattttt job

[@Golden2Golden]

She Wonderful as LaLupe!!! Love it

[@jessykuhjames5679]

i might have heard songs from her before.but i never knew about La Lupe umtil i seen the Celia show..even though is not her true story of la lupe..because of the show, i started researching her

[@easyflipping]

she was one of the best latin music

[@Shescorpio1]

I learned from another video posted on KZbin that La Lupe was practically pushed aside when Fania choose Celia Cruz instead of La Lupe for their female star.. It bothered me to learn that because I always loved La Lupe & I grew up in Puerto Rico listening to Fania All Star. I was unaware all those years that had they chosen differently and perhaps signed them both La Lupe's career would have taken a whole different direction. Don't get me wrong, I also love Celia, she was also great R.I.P.

[@PamelaTaylor]

SHE SANG THAT DANG SONG PURO SOUL

[@PamelaTaylor]

lauren velez she doing the dang thing GO MOMMMMMMMMY

[@charliemojica6662]

I agree it’s a shame and this a perfect artist too love it

[@luisferreiro]

There was a video with Lauren performing "Se Acabo" , It was structured more like a trailer and teaser for the film, and it was incredible! I can't find it anymore, has it been taken down? If anyone can find the link, I'd love it if you could post it, thanks!

[@ItzErickOfficial]
