Description

Celia Cruz, dubbed the "Queen of Salsa" is one the the biggest Latin music stars of all time.

Fran and Conscious explore her journey, the racial barriers she broke, and the vibrant spirit she left behind. We’ll also dig into her strong stance against Fidel Castro, why she never returned to Cuba, and how that shaped her life and songs. ¡Azúcar!
