Celia Cruz should need very little introduction. She had a remarkably long career, beginning with the Sonora Matancera in pre-Castro Cuba, and kept kept performing worldwide (including an appearance on Sesame Street) after moving to the US. In Argentina she's best known for a song that became a hit as a duet with Argentinean national icons Los Fabulosos Cadillacs.
She passed away in 2003, a very sad day in Latin music community.
This is part of a 1974 live concert in Kinshasa, while she was a part of salsa supergroup Las Estrellas del Fania/Fania All-Stars (they were out of New York so I figure both are acceptable).
