TRANSCRIPT
A collection of images from the National Museum of American History.
From the exhibition that explores the life of legendary Cuban-born singer Celia Cruz (1925–2003) and her impressive career. It opened in Washington, D.C., on May 18, 2005, and was on display for a year with funding from Morgan Stanley as the presenting sponsor of the exhibition and with additional support from the Smithsonian Latino Center. Morgan Stanley was also the national sponsor for the traveling show with an additional contribution from the Smithsonian Latino Center. The collection showcases one of the most famous Latino performers of all time. Over the course of a career that spanned six decades and took her from humble beginnings in Havana, Cuba, to a world renowned artist, Cruz became the undisputed “Queen of Latin Music.” Combining a piercing and powerful voice with a larger than-life personality and stage costumes, she was one of the few women to succeed in the male-dominated world of salsa music. Salsa is music born in New York City of Cuban and other Afro-Caribbean mixed musical genres. In her personification of salsa, Cruz came to represent all Latinos. “¡Azúcar!” highlights important moments in Cruz’s life and career through photographs. 47 works of HD digital archival pigment ink print mounted on particle board and protected with clear acrylic, museum quality, from her childhood to early appearances with the band, La Sonora Matancera, in Cuba. The title, “¡Azúcar!” — meaning sugar — is taken from her famous rallying cry.
