Adios, AzúcarSay farewell to Celia with a spicy screeningBy Patrice Elizabeth Grell YursikPublished on August 16, 2007 at 3:00amThe story of Celia Cruz is the story of salsa music itself. From her earliest forays into Cuban nightlife with La Sonora Matancera, to her international acclaim (complete with Grammys and the National Medal of Arts), Cruz took salsa around the world and gave the power of azúcar to the masses. It is only fitting that the very popular Celia Cruz Smithsonian exhibit would close with a screening of Salsa: Latin Pop Music in the Cities, a documentary that illustrates those infectious Latin rhythms.
