Celia Cruz - An Extraordinary Woman

Rating:
Summary: A wonderful documentary of Celia's career and life
Review: I enjoyed the personal interviews with Pedro Knight, Johnny Pacheco, Omer Padilla, her sister, Gladys. The pre-Castro footage of Cuba was interesting as well. There was good footage of her early days with Sonora Matancera, great clips of performances with Tito Puente, Johnny Pacheco and the Fania Allstars, Ray Baretto etc. Well worth the price. It is in Spanish as is only right as Celia was most comfortable in her native language. It made me happy for the full 145 minutes. I sure do miss, La Reina, tho. Siempre vivire, Celia en su musica.
