Overview
A casi cien años de su nacimiento, el mito de Celia Cruz no se desvanece. A partir de una exhaustiva investigación, Rosa Marquetti recupera su legado, los inicios y desarrollo de la carrera de la más universal de las cantantes cubanas.
Celia en Cuba (1925-1962) no es una novela, un libro de anécdotas o un ensayo: es todo eso y mucho más. Mediante una apasionante y precisa narración, con testimonios de primera mano, la autora recrea el mundo habanero donde se desarrolló la carrera de Celia Cruz: los clubes, teatros, programas de televisión y de radio, y las grabaciones discográficas donde brilló desde el inicio. Era el mundo del Tropicana, el Montmartre, el Sans Souci, la cadena de televisión CMQ, Radio Progreso, el Teatro Blanquita y de la llegada de los grandes hoteles gestionados por la mafia de Estados Unidos. La autora sitúa a Celia Cruz en ese convulso panorama, iluminando la compleja relación de la artista cubana con el clima social de esa época y el comienzo de la política imperante en su país a partir de 1959.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION DISCOVER THE ORIGINS OF "THE QUEEN OF SALSA"Almost a hundred years after her birth, the myth of Celia Cruz does not fade. From an exhaustive investigation, Rosa Marquetti recovers her legacy, the beginnings and development of the career of the most universal of Cuban singers.
Celia in Cuba (1925-1962) is not a novel, a book of anecdotes or an essay: it is all that and much more. Through an exciting and precise narration, with first-hand testimonies, the author recreates the Havana world where Celia Cruz's career developed: the clubs, theaters, television and radio programs, and the recordings where he shone from the beginning. It was the world of the Tropicana, the Montmartre, the Sans Souci, the CMQ television network, Radio Progreso, the Blanquita Theater and the arrival of the large hotels managed by the United States mafia. The author places Celia Cruz in this convulsive panorama, illuminating the complex relationship of the Cuban artist with the social climate of that time and the beginning of the prevailing politics in her country from 1959 onwards.
