Celia Cruz (Ursula Hilaria Celia Caridad Cruz Alfonso) (October 21, 1925 – July 16, 2003) was a Cuban salsa singer who spent most of her career living in New Jersey, and working in the United States and several Latin American countries. Cruz was one of the most successful Cuban performers of the 20th century, with twenty-three gold albums to her name and has earned the moniker of the "Queen of Salsa". Leila Cobo of Billboard Magazine once said "Cruz is indisputably the best-known and most influential female figure in the history of Afro-Cuban music." (1)//Cruz was born in the "Santos Suarez" neighborhood of Havana. Her parents were Catalina Alfonso (Ollita) and Simón Cruz. When she was a child, she earned her first pair of shoes by singing to a couple of tourists.As a teenager, her aunt took her and her cousin to cabarets to sing, but her father encouraged her to keep attending school, in hopes that she would become a Spanish language teacher (her improved diction set her aside from many other singers). But a teacher told her that, as an entertainer, Cruz could make in one day what most teachers make in one year.Cruz began singing in talent contests, often winning cakes and also opportunities to participate in more contests. Her first recordings were made in 1948 in Venezuela with the Turpial label. Curiously, those recordings were not with the famed Cuban band, the Sonora Matancera, but with the Leonard Melody and Alfonso Larrain orchestras. Before that, Celia had recorded for radio stations, but those recordings were not distributed commercially. In 1950, she made her first major breakthrough, after the lead singer of the Sonora, Myrta Silva, left the group and returned to Puerto Rico, Cruz was called to fill in. Hired permanently by the orchestra, she wasn't well accepted by the public at first. However, the orchestra stood by their decision, and soon Cruz became famous throughout Cuba. During the 15 years she was a member, the band travelled all over Latin America, becoming known as Café Con Leche ("coffee with milk"). Cruz became known for her rhythmic shout "¡Azúcar!" ("Sugar!")

Somebody forgot to give singer-songwriter Ram Herrera The Official Tejano Music Handbook. First, he leaves a super-successful group, David Lee Garza y Los Musicales, to go solo. (Big risk.) Second, he strays from the usual Tejano polka and cumbia rhythms. (Did we say usual? We meant tired. ...

PEOPLE WHO DIED
eath took its usual toll this year, and seemingly then some. Genocide, war, terrorist attacks, disease – yikes. But for the purposes of our annual tribute to influential cultural notables whose deaths deserve a little extra note, it was a terrible harvest.
