art exposition, with a series of
free musical acts. Celia Cruz, the
Queen of Latin Music, will per
form onJuly sth, delivering elec
trifying Afro-Cuban rhythms.
Celia carved out her niche in the
’Bos on the strength of many oth
er collaborations, joining forces
with young and old, cutting an
niversary recordings with her
first associates, La Sonora
Mantacera, while appearing in
movies like Salsa, and in 1992 in
the Hollywood feature film di
rected by Arne Glimcher, The
Mambo Kings. In 1994, in the
movie La Familia Perez, filmed
in Miami, she portrays a “mystic
woman.” Her voice can also be
heard on the soundtracks of such
films as Something Wild and
InVasion U.S.A. Celia Cruz made
her debut on television in 1994
with Televisa (Mexico), sharing
the spotlight with Veronica
Castro and Juan Ferrara in the
soap opera Valentina. It was
filmed in Cancun and exhibited
in all the USA/Univision Argen
tina markets. Notwithstanding
her music’s 20-year on-and-off
romance with the American pub
lic, Celia Cruz has survived the
music droughts, and has man
aged to capture the attention of
the American press, who insist
on equating the inimitable Celia
Cruz to jazz greats like Sara
Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald.
Celia’s style is an incompara
bleblend of rhythmed, rapid-fire
staccatobits of witty wisdom, so
cial commentary and general
observations moving from tune
totune. She will collaborate with
Jose Alberto “El Canario” and
Orchestra. Jose’s excellent in
terpretive quality, his mastery
of the “clave,” the great talent he
possessesin the art ofimprovisa
tion places him as one of the most
spontaneous Latino showmenin
America. An artist with proven
international popularity, he
formed hisown orchestrain 1983.
He was the first recording artist
to be signed by international la
bel RMM. In 1989, he launched
his album Suerio Contigo, which
became his passport to audienc
esthroughout Latin America, Eu
rope, Asia and the United States.
Jose Alberto has been credited
with five gold records, three
ACES awards and an award giv
en by the Madison Square Gar
den as Showman of the New York
Salsa Festival among others, all
granted for excellent record sales.
He has recorded 15 albums.
Among the hit songs that identi
fy “El Canario” are “Canta
Canario,” “Valiente Cornel,” “Mis
Amores,” “Llego la Hora,” and
“Baila Que Baila.” In 1995 Jose
Alberto delivers his new album
On Time, which includes the hit
song “Fotos y Recuerdos” in trib
ute to the deceased “Queen of
Tex-Mex Music.”
The National Black Arts Festi
valis a culturally enriching artis
tic extravaganza that will leave a
universal touch in 1996, accord
ing to Managing Director Deborah
Richardson Heard. “For morein
