Synopsis
This is the story of Celia Cruz, the not so pretty, black, skinny and shy girl, who never stopped singing and carrying an important message of freedom for her people. She never bought into the fame machine, remained always humble and charismatic, and with commitment achieved everything she aimed in life.

Today’s second entry for Black History Month will be all about Afro-Cuban singer ‘La Lupe’ (Lupe Victoria Yoli Raymond) also known as the Queen of Latin Soul. It is important to me to also put out facts of one of salsa’s forgotten voices, while we already know a lot about Celia Cruz, a lot of the newer generation (25 and under like me) don’t know about La Lupe other than the portrayal from the Celia series (she was the inspiration for antagonist role Lola Calvo played by Carolina Gaitan).
