Product Description
Celia de la Caridad Cruz Alfonso lived a life larger than most. In a career that spanned fifty years and produced more than 70 albums—including a bounty of gold and platinum records—five Grammys, two Latin Grammys, and countless hit songs, she joyfully introduced her tropical beats and the soulful sounds of Latin music to audiences around the world.

Presenting Celia Cruz celebrates the woman, the artist, the diva, the friend, the mentor—the many facets of Celia’s extraordinary life—through the lens of accomplished photographer Alexis Rodriguez-Duarte, her longtime friend. Rodriguez-Duarte shares many never before published images and recounts the intimate stories of their unique fifteen-year collaboration and friendship, from quiet backstage moments to explosive live performances. Remembrances from fellow artists, including David Byrne, Cristina Saralegui, Annie Lennox, and Jennifer Lopez, along with specially commissioned essays by Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Lydia Martin, and Liz Balmaseda, round out this remarkable contemporary portrait of La Reina de la Salsa.

As vibrant and surprising as Celia herself, Presenting Celia Cruz is a poignant and glorious tribute to a brilliant life and a legendary performer.

Celia de la Caridad Cruz Alfonso vivió una vida mucho más llena que la mayoría. En una carrera que cubrió cincuenta años y produjo más de setenta discos, incluyendo muchos discos de oro y de platino, cinco Grammys, dos Grammys Latinos, e incontables éxitos, Celia llevó con placer los ritmos tropicales y la voz conmovedora de la música latina a todos los públicos alrededor del mundo.

Presenting Celia Cruz celebra la mujer, la artista, la diva, la amiga, la consejera—las muchas facetas de la extraordinaria vida de Celia—a través del lente del fotógrafo de talento Alexis Rodríguez-Duarte, su amigo de muchos años. Rodríguez-Duarte comparte con los admiradores de Celia muchas imágenes inéditas hasta ahora y cuenta anécdotas íntimas de la singular colaboración y amistad de ambos durante quince años, desde momentos de quietud entre bastidores, hasta explosivas actuaciones en la escena; recuerdos de otros artistas, como David Byrne, Cristina Saralegui, Annie Lennox, y Jennifer Lopez; junto con ensayos, especialmente comisionados para este libro, de Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Lydia Martin, y Liz Balmaseda, que redondean este notable retrato contemporáneo de la Reina de la Salsa.

Vibrante y sorprendente como la misma Celia, Presenting Celia Cruz es un tributo esplédido y conmovedor de una vida brillante y una artista legendaria.

From the author: The Plain Pigeon (Columba inornata) was listed as endangered in Puerto Rico in 1970. During 1986-1992 and 1997-2001, we collected point transect survey data to estimate density, population size, and rate of change. Density and population size estimates increased between 1986-1992 and 1997 2001. With a mean density of 0.25 [+ or -] 0.06 SE individuals/ha and a mean population size in the area of the surveys of 3,746 [+ or -] 892 SE individuals during 1997-2001, we believe that the status of the Plain Pigeon is not as precarious as it was during 1986-1992, when mean density was 0.02 [+ or -] 0.003 SE individuals/ha and mean population size in the area of the surveys was 218 [+ or -] 42 SE individuals. However. Plain Pigeons are not widely distributed and the loss and fragmentation of second growth forests combined with the effects of hurricanes and other factors may cause their extinction. Because Plain Pigeons have a spatially clumped distribution, we recommend sampling at least 1,195 points during peak nesting activity (March through June) throughout the island, with at least 526 points covering areas of abundance in eastcentral Puerto Rico, to monitor population changes and evaluate the effectiveness of management actions.
