A little Celia Cruz for a Tuesday morning

This woman was a force of nature. I was lucky to have seen her live several times.

No one I know likes this kind of music - what I love is how the different rhythms seem to fall forward over each other providing a bouncy propulsion that the vocal line skips over and down into and then back again.

And then there's that voice.

There's even the odd ode to the dancing skills of Isadora Duncan, an unexpected choice of subject matter that turned into a favorite of hers.
