Salsa Queen Celia Cruz has been brought back to musical life with a new single “La Bandera Que Canta<\/em>“. The song is part of a project called “Spoken Music”.<\/p>\n

The legacy of Celia is more relevant today than ever before, and her voice continues to be the voice of a country, of her people, of her Cuba, and it will continue to be today, tomorrow, and always.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t

The “Spoken Music” project is presented by Celia Cruz Entertainment<\/a>, a business entity focused on protecting the intellectual property of the Queen of Salsa. In other words, they are the ones that resurrected Celia Cruz for this project.<\/p>\n

The “song” captures words spoken by the musical legend of Cuba mixed with the music of the renowned Cuban singer-songwriter Pavel Urkiza.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, the song is a homage to Celia Cruz<\/a>, who passed in 2003. I find it an interesting way to keep Celia in the memories of people not just with her songs, but also with her musicalized spoken words.<\/p>\n

Below you can enjoy the nice and well-made video of the song.<\/p>\n
