¡Salsa!

The Princess of Salsa.

After all that salsa one can only indulge in more...

Our 4/4 salsa--4 types of tomatoes and 4 types of peppers--was definitely fiery hot. 

The Queen of Salsa.

Celia Cruz (1925-2003) is still the undisputed Queen of Salsa. I grew up knowing only the older more eccentric Celia, the Celia of the multi-colored wigs and Cuban rumba dresses. It was rather a shock to find the first video clip of a very young Celia, still in Cuba, singing with La Sonora Matancera.

Caliente! CC is definitely the queen. I have an older recording of hers, I play it all the time (especially when the gray skies are here in Seattle, you know what I'm talking about - October through mid-July!). 4/4 salsa looks amazing, I'm assuming it tasted pretty awesome too.

We use that song at work all the time but I've never seen the video. She is the queen but definitely a little over the top... then again... that's what we all loved about her!
