International Latino Book Awards 2025 - Mejor biografía. MEDALLA DE BRONCE

«Historia del entretenimiento, una combinación maravillosa para un crítico, un fan y un aficionado a la música.» --Comentario de los jueces del ILBA

DESCUBRE LOS ORÍGENES DE «LA REINA DE LA SALSA»

A casi cien años de su nacimiento, el mito de Celia Cruz no se desvanece. A partir de una exhaustiva investigación, Rosa Marquetti recupera su legado, los inicios y desarrollo de la carrera de la más universal de las cantantes cubanas.

Celia en Cuba (1925-1962) no es una novela, un libro de anécdotas o un ensayo: es todo eso y mucho más. Mediante una apasionante y precisa narración, con testimonios de primera mano, la autora recrea el mundo habanero donde se desarrolló la carrera de Celia Cruz: los clubes, teatros,
programas de televisión y de radio, y las grabaciones discográficas donde brilló desde el inicio. Era el mundo del Tropicana, el Montmartre, el Sans Souci, la cadena de televisión CMQ, Radio Progreso, el Teatro Blanquita y de la llegada de los grandes hoteles gestionados por la mafia de Estados Unidos. La autora sitúa a Celia Cruz en ese convulso panorama, iluminando la compleja relación de la artista cubana con el clima social de esa época y el comienzo de la política imperante en su país a partir de 1959.

«Entertainment history, a marvelous combination for a critic, a fan, and a music aficionado.» --Insight from the ILBA judges

DISCOVER THE ORIGINS OF "THE QUEEN OF SALSA"

Almost a hundred years after her birth, the myth of Celia Cruz does not fade away. From
an exhaustive investigation, Rosa Marquetti recovers the legacy, the beginnings
and development of the career of the most universal of Cuban singers.


Celia in Cuba (1925-1962) is not a novel, a book of anecdotes or an essay: it is all that and
much more. Through an exciting and precise narration, with first-hand
testimonies, the author recreates the Havana world where Celia Cruz's career
developed: the clubs, theaters, television studios and radio booths, and the
recordings where she sparkles from the beginning. It was the world of
the Tropicana, the Montmartre, the Sans Souci, the CMQ television network,
Radio Progreso, the Blanquita Theater
and the arrival of the large
hotels managed by the United States mafia. The author places Celia Cruz in this
convulsive panorama, highlighting the complex relationship of the Cuban artist
with the social climate of that time and the beginning of the prevailing politics
in her country from 1959 onwards.

Meh.
Worked great the first couple of times it was used. But then it stopped cutting into the cans and does not open them. It causes the metal to fray off in small pieces which resulted in getting a piece of metal stuck in my finger for weeks so I don't recommend. It's also very loud.

So simple to use, I'm amazed
Color: Black
Wonderfully helpful. Description is accurate, shipping was quick. I saw a few poor comments, but I have none so far! The can opener has opened cans of several sizes, from tomato paste to large cans of tomatoes; soup cans to strangely shaped. It's opened 30 or so already without loss of power. It's a little noisy, but about equal to that of a stand up opener. It fits in my drawer, which is less deep than most kitchen drawers. Most of all, it's beyond easy to use for arthritic hands. The ONLY CHALLENGE I have is that it sometimes fails to stop when it should. MANUFACTURER: if you read this and have advice, please share. At this point, I'd say this is a great value for the money.

Pleased be careful
Color: Black
Please be very careful when using this. After using it 2 times it opened cans just fine. Then it stop opening cans and will make hair like strains of metals and one would think its hair and pull on it thus Cutting your fingers open. That’s what happened to me. Please be careful.

Quit working after 30 days
Color: Black
This can opener worked fine for the first couple of weeks. It stopped working several days ago and even though I had recharged it, it would not turn on. I thought I would give it another try before I threw it away since I was past the refund period so I could not return it. I made 100% sure that it was plugged in securely and it did charge and worked today. Make sure that it is plugged in securely when charging. Hopefully it will continue to work and if not I will update my review.
