Celia Cruz

First, go searching for Cuba on the Internet. (And let's talk about Fidel Castro, since we're learning about Mao.)

Celia Cruz lived in the USA after Castro took power. According to Wiki, she was 'one of the most successful Salsa performers of the 20th century, having earned twenty-three gold albums'.

Listen to a selection of Salsa music: Quimbara, La Vida Es Un Carnaval, Rie Y Llora. What instruments can you detect?

Me, I love her enormous smile. And I bet I could do that bosom waggling thing.
