"She said that if I didn't introduce her as The Queen of Latin Soul, she wouldn't come out."

Last night a documentary maker came to UCLA to show her upcoming PBS documentary LA LUPE: QUEEN OF LATIN SOUL.

I'd criminally never heard of La Lupe before.

Were you there last night? Or has it already been aired?

I am Cuban. I LOVE La Lupe! She was crazy and divine!

What is this documentary you speak of? I MUST MUST MUST see it!!

Ever experienced any Celia Cruz?

It was great.

I have experienced a bit of Celia Cruz--and some more in the documentary. I want to go buy CDs by both of them this weekend. Recommendations?

For La Lupe make sure you get something with "La Tirana".

As far as Celia goes, I'd start with "One Night of Salsa Live"

That documentary aired on PBS a few months ago. Great footage of her on the Dick Cavett show when she's ripping off her shoes and other articles of clothing.
