Celia Cruz "Exitos Eternos" is een van de beste verzamel CD`s met het latere repertoire van salsa koningin Celia Cruz, uit de periode 1994-2002 wat Celia opnam voor het RMM + Sony label. <br>

With her powerful pipes, stunning showmanship, and superhuman sense of timing, Celia Cruz defined her chosen genre like few other performers in the history of popular music. EXITOS ETERNOS is a collection of tracks the "Queen of Salsa" recorded during the last decade of her life that, despite the vocalist`s advanced age, clearly show Cruz`s talents never wavered. Known for her uncompromising attitude and refusal to sing in English, Cruz valued aesthetic purity, but never became a museum piece. A driving pulse and rhythmic toasting that recall dancehall reggae propel her 2001 hit "La Negra Tiene Tumbao," and other tracks feature subtle synthesizer textures. Unlike lesser artists, however, Cruz is able to incorporate these disparate sonic colors seamlessly, making them sound as traditional as a conga drum or guiro. Of course, the unrelenting force behind each recording is Cruz`s astounding voice, the sheer energy of which makes even these later recordings sound both classic and utterly contemporary. <br>"
