"This tribute will blow you away as it was one of Celia's last public appearances before her unfortunate passing. It contains a wealth of Latin music superstars, each passionately singing a special tribute to Celia Cruz as she watches and smiles from the best seat in the house. Every performer sings one of Celia's own songs in spectacular fashion. The tribute also reiterates Celia's historical musical movements and modern contributions to Latin music and its communities. This musically artistic tribute celebrates Celia Cruz's life as brilliantly as her perpetual smile. It's truly amazing and it will have you dancing and singing in your living room. It's a must have!!!"

"I had the greatest pleasure to be a part of this concert. You see, I work for Telemundo(the tv station that put the concert on), and I can tell you that even the rehearsals were amazing. The crowd was on the feet the whole night. This Dvd does a great job of covering that wonderful evening. If you loved her as much as each artist that night did, you should get this Dvd. This was a great event and I can say that I'm very lucky to have been there and had the pleasure to have met her. She is a very beautiful woman and she will be missed."

"It is a very fair tribute to Celia. It's a shame that it was done so late when she wasn't abble to sing as she used to. The singers do well, but it leaves a sad taste to see Celia just sitting and listen to her songs being interpretated by others."
