Crammed full of classic Celia Cruz … the ‘First Lady’ for Latin-music lovers all over the world.

Peppered throughout this anthology are the original Seeco versions of classics Celia later rerecorded in a modernised and rearranged form with giants of the New York Latin and salsa scene. For instance, she remade "Bonco" (Disc 1, track 7), "Tatalibaba" (Disc 2, track 5), "A Todos Mis Amigos" (Disc 2, track 17) and "Cao Cao Maní Picao" with Tito Puente for the album Algo Especial Para Recordar / Something Special To Remember (1972 on Tico Records). With Johnny Pacheco she recorded new versions of "Ritmo, Tambo Y Flores" (Disc 1, track 6), "Reina Rumba" (Disc 1, track 15), "Yerbero Moderno" (Disc 2, track 10), and "Vamos A Guarachar" (Disc 1, track 5) for Recordando El Ayer (1976 on Vaya Records; also featuring Justo Betancourt and Papo Lucca); "La Danza Del Cocoye" (Disc 1, track 9) and "Yembe Laroco" (Disc 2, track 20) for the Grammy nominated Eternos (1978 on Vaya Records); and "Madre Rumba" (Disc 2, track 14) for Celia, Johnny and Pete (1980 on Vaya Records; also featuring Pete "El Conde" Rodríguez). She revisited "Rinkinkalla" and "Burundanga" with Willie Colón for Only They Could Have Made This Album (1977 on Vaya Records).

All the music contained on these two CDs is incomparable, timeless…. essential Celia Cruz.
