Celia Cruz hits 100, Central Park turns up the volume without missing a beat
Celia Cruz's 100th birthday receives a high-decibel nod in Central Park with a lineup that reads like a who’s who of Cuban music, setting the stage for a sonic homage pulsing with Afro-Caribbean flair and legacy-laced cadence.
The celebration lands just as Billboard teases an evolving Latin Music Week 2025, where commercial ambition sidles up against rhetoric of artistic autonomy, fashion theatrics, and curated “unapologetic expression.”
