	APPRECIATION / Celia Cruz had it all: voice, rhythm, heart. Bay Area remembers the queen of salsa
		She earned the nickname "La Guarachera del Mundo" for her drive on the complex guaguanco and guaracha rhythms of hits like "Yerbero Moderno" and "Burundanga." She also had an amazing facility to improvise and a charisma that could spin a dance hall into sweaty mayhem.
		La Sonora, the crown jewel of Cuban music in its day, had been founded in 1924 in Matanzas, Cuba, by Valentin Cane and was rivaled only by Beny More and Perez Prado.
		Around 1960, after the Cuban revolution, she left La Sonora Matancera and headed for New York City, which was reeling with mambo, cha-cha-cha and pachanga scenes at the Palladium Ballroom and other dance halls.

	Guaracha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But it was actually the Sonora Matancera orchestra who put a seal of perfection when Celia Cruz joined it.
		Because she was mainly a Santería (Afro Cuban) singer, she was able to integrate her style to further enrich this mixture of all Cuban rhythms.
		Following the Sonora Matancera, others, like Beny Moré, Roberto Faz, Pío Leyva, Riverside and Rumba Havana expanded it to exhibit it in New York, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and other countries.

	100% Azucar!: The Best of Celia Cruz con la Sonora Matancera - Celia Cruz & la Sonora Matancera - Song Listings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		From the 1950s to the mid-'90s, salsa's most prominent female vocalist has been Celia Cruz, a pearl of a singer rightly exalted as "the Queen of Salsa." This excellent CD focuses largely on the recordings she made with la Sonora Mantancera in her native Havana, Cuba, in the 1950s.
		La Sonora was already one of Cuba's top dance bands when Cruz was hired to replace singer Myrta Silva in 1950, and her passionate performances on such classics as "Ritmo, Tambo y Flores" (1951), "Burundanga" (1953), and "Melao de Cana" (1953) made it clear that she was the right choice.
		With Cuba under communism, Cruz and her husband, Sonora trumpeter Pedro Knight, made a permanent move to the U.S. in 1961.

		Since its inception in 1954, the legendary band Sonora Ponceña, from Puerto Rico, has been one of the most consistent producers of great salsa music.
		Led by Enrique “Quique” Lucca Caraballo, born in Yauco, Puerto Rico, this group has included many of the most talented in the world of salsa, at one time or another.

		Lucho's childhood idol was Richie Ray (for his classical approach to the piano), in addition to the Cuban influences of Lecuona's Cuban Boys, Armando Orefiche, Sonora Matancera, and Pérez Prado (his first interest in the big hand and mambos) and the music from Puerto Rico.
		Feeling it was time for him to put a band together, Lucho was inspired by the sound of Sonora Matancera (which was enormously popular at the time) and formed his own Sonora-style group (Lucho Maceda y su Sonora) on November 2, 1955, whose debut was conducted at Radio La Cronica and immediately won an award.
		It was the right band to back all of the vocalists from Sonora Matancera who traveled to Perú.
