Abarcando desde 1925 hasta 1962, el tiempo que Celia pasó en Cuba, esta es una biografía completa de Celia Cruz, la Reina de la Salsa, como nunca antes se la había visto.
En esta primera entrega de la biografía de Celia Cruz, la autora explora con minucioso detalle sus primeros años como cantante cubana. Desde los modestos comienzos de Celia en la radio cubana, hasta su orgullo por su identidad afrolatina, los afrobeats y las guarachas, Celia en Cuba documenta el ascenso meteórico de una estrella latinoamericana.
 A partir de una extensa evidencia de archivo, Marquetti explora la compleja identidad de un cantante que encontró fama mundial en una exuberante Habana donde los casinos estadounidenses y la próxima Revolución se enfrentarán. Intercalada con imágenes nunca antes vistas de la juventud de la cantante, esta biografía pinta a Celia Cruz bajo una nueva luz que lo abarca todo, destacando la influencia indeleble de la cantante en la música de todos los géneros.
 
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Spanning from 1925 to 1962, the time Celia spent in Cuba, this is a comprehensive biography of Celia Cruz, the Queen of Salsa, as she has never been seen before.
 In this first installment of Celia Cruz's biography, the author explores her first years as a Cuban singer in painstaking detail. From Celia's modest beginning on the Cuban radio, to her pride in her Afro-Latina identity, the afro beats and guarachas, Celia en Cuba documents the meteoric rise of a Latin American star.
Drawing from extensive archival evidence, Marquetti explores the complex identity of a singer who found worldwide fame in an ebullient Havanna where the American Casinos and the upcoming Revolution will clash. Interspersed with never-before-seen images from the singer's youth, this biography paints Celia Cruz in a new, all-encompassing light, highlighting the singer's indelible influence on music of all genres.
