Jamel, Latin culture is different than USA culture dude.... In Spanish, when you hear "Negra" means dark skinned or black woman. Its not a racist word. Blows my mind -_-
Thank you for pointing that out. My family is Puerto Rican and my uncle alway called my mother "mi negra" - that's not racist at all. It was a familial term of endearment, after they are brother and sister and both are "dark" by North American standards.
@@wvanderwahl i'm not saying "negra" is bad--i'll leave that up to afro-latinos who have better context--but i do want to challenge your broader assumption here: that because smthng is a term of endearment or well intentioned, it can't be racist.
i think it's just hard for many ppl to make sense of several competing truths. on one hand, you all have characterized a nickname based on pigmentation as a term of endearment and suggested it cant be fully understood across cultures. that makes immediate sense because other appearance-based nicknames in spanish (i.e., flaco, gordita, etc) don't always translate so kindly in english. on the other hand, there's the ongoing reality of colorism in latin america and the "we're raceless, everybody's mixed" mythology that prevents ppl from confronting this colorism. i def know contexts here and abroad are muy different but i'm struggling to make sense of the "it's all endearment" idea when, for example, growing up i watched a full decade of latin american news and telenovelas to learn spanish, and morenos were few and far btwn on programs and when they did make appearances, they played servants and poor ppl. so i feel like there's possibly a more nuanced conversation available here than what both the clip and some of you're are saying.
Fun fact: The model is Guatemalan, her name is Deborah David and she later ended up landing the role of Celia Cruz in a theatre production in Mexico about Celia's life. 😎
Celia knew she was embracing the beauty of black latinoamericanos, she was victim of racism and discrimination for the color of her skin she sure shut down many with her powerful music and lyrics she was a super strong woman who always told her truth and stayed true to what she believed in I love her wow! thanks for all the likes.
ilcemsilva - Exactly! It wasn’t only that she was black but she was a woman in a time when men dominated the music industry! She was an amazing woman! If you haven’t had a chance, check out “Celia” a Netflix series about her life and rise to stardom. Great way to learn about all the crap she had to endure and her strength and persistence! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
@@starbrightinfinity3329 jajajaja I knew who she was when I was about 4 or 5 my father is Puerto Rican he listen to her for many years so I know very well who she is
Yes but mexico make her famosa comenzó en México después que ella dejo a cuba ella lo dijo que mexico su segundo país la subió mexico la quiere mucho aunque ya no esté viva fue una gran cantante la REYNA y solo ella nadie más
@@edgarmedrano225 Tumbao is an African rooted word so doubt it can be translated on the Spanish translator. He's probably reading a translation of the lyrics from another website
@@trinidad510 Celia nació en Cuba, Tumbao venía de los esclavos traídos de África a América, no solo en Cuba se usa la palabra "tumbao", también se usa en Puerto Rico, colombia, Venezuela e incluso en brasil.
Victor Manuel I think Latin music is a part of every Latino since we are all same. And it’s amazing that other cultures like to hear and know more of our culture
@@flashallen5272 ummmm. No. We are NOT all the same. Our culture is different. Music is different, food is different, styles are way different. Yes we are all Latinos but there is alot of very obvious differences even in the way we speak. As far as race we are different there too, some of us are more indigenous, some more black, some more white and some mixed. Also, Salsa is not traditionally a part of Mexican culture. Like AT ALL! Authentic Mexican music has different style. Nothing wrong with it but again, completely different.
@@moonlightj0y wow. I think they are saying that we listen to each others music. Im Mexican and I listen to music in other a latin countries. Celia Cruz plays in all the parties.
This song makes me want to go clean up the house. For real. Reminds me of Sunday mornings living at my parents house. Starting at 8 am, Celia and Mark Antony would kick up the cleaning crew.
I’m Puerto Rican and my dad always told the story of when he was in the army, at some point he got to go to a Celia Cruz concert. He was one of the few people dancing in the aisles, so she came off stage (or brought him on I forget), maybe due to noticing his uniform, and they danced salsa for a whole song. She was larger than life and it was one of his happiest moments
De la guaracha sera, por eso le dicen la guarachera de cuba, aunque realmente la salsa un su genero de la guaracha, es como decir Juan luis guerra rey la bachata y no es así, hacia esa música pero no era su genero.
celia cruz my queen of salsa, she opens the doors for us woman to be able to sing salsa! if you don't know salsa was considered and is still considered to this day a man's world, so when Celia when solo after leaving her salsa group and became successful she shocked the Latin community especially the salsa world! because back in those days there was this belief that if you were a woman singing salsa then you could only be a backup singer, not the main vocalist! celia broke that tabu when she became the main vocalist for the salsa group Sonora matancera! so everyone expected her to join another salsa group and continue being supported by the men in the salsa group! nobody expected her to go solo and becoming a world sensation! SHE WAS ALSO THE VERY FIRST AFRO LATINA THAT BECAME WORLD FAMOUS NOT ONLY IN LATIN AMERICA BUT ALSO AROUND THE WORLD! TO THIS DAY SHE IS THE ONLY AFROLATINA THAT HAVE MANAGED TO ACHIEVE WORLD STARDOM! I grew up listening to this lady, hell half of the people my generation grew up listening to this lady, our grandmas were her fans so it was obvious that her music would be playing like crazy in every Latin American and Caribbean homes! you are watching one of Latin Americas greatest and most amazing ICONS AND LEGENDS!
sandra sanders Thanks for the comparison BUT Aretha is not even close. I love Aretha but Celia was record breaking in many ways than just musically. She goes far beyond Aretha. Nevertheless their both queens in their own lane.
Celia may have surprised the rest of the world, Cubans knew of her way before she reach the USA. I grew up listening to all her music fron her earluest hits in Cuba to her more modern mysuc...She was my mither's all-time favorite singer & entertainer.
That is exactly what Celia's message was in this song. Self love and confidence! Thanks for reacting to this great song by the legendary Celia. May she rest in peace!
Que lady gaga ni que madonna celia venía haciendo la moda desde los 70s miren esas pelucas y esos trajes en plenos 90 y el bit de reggeton antes de que fuera famoso
rickplay ¿a que viene la comparación? Lady Gaga, Madona y Celia son grandes artistas en sus repsectivo generos, y no recuerdo que ninguna reclamara la moda de las pelucas y ese estilo como suyo, de hecho, no son las unicas artistas que usaron y usaran estilos extravagantes. Lo siento pero no deberiamos comparar de manera inecesaria, eso es muy de "haters".
Do do have to do a reaction when she performed live in Africa. I seen her live when I was younger with my mom. She performed with so much energy, and killed that performance. Celia Cruz is a true legend in Salsa.
FYI, 1.- Celia Cruz is Cuban 2.- She sang in Mexico city's 50's and 60's and even in the 70's cabarets, 3.- She lived her late years in Florida US 4.- The video was filmed in Mexico city Downtown are From China town to el Zocalo 5.- The girl in the video is not "naked" but she is she is using body paint that was "in" when this video was shot in the early 2000's and gives the illusion that she is in fact naked. even thou... Paint on the body cannot be consider wearing clothes xD
I always thought this song was very interesting. There is a deep double meaning to the song, especially eaten with the rest of lyrics. The rest of the song has to do with how one is remembered after passing, and how one should live rightly. The word tumbao superficially means grace or swagger (it musically refers to the drum deep baseline in Afro-Caribbean drumming), but it’s also is a elision of the word “tumbado” which can also mean “fallen” or “entombed”. The words “nunca camina del la(d)o, can mean both “she never walks on the side” or as an imperative can mean “don’t ever walk beside her”...so the words “todo la sigue por su caminao” meaning “everyone follows her as she walks” can wake a more ominous tone, as it can mean ‘sidewalk’ to ‘walkway’ but can also mean “path” as in the general path one takes in life. So the song, especially the chorus, on the surface is a fun song about a woman who walks with swagger and confidence, but when taken with the rest of the lyrics in the song, can be heard as an admonition to do the opposite, and be conscious of how you live your life and not necessarily chasing what looks attractive, but may eventually lead you to a fall.
Nice explanation. I'll add that in quite a few Latin American countries, persons of African descent drop the "d" in words that end in "do" (as "tumbao" in "tumbado"). It adds a certain cadence to the speech.
Celia Cruz was that rarity that was having the hugest hits of her career up until her late 70's and it was pure fire and not some "old people music" but rather something that you'd hear in every young person's club. Imagine if Aretha was scoring #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 at the age of 75 and was still performing up until the end. There has never been anyone quite like her.
All the things she overcame never made her bitter; Celia would start her concerts by screaming "Azucar!", which means sugar in Spanish. One more thing, I grew up hearing my father call my mother negra - it was a term of endearment and I never ever got the vibe it was negative.
LoL 🤣 your reaction was awesome my friend and definitely that black lady from the video, is a beauty! Celia was always making great hits with her powerful voice and amazing spirit 👍
CUBA 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺 This video is everything! My grandparents are from Cuba I love this video with all my heart ! Celia and my grandmother were friends ❤️
Yeahhhh Brother! Grew up listening To the legendary Celia when I used to lived in the west costal area of Ecuador and she definitely exalted our Afro Latin American heritage and art! That’s why as Latinos we’re soo proud of Celias music
Celia was one of the first artist of her generation to do a collaboration with the new music (rappers) of this generation, now everyone is doing it. She will always nube the queen of salsa.
What’s even more impressive to me is that she was in her mid-70s when she recorded that song!!! She’s one of those incredible artists that managed to maintain relevance throughout the generations… Truly impressive! She was a gift 💕
Lmao!!! I was waiting on the part when she got naked!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is why Celia Cruz is so iconic! Avant-garde, ahead of her time. This song could come out today & ppl will still relate. At the time ppl thought Hispanics where only what they depicted of us. Celia taught us we come in all shapes & sizes & to always walk tall.
Heck yeah! Merry Christmas to me!!! This song/vid is the total ish... It remains groundbreaking and avant garde with a hint of transgression (just to mess with the mainstream folk)... It's all that I love from our QUEEN... black is beautiful. *All hail the QUEEN!* PD: Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece
You're my favorite guy (with respect) when you react to different kind of music. Not only you're funny reacting to Celia songs and others, but you say the RIGHT WORDS of what music is. It's an universal language THAT UNITE US ALL. I am from Puerto Rico and we cried so much when Celia passed We should keep talking that language! You're awesome !!
This is the first time I have seen this fab lady sing..she is fantastic..i love this type of music but never seen her before..i shall look for more of her music now and play it VERY loud... fantastic fantastic x
Eyy yo. This song has a really beautifull meaning. Grettings from colombia. "NEGRA" means black woman; but when we call them like that, it is a word of love and brotherhood.
No soy cubana, but you have no idea how proud this makes me when you do these reactions. Celia was and will forever be queen! Mucho orgullo de ser latina/hispanica! Thank you for showing the world the QUEEN OF SALSA
one of the best song from Celia Cruz is "TU VOZ" (your voice) also it has a very beautiful lyrics. it was recorded many years ago but still a powerfull performance from a young Celia Cruz.
You have to listen to Argentinian Singer Mercedes Sosa with the song Soy Pan Soy Paz Soy Más is truly beautiful and heart warming ❤️ I love your reaction and respect for our latin culture
Why the uncensored? The model is Deborah David from my country Guatemala and she did an artistic naked, she’s beautiful lady and the song talks about confidence and women’s empowerment! Celia Cruz is a Queen forever!
Hey there my brother. I'm Afrolatino and I wanted to explain the symbolism about this song. The Cuban lady with gold body paint represents Oshun, Celia Cruz, may she be in God's glory, gave homage to Oshun as represented by the lady in gold paint and the peacock feather that Celia is wearing in one of the scene. She also gave homage to Yemaya and Elegua in the scene where the young lady is wearing the blue dress and the man with the red and black suit is dancing at the intersection, Elegua is the keeper of the crossroads that's why they are dancing at that intersection. So there is a profound traditional African religious representation that is Beautifully and skillfully weaved into this video, specifically of Yoruba origin of Nigeria.
This guy is so pure!! I love him!! That was priceless!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I was expecting his reaction bcuz I knew the part when she came out from the car, just naked, would be shocking and it was!!
LOL, yeah cause Nicki Minaj, lil kim, Foxy Brown, etc. neva came out poppin they ass and tetas out LOL! he's just being scandalous for no reason at all. Dude had one job. ....
Thanks for making this beautiful video. Celia, your people miss you and you will always be remembered. #QueenOfSalsa #R.I.P🌻 #LaNegraTieneTumbaoYNuncaCaminaDeLa'o 🇨🇺🌠🎺🎶💃🔥🕺🎶🎺🌠🇨🇺 #MySkeletonMovesJustListeningToIt. #WalkLikeYouHave3MenWalkingBehindYou.
Hahahaha, when he says, “ what you have me watching..? “ I thought... and there’s more! Hahahaha and then he saw it, when from dancing to open mouth and eyes silent ... my soda came out from my nose( it hurt) hahahaha but it was worth it, this is the best reaction I have ever seen.
¿Pero qué hay de malo en un cuerpo desnudo?. No seamos tan rancios y tan antiguos. El cuerpo humano es algo hermoso y ahí es tratado con salero y con respeto.
Exacto! Todos tenemos un cuerpo y todos sabemos como lucen los cuerpos porque es nuestra anatomía, no entiendo el asombro de la gente como que nunca han visto un cuerpo desnudo. La verdad es que originalmente lo cubrimos del frío y lo protegemos del excesivo calor, pero esencialmente no cubrimos el cuerpo por vergüenza, la vergüenza nos la pasaron generacionalmente la cultura europea, pero los africanos e indígenas no tenían sus cuerpos como tabú. Todo era porque geográficamente usaban mas ropas los que venían de países más fríos, pero el cuerpo es una obra de arte preciosa y maravillosa, nada por lo que avergonzarse

Dancing salsa and merengu cures depression. I do it every morning as my workout. Mostly merengue, and lift my spirit.

Your face was priceless when she came out of the car and throughout the rest of the video. lol
That was the BEST part ever. I am hoping to see his memes coming up soon
Jajajaja
Celia Cruz es la Reina! Azuuucarr
Celia Cruz Was, Is and will always be our Beloved Cuban Queen
Check joe arroyo “no le pegue a la negra”
It's actually called Rebellion, if I'm not mistaken
Omg Yesssss! Joe arroyo was the besttttt, he was an innovator in Salsa music, just a genius 😍
Yes this is a good one to do a reaction video on
"En los años 1600~"
Wow! My favorite sing!
Celia was woke. She represented us afrolatinos so fabulosamente y deliciosamente bien. Ashé!!! glad you found her!
Heck yeah! Merry Christmas to me!!! This song/vid is the total ish... It remains groundbreaking and avant garde with a hint of transgression (just to mess with the mainstream folk)... It's all that I love from our QUEEN... black is beautiful. *All hail the QUEEN!*
PD: Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece
👍🏾
@@jamelakajamal ur reactions are freaking hilarious AY DIOS MIO
Swagger and for Cuban ‘s “Mi Negra ,” mi Negro “ is a term of endearment Sam with mi China etc
Definetely, hispanic people who aren't black even use it as a cute name to call your wife or girlfriend.
You're my favorite guy (with respect) when you react to different kind of music. Not only you're funny reacting to Celia songs and others, but you say the RIGHT WORDS of what music is. It's an universal language THAT UNITE US ALL. I am from Puerto Rico and we cried so much when Celia passed We should keep talking that language! You're awesome !!
This is the first time I have seen this fab lady sing..she is fantastic..i love this type of music but never seen her before..i shall look for more of her music now and play it VERY loud... fantastic fantastic x
No hay ni habra otra mas grande que Celia Latin Queen of salsa ❤👏
Such a great black empowerment song..some of us Latinos love our blk roots . I miss my celia
Rip Celia cruz🙌🏾🙏🏿
Eyy yo. This song has a really beautifull meaning. Grettings from colombia.
"NEGRA" means black woman; but when we call them like that, it is a word of love and brotherhood.
Loved your dance moves and how you were actually singing along.
No soy cubana, but you have no idea how proud this makes me when you do these reactions. Celia was and will forever be queen! Mucho orgullo de ser latina/hispanica! Thank you for showing the world the QUEEN OF SALSA
Now I feel like dancing! Love her music. Thank you Jamal. :)
one of the best song from Celia Cruz is "TU VOZ" (your voice) also it has a very beautiful lyrics. it was recorded many years ago but still a powerfull performance from a young Celia Cruz.
The look on your face when she walked out of the car....🤣🤣😳😄😄
This black latina Queen was a humble beautiful soul. Rip Celia😇
Jamel: "What's she doing?"
Me: Casually getting some new clothes... at the laundromat... like one does. LOL I DIED!!!

Go watch the series called Celia, it gives you a sense of what her life was from childhood till she died. She is one of my favorite singers!!!!
My favorite 😍
That's the best part of salsa music. You can never tell the meaning of the song because the rhythm is usually upbeat.

You have to listen to Argentinian Singer Mercedes Sosa with the song Soy Pan Soy Paz Soy Más is truly beautiful and heart warming ❤️ I love your reaction and respect for our latin culture
Why the uncensored? The model is Deborah David from my country Guatemala and she did an artistic naked, she’s beautiful lady and the song talks about confidence and women’s empowerment! Celia Cruz is a Queen forever!
Hey there my brother. I'm Afrolatino and I wanted to explain the symbolism about this song. The Cuban lady with gold body paint represents Oshun, Celia Cruz, may she be in God's glory, gave homage to Oshun as represented by the lady in gold paint and the peacock feather that Celia is wearing in one of the scene. She also gave homage to Yemaya and Elegua in the scene where the young lady is wearing the blue dress and the man with the red and black suit is dancing at the intersection, Elegua is the keeper of the crossroads that's why they are dancing at that intersection. So there is a profound traditional African religious representation that is Beautifully and skillfully weaved into this video, specifically of Yoruba origin of Nigeria.
That's a great explanation, thank you so much for sharing it. A huge kiss to my beautiful Yemaya
I love walking to the rythm of this song. Tumbao is a rythm in afro Caribbean music. Mil gracias por hacer éstos videos😍
The most amaxing thing is... The song is from the beginning of the 2000's. And Celia has been deceased for about. 15 years now.
This guy is so pure!! I love him!! That was priceless!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I was expecting his reaction bcuz I knew the part when she came out from the car, just naked, would be shocking and it was!!
La Reina de Salsa! RIP Celia Cruz

Hahahaha, when he says, “ what you have me watching..? “ I thought... and there’s more! Hahahaha and then he saw it, when from dancing to open mouth and eyes silent ... my soda came out from my nose( it hurt) hahahaha but it was worth it, this is the best reaction I have ever seen.
¿Pero qué hay de malo en un cuerpo desnudo?.
No seamos tan rancios y tan antiguos.
El cuerpo humano es algo hermoso y ahí es tratado con salero y con respeto.
Sí, pero él lo tapó con el sticker porque sino TH-cam elimina el video.
Exacto! Todos tenemos un cuerpo y todos sabemos como lucen los cuerpos porque es nuestra anatomía, no entiendo el asombro de la gente como que nunca han visto un cuerpo desnudo. La verdad es que originalmente lo cubrimos del frío y lo protegemos del excesivo calor, pero esencialmente no cubrimos el cuerpo por vergüenza, la vergüenza nos la pasaron generacionalmente la cultura europea, pero los africanos e indígenas no tenían sus cuerpos como tabú. Todo era porque geográficamente usaban mas ropas los que venían de países más fríos, pero el cuerpo es una obra de arte preciosa y maravillosa, nada por lo que avergonzarse
La Reina de la Guaracha..👑 Azuuucaaaar❤👌
Lol “what you have me watching!”😂🤣🤣
Celia Cruz, REINA!
Fun fact: that video was recorded in Mexico City 😄
This has been my jam for a looong time, YES!!!!
RIP SISTA CELIA
YALL WATCH THAT MINISERIES ON NETFLIX, TOO!

This is my favorte Celia cruz song.Thanks for posting this. Your reaction was hilarious!
