This week marks 100 years since the birth of Celia Cruz - the Queen of Salsa. Her voice carried the sound of Cuba across the globe, even when she herself could not return home. As fans celebrate her centennial with concerts and tributes, her music doesn't get much play on the airwaves in Cuba. The World's Tibisay Zea explores Celia Cruz's enduring legacy - from her dazzling performances to the silent treatment she still gets on the island she loved.
