Celia Cruz is that rare singer, one of those that makes you lose stock of what you think you like. You can't help it. It's just full on 100% joy. Even if you can't understand the lyrics, you'll end up shaking something. The first one below, "La Vida es un Carnaval" ("Life is a Carnival"), can cut through any sourpuss mood you can throw at it. And listen to what she does with the other two songs, the originals of which you may not be entirely nuts about. They get transformed into potable dance floor sweat.
