Celia Cruz: Work<\/em> is an exhibition that honors La Guarachera de Cuba<\/em>. Born in 1925 in Havana, Cuba, Celia Cruz left her birth country in 1960. Already performing and making her name with La Sonora Matancera, Celia Cruz became one of the most highly regarded singers, performing from Caracas to London and beyond. Known for her bold, emotional performances, Cruz embraced her Cuban heritage. She once stated, \u201cIn exile, I have learned to be Cuban in a way that might not have been possible if I had stayed in Cuba. I think being an exile has taught me to love my country even more.\u201d Featuring video footage, posters, wigs and dresses, Celia Cruz: Work <\/em>recognizes Cruz\u2019s labor and her tireless commitment to her audiences who she loved to make \u201cdance until dawn.\u201d In 2025, we honor Cruz as well as the centennial of Hialeah and the Freedom Tower. In doing so, we celebrate our collective history and an extraordinary performer whose music plays a pivotal role in the soundtrack of Miami, the Caribbean, and globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
