La revolución cubana (1959) forzó su exilio a los Estados Unidos. En Miami, ella se vinculó a otros artistas latinos e inició otra vez su carrera musical extraordinaria. Ella grabó alrededor de setenta álbumes y ochocientas canciones, cosechó veintitrés discos de oro y recibió cinco premios Grammy. Una de sus grande éxitos fue la canción “La vida es un carnaval”. “La vida es un carnaval y hay que vivir cantando” es la premisa de esta pegajosa e inolvidable canción lanzada por la cantante cubana Celia Cruz en el año 1998 y que aún hoy en día anima las festas latinoamericanas.
