During Hispanic Heritage Month, which is celebrated in the United States from September 15 to October 15, among many tributes, recognition has come to the Greatest Guarachera, Celia Cruz of Cuba and the world.

The Barbie company unveiled a doll created in the likeness of the mythical Cuban singer, honoring "the memory of Celia Cruz with a one-of-a-kind doll."

The image has caused a sensation on social media, where Cubans have felt proud of the recognition of the legacy of one of the greatest artists born in the largest of the Antilles.

"I loved it, the Queen of salsa will live forever in the heart of every Cuban, Sugar just in case!", says a Facebook user, after seeing the photos of the doll.

"My God!!! Where can I get one? Celia Cruz is the best, I want to be reincarnated as Celia in my next life, sugarrrr...", claims someone else.

*Úrsula Hilaria Celia de la Caridad De La Santísima Trinidad Cruz Alfonso, 'Celia de Cuba', although for a long time fans of the regime tried to relegate to the cobwebs of oblivion the most famous guarachera in the world; Celia never stopped putting the name of four letters on high, her nostalgic verses to her land resonated on the most important stages in the world and even, when almost two decades have already passed since her physical departure, because the Almighty wanted to hear her legendary "Sugarrrr" up close, no one can deny her imprint and contributions to the Creole and international music staff.
