Cuban duo Gente de Zona paid an emotional tribute to the late Celia Cruz during the Premio Lo Nuestro awards on Univision. The group premiered a dream collaboration with the legendary singer, with member Alexander Delgado stating, “You see Celia today, Celia 2024.” The appearance of Celia Cruz in the middle of the 2024 show left fans in awe as they witnessed her virtual presence on stage.
The tribute took on a deeper meaning after Alexander Delgado suffered a fall during the presentation. However, he reacted with resilience, stating, “It’s not the fall, but how I got up.” The emotional and unforgettable evening served as a powerful reminder of Celia Cruz’s enduring legacy and the impact of Gente de Zona’s music.
