LA VIDA ES UN CARNAVAL CELIA CRUZ 1/2 VAYALO

“¡Azúcar! No hay que llorar, que la vida es un carnaval.”

Celebrate the eternal optimism and regal presence of the “Queen of Salsa,” Celia Cruz. This vibrant poster is a tribute to her most iconic anthem, “La Vida es un Carnaval,” a song that reminds us to find joy even in the face of adversity. This piece captures the flamboyant energy, the unmistakable voice, and the soul-stirring charisma of a woman who conquered the world one “¡Azúcar!” at a time.

Originally designed for the Váyalo 2023 collection by guest artists, this poster is a visual explosion of rhythm and color. It honors Celia not just as a singer, but as a global symbol of Latin resilience and Afro-Caribbean pride.

This poster is printed on 150g Earth Pact paper, an eco-friendly stock made from 100% sugar cane fiber. The artwork was meticulously hand-carved into linoleum by the Maestros of La Linterna, translating the textures and “swing” of the Queen into a bold, tactile visual. Each piece is individually struck on our historic typographic presses dating back to the 1870s and 1890s, ensuring that the physical weight of history and the joy of the carnival are felt in every print.
