The highly produced video for \u201cLa Vida Es Un Carnaval\u201d not only made history uniting the Queen of Reggaeton (Ivy Queen) with the Queen of Salsa (Celia) but also became the first and only music video for Celia\u2019s lifetime No. 1 hit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be part of this amazing initiative to support and bring joy to Latino families during this holiday season, while paying tribute to two of the most iconic Hispanic artists of all time,\u201d said Yvette Pe\u00f1a, vice president of multicultural leadership at AARP. \u201cBoth Celia Cruz and Ivy Queen have broken glass ceilings throughout their careers and are an inspiration to people of all ages.

A co-production of the Kiwanis of Little Havana, RetroPop Media, and Atlantino, the music video was produced in association with the Celia Cruz Foundation and features unreleased footage contributed by director Ernesto Fundora, who himself directed Celia Cruz\u2019s other video hit \u201cLa Negra Tiene Tumbao.\u201d All of the footage for \u2018La Vida Es Un Carnaval\u2019 was from a 2002 commercial shoot Fundora shot with Celia in Veracruz, Mexico for Az\u00facar de Veracruz. Ivy Queen\u2019s portion of the duet was shot in Miami and directed by CSP Media Group.<\/span><\/p>\n
