The Bronx paid tribute to the Queen of Salsa Sunday during a tribute concert at the Woodlawn Cemetery.
Hundreds of residents turned out for the event dedicated to Celia Cruz, who was laid to rest in the cemetery 15 years ago.
She was buried next to her husband, Pedro Knight.
A tribute band, Aurora & Zon Del Barrio, performed some of Cruz's greatest hits alongside one of Cruz's original band members.
Fans were also able to see some of the bright wigs and sequined dresses Cruz was known for wearing leading up to the concert.
Cruz has earned 23 gold records and five Grammy awards.
She died of brain cancer in 2003 at 77 years old.
