Celina González

González and Domínguez wrote "Yo soy el punto cubano": the recording was a hit in many countries throughout the world.

In 1948 they began working with the famous guitarist and singer Ñico Saquito and gained increasing popularity on radio, film and television.

[citation needed] Initially, her music was mainly that of the European countryside guajiro (peasant), with lyrics based on the poetics of décima.

[2][3] The relationship with Ñico Saquito taught her a great deal about the son and the guaracha, and her later work made frequent use of those forms.

In 1984 she won the award for Best Singer at the 27th International Music Festival in Cali, Colombia, and after a successful tour in Europe in 1988 she recorded a session for the BBC.
