Hits Mix is the first remix album by Cuban recording artist Celia Cruz.

According to George, he played a demo version of "La Negra Tiene Tumbao" for Cruz, "not knowing how she would respond, and that was the song that she most reacted to".

[5] Cruz originally covered the song in Spanish on her 2000 album, Siempre Vivire (I Will Always Live).

The reviewer claimed that Cruz alternates from "swooping, but not showy, melodic moves to rhythmic rapid-fire pronouncements" on the release.

[9] In the same category, Cruz was also nominated with Exitos Eternos and Hits Mix, also becoming the Top Latin Albums Artist of the Year.
