"Ríe y Llora" (English: "Laugh and Cry") is a song performed by Cuban recording artist Celia Cruz.

It was the final song recorded by Cruz, following being sidelined by a brain tumor and before her death on 16 July 2003.

[8] In early 2003,[9] following a partially successful surgery to remove the tumor, Cruz returned to the studio to record Regalo del Alma,[8] weeks after the operation.

"[17] Cuban writer Jose Quiroga claimed the song to be "an appeal to live for the moment, and to understand that forgiveness is not forgetting, but rather the possibility of remembering without pain.

[18] The song is sequel to the songwriter's previous collaboration on Cruz's "La Negra Tiene Tumbao".

[23] At the 2004 Latin Billboard Music Awards, the song received a nomination for "Tropical Airplay Track of the Year by a Female Artist".

[26] According to the Spanish-language newspaper, El Pais, the song helped relieve the "nostalgia" caused by Cruz's death.
