Yes the Celia Cruz series was incredible

[klipnity]

I gotta say this video was right :) Every little detail was pull out. Nice work Pero Like or Buzzfeed Latino

[austincastillo]

Celia will always be my favorite novela ❤️❤️

[PicassoBabyDC]

There was a movie about Celia Cruz?! I have to see it!

[christinahernandez]

Wow. Did you all really forget Gael García Bernal who's also played Che and Luis Enrique Gnecco Dessy who's played Pablo Neruda????!!!!

[covidsstuff]

Gotta go back and watch all of these movies now!

[Throughrainorshinee]

The woman you showed at 2:25 is Jeimy Osorio, she played the young Celia not the older one

[TheLeoCaleb]

oKAY, NOW I HAVE A LIST OF MOVIES TO WATCH! THANKS PERO LIKE!

[gomez.a]

SEEELLLEEENNNAAAA ROLE MODEL!LOVE YOU SELENA RIP MISS YOU!!

[sekailu]

you should have mention Angélica Celaya who plays Jenni Rivera in Mariposa de Barrio !!

[Acord]

In I like it like that the movie the main characters boyfriend was a Mexican man playing a Puerto Rican man. I think he did a good job and so did jlo as Selena 🇵🇷🇲🇽

[cameronwilliams]

Gloria and Selena are my two favorites on this list.

[j..e..m]

Both Jennifer and Lou performance as Ritchie and Selena, were so spot on and just perfect. They definitely did those icons justice

[jorge]

Who likes mexican movies but they speak english here

[elizabethavila]

I think I have more movies to add on my list! Movie Marathon coming right up!

[monserratlopez]

I’ve always watched Selena in Spanish I don’t know why ever since I was very young my parents introduced it to me in Spanish so I’ve always been comfortable watching it in Spanish

[RoseBlack]

Doesn't really relate to the movies but fun fact that I learned this summer. Cesar Chavez apparently stayed in one of the dorms in my university.

[carlanaperla]

Celia Cruz was played by two actresses, Jeimy Osorio played young Celia and Aymee Nuviola played Celia in her mature years...

[PrometheanFlame]

I think Lou Diamond Phillips is Filipino. He still fits within the diaspora, but he is of Spaniard/Asian descent.

[jaymore]

Edgar ramirez also play roberto duran ( Boxer )
