It’s easy to see why Celia Cruz was dubbed the Queen of Salsa.

The trailblazing Cuban singer would have been 100 on Oct. 21. She’s been dubbed the most popular Latin artist of the 20th century. Cruz’s career spanned half a century, no small feat in the ever-changing music industry. Over her long-spanning career, the “Te Busco” singer sold more than 30 million records, making her one of the bestselling Latin artists. In honor of what would be Cruz’s 100 birthday, Amazon launched a line of exclusive centennial merch.

The line of merch includes unisex apparel, from T-shirts to crewneck sweaters, along with accessories such as totes and baseball caps. There are also a few home accessories including tumblers and even throw pillows, all affixed with a special centennial logo with Cruz at the center. If you or a loved one are a big fan of the Latin artist, this is a must-have collection. Your purchase is a great way to show your respect for the star and her legacy.

Some of our favorite pieces include the exclusive tee for $19.99, a versatile basic that comes in 15 shades. Sizing is available for men, women, youth and girls. There are also sizes for big and tall men and plus-size women. Like a majority of the products featured in this collection, the tee is made of 100% cotton, a breathable finish that is great for layering. The long sleeve is equally versatile, coming in at $24.99. The long sleeve comes in six variations for both men and women, with sizes ranging from small to XXL. The body of the shirt is white with color-blocked sleeves.

The centennial adjustable baseball hat is another staple. The cap retails for $19.99 and is both practical and fashionable, equipped with the 100-year anniversary logo printed on the front. The hat comes in seven different hues.

Cruz was best known for popularizing salsa music globally with help from her distinctive and powerful vocals that were deep and soulful but almost operatic. Before her death in July 2003, Cruz was inducted into the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame in 1994, when she was 71. Even after her passing, Cruz’s impact was tangible. In 2004, the star’s posthumous album Regalo del Alma was awarded at the Premios Lo Nuestro, a Spanish-language award show, for best salsa release of the year.
