With already immense popularity in Latin America, he crossed over to mainstream success in the United States, and then around the world, with his cover of The Doors' "Light My Fire" and his rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner" in 1968. Most people will recognize him from the Christmas pop classic "Feliz Navidad," which was first released in the year 1970 and celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2020. Feliciano remains a beloved figure in Puerto Rico and beyond, having received a Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and been inducted to the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1607022944290-FSPNWK1FPTU2E9RQ2Y39/Lucecita_Benitez.jpg Home - Lucecita Benitez When you ask a Boricua, who they think is the best Puerto Rican female singer of all time, probably with no hesitation, they will say, Lucecita Benitez. Before she won the “Festival de la Voz y la Cancion Mundial in Mexico”, which catapulted her to international stardom, she was already known in Puerto Rico as “la reina de la juventud”, the youth’s queen. But it was her rendition of “genesis” at the world musical festival in Acapulco that consecrated her standing as the national voice of Puerto Rico. Usually each country has one singer that embodies and conveys the soul, spirit, feelings and the vital essence of a people, Lucecita is that singer for Puerto Rico. Deeply patriotic and socially conscious, she is the kind of artist that does not bargain with her art and her political views to satisfy the status quo. Considered as sort of a rebel, she embodies what a real Puerto Rican is, the best way to describe her is with the name of her iconic concert “traigo un pueblo en mi voz”, I carry my people in my voice. You think of her and a picture of our flag comes to mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1605892908838-J0LW8W2B8OILQTNROCRR/Copy+of+JPG_Cobblestone_Development_Logo_FINAL.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1605892642362-0S77E1N5FA1B3UI4DVXC/unnamed+%2838%29.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1605892859621-LP4EI9YP0CCY664WPLYZ/The+Miranda+Family+Fund_Raices2020.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1605899546006-LY0O87WMQ1MCIDVYZURB/Screen+Shot+2020-11-20+at+1.09.58+PM.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1605711580806-F9TPPUJXOF9T7RKVOR9V/HI-RES-Hispanic-Federation-Logo_copy.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1606336755163-ZEJRSKLE2MGRWBALN1TM/neiuf+logo.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1606845029467-WL34R6OSUG7P68AI2XO1/CAMP.HRZ.SM.RGB%5B6%5D.PNG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1606336711641-RXK35YT32CI8NVUGY5EO/Maestro+Cares+Foundation+logo.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1605711533819-JJRYPWZRGOWK5GRQS0SI/ComEd_PoweringLogo_NEW.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1605892889597-81FNZKTNVXZW7WQM6BB6/logo-hhdc2.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1606760011326-7EG11PPYYT91QV3Y1W1Q/WGN+Logo.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1605892980065-7BN85KJ7OBFXDVWSH09F/The+Official+PRCC+Logo.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1605892652323-OLP36JTQJKDDSD4ISJ8O/image-asset.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb3f6211b1ffc66cd539292/1605711752264-KFEGZRT9CMI778I3L030/peoples-gas.png Home https://www.raicesgala2020.com/what-we-do daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.raicesgala2020.com/projects daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565292381043-ER9AOU1LISY7FVVCNVEQ/20140302_trade+151_0677.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565292406252-8560GSO2A1FLMFQVTG60/Aro+Ha_0073.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565292525597-WCO0DS8F9PHF2V1U45HY/20140228_Trade+151_0067+%281%29.jpg Projects https://www.raicesgala2020.com/partners daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.raicesgala2020.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.raicesgala2020.com/take-action daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.raicesgala2020.com/read-me daily 0.75 2025-05-09
