Imi place Gloria Estefan, atat ca muzician, cat si ca om. E o persoana deosebita si a trecut prin multe greutati in viata, in paralel cu o exceptionala cariera muzicala. Acum cativa ani am reusit sa strang toate albumele, inclusiv primele albume cu Miami Sound Machine. Desi stiam foarte multe piese ale artistei, nu am avut dorinta de a parcurge discografia ei pana la aparitia piesei "Miss Little Havana" in 2011. Dupa saptamani de ascultat piesa pe repeat, mi-am dat seama ca am nevoie s-o mai schimb cu altceva: "Dr. Beat", "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You", "Conga", "Everlasting Love", "Hoy"...
"I've actually been working on this album for such a long time. When I lost my mom almost three years ago, I was intending to get into the studio to record it, my part of it. And I couldn't, I couldn't sing. So I postponed it. We recorded it. We've been waiting for the right moment. And I really think it's not a better moment right now, then when the world needs some music, some fun music to kind of get them out of the doldrums of being locked away. [...] Now I'm revisiting the music of Brazil. We've reimagined 11 of our big hits as if I was born in Brazil. [...] We have four new songs and it's going to finally come out on August 13th." - Gloria Estefan
De-abia astept!
