Goddess Gloria Estefan never ceases to amaze me with her music. I can remember being like 6 years old and BEGGING my mom to play Oye Mi Canto over and over and over again. It was one song she had no problem putting on repeat. My bird even use to dance to that song haha Had it not been for Gloria Estefan's voice in my house as a kid, I probably wouldn't even know what latin music was because she was the 1st musician to attract me to the music with Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Santana and others following.
ok I'm bullshitting! My heart would've found it's way to Latin music somehow but she sure as hell helped!
This album is one of my favorites...if not, THE FAVORITE.
Her site says...
“90 MILLAS” pays tribute to Gloria's Latin heritage with a collection of newly recorded original Spanish language songs celebrating Cuban music and it's culture. The album also pays homage to the most influential and universally respected Latin musicians of the past fifty years. With original lyrics and music, this is the album Estefan was born to make. Some of the legendary artists joining Estefan on this album include Arturo Sandoval, Andy Garcia, Chocolate, India, Cachao, Papo Lucca, Johnny Pacheco, Generoso, and many more.
There are more artist than that who truly need to be named and not just an "and many more" mention: Carlos Santana, Jose Feliciano, Candido Camero, Sheila E., Sal Cuevas, Giovanni Hildalgo, Paquito D'Rivera, Nelson Gonzalez, Luis Enrique, and Orestes Vilato.
Those names alone should make any one who loves Latin music want to go out and buy this album. It is AMAZING! I am so impressed with the lyrics and overall musical composition of this album. It is describe as her "love letter to the people of Cuba, and her beloved country".
Cuban or not, go out and buy this album because it "pays homage to the most influential and universally respected Latin musicians of the past fifty years".
Gloria is going to be at at Starbucks next week and guess who's bringing her ass to the city for it? MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
