    My high school band director selected Gloria Estefan tunes every year. As a Cuban-American, this was a big deal. Pride…I never forgot from where my family derived. What a blessing to be born in America decades after my family arrived in America and still being surrounded…embraced by the sounds of a free Cuba. Only in America…preservation of one’s culture, language, and history…enriching the land of freedom. All the while becoming that much more American. Patria y Vida.

    i admire Gloria immensely... even when the interviewer wants to focus on 'race' or heritage.. Gloria reminds her what America is all about.. she doesnt have to shun her heritage or culture.. but to recognize what this country once stood for makes me proud

    Although Gloria & Emilio did alot for Latin Musicians, don't forget Ritchie Valens and Carlos Santana. They did alot but didn't get the recognition that they so richly deserved. I don't think Ritchie is in the rock & roll hall of fame. Either way they are amazing.

    Whitewash of the time. Rock & Roll earliest pioneers were Black folks but never got the recognition at the time let that sink in.

    I really think that we are the cusp of the USA, becoming a Latin country, among the others. Even more special, that we have ALL the Latins here and we all the US, home. 🇲🇽 Viva México!! 🇲🇽 (Today, Sept. 16, is our Independence Day. Among other Central American countries)

    She may have had her day since go solo and leaving the Miami Sound Machine, yes she’s had some great Spanish hits, some of her latest videos were encouraging, would be nice to see her loose some weight, and create some 90’s music fit for 2022.

    *"lose some weight?!"* What's wrong with how she looks now? 🤔 She's an amazingly talented beautiful woman who I'm sure still suffers from pain as a result of *her back being broken* in 1990.... SMH 🤦🏽
