Gloria Estefan and the Miami Soundmachine seem to have been overlooked in today’s time. She was huge in the 80s. “Here We Are”, “Cuts Both Ways”, “Don’t Wanna Lose You”, “Anything For You” and others. They really were a machine, hit after hit. Gloria is a great role model.

Oh this a great rabbit hole! Gloria Estefan was a trailblazer. We had never heard this type of music before, and she became a legend. Here We Are, Destiny, Steal Your Heart, Oye, Bad Boys, Music of My Heart, Anything for You,...so many more. She had many Spanish-language albums, but Mi Tierra was just a masterpiece to me. Con Los Años Que Me Quedan, Mi Tierra, and Volverás are three beauties. Coming Out of the Dark was another powerful song. She was involved in a horrific tour bus accident where she nearly died.

She sounds divine singing in Spanish as well.

Great song choice, she’s such a talented lady. You should check out some of her ballads, really beautiful.

They had so many huge hits, including a lot of awesome ballads. This song went to #5 in 1987.

Was at a wedding last Saturday, they played this all us old 60++pensioners were up bopping to this 😂 we outdanced the youngsters! Love Miami sound!

Other than Santana as a kid, Gloria was my first experience with the Latin sound, and especially the Miami dance sound. She did a local concert my senior year. It was a blast. I've loved that sound ever since.

I adore the song, "Coming Out of the Dark". I read somewhere that she wrote that song after her bus accident in which she broke her back & she was going through her medical treatment for that. Since she did so much dancing & all with her show it was very important to her that she get back into all that & she felt her faith would get her through. It's so inspirational to me.

Another favorite! *Jordan* , the "piano/guitar" is called a keytar. Keyboard held like a guitar = keytar. You mentioned horns. In Latin music, you can find some amazing horn sounds, like in jazz. Hint-hint. Next up by Gloria (with/without the Miami Sound Machine).... "1-2-3" "Bad Boy" "Don't Wanna Lose You" "Everlasting Love" (Carl Carlton had a hit with it in the '70s. I think you reacted to his song "Bad Mamma Jamma") "Turn the Beat Around" (Vicki Sue Robinson sang it before Gloria) "Coming Out of the Dark" (beautiful inspirational song. She wrote it after she and her family survived a terrible bus accident. Gloria was seriously injured, but pulled through and a few years later, gave birth to her second child, a daughter.) 🙂

With regard to the "keytar", the purpose is mobility. The artist can come out from behind a stack of keyboards or piano and interact with the audience in a similar manner as the guitarist and bassist. Roy Wooten did the same thing with his drum kit and called it a "Drumitar".

Check out "bad boys".it was used in movie three men and a baby which is a film you need to check out your hearts will melt. Gloria came on strictly come dancing ( the og dancing with the stars) in the UK and did a medley of her songs for the professionals to dance to.they nearly lost their minds in excitement as they've used her songs for Latin dances.

Had a huge crush on her back in the day… Saw her in concert in 1991… Had great seats too… The “rhythm” definitely got me that night…..

Just the most perfect combination of musicianship and production! Amazing group! Oye Mi Canto is my go to song from these guys 👌

Reminds me of my days growing up in South Miami. Her husband Emilio started the band and Gloria was such a great singer it went from "The Miami Sound Machine" to "Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine" to "Gloria Estefan".

Technically it's not by Gloria Estefan. It's Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine. Prior to that it was Miami Sound Machine. The group was founded by Emilio Estefan Jr. Anyway, it was the Miami Latin Boys, then Gloria joined the group. Eventually the group was dissolved, and it was just Gloria Estefan as she married Emilio. When this was released it was Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine.

Hi guys she was my favorite female artist from the 80's she has a nice catalog of songs her voice can melt your heart .

Gloria's husband Emilio formed the band, and played keyboards. He has won 19 Grammy's.

I haven't even listened to this reaction yet and I'm already looking ahead, and looking forward to DeBarge "Rhythm of the Night"💯🎼🔥

My Father is a huge fan of her for many years. Great song. "Get On Your Feet" "1-2-3" "Turn The Beat Around" "Anything For You" "Don't Wanna Lose You" "Words Get In The Way" "Here We Are" "Can't Stay Away From You" "Mi Tierra" "Samba" "I See Your Smile" "Bad Boy" "Live For Loving You" "Falling In Love (Uh-Oh)" She's so talented and had a great career despite an accident in 1990.

Two must listen to songs by Gloria are coming out of the dark (wonderful back story to this song) and The words get in the way. Love love love your music reactions much love to the robsquad family ❤ #smileuntilithurts than keep smiling 😊

You guys should also check out Jon Secada. He worked with her as a backup - Jon Secada celebrated his 61st birthday on October 4, 2022. He is a Cuban-born American singer who has won two Grammy Awards and sold 15 million records, making him one of the best-selling Latin music artists. He has written songs for Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez, has toured with Luciano Pavarotti and recorded duets with Olivia Newton-John and Frank Sinatra. He has a powerful voice, and range that is waay up there.

My favorite Estefan song cause it brings me back when I was about 10 years old and my mum would play very loud in the car she loved it so much!!!

" Coming Out Of The Dark " is a must ya'll 🙌

Miami Sound Machine was an American band of Latin-influenced music that had featured the vocals of Cuban-born recording artist Gloria Estefan. Established in 1975 by Emilio Estefan Jr. her husband.

Emilio Estefan started Miami Sound Machine. He and Gloria have been together since 1975. She was born in Cuba.

Keytars are synthesisers. With the left hand you select what sounds you're going for and the keys can be played with one or both hands. They're just more portable so the the person playing isn't stuck in the back behind the everyone else

That instrument is a Keytar. It's a synthasizer that allows the musician the freedom to move around the stage.

I've loved this song since it came out! SO MUCH FUN!!!

so good and so tragic in the end. So much pain. Look into what happened to her and her band. Miracles do happen, sometimes big and other times small, but they were given one they worked hard for.

Amazing song and group seen them Live. So Thankful Gloria survived the bus crash

Turn the beat around by Gloria Estefan is a great dance song as well!

Love Gloria!! Love you guys!! She has ALOT more great music you have to listen to. On that note...

One of the Miami sound machine band members was a cousin to Gloria, his name was Merci Navarro. Love thos sing always been a fave of mine.😎👌

Miami Vice on a Friday night in the 80s. Loved it.

Gloria was pure Salsa!! 🔥 Suggest Gloria Estefan 01-28-91 American Music Awards. It was her return after a horrible bus accident that initially thought would paralyze her for life. It's an extremely powerful and emotional performance. The lyrics will explain it all. Another ome was her performance of Always Tomorrow after Hurricane Andrew.

"Mi Tierra" is a beautiful & fun Spanish language Cuban-style song.

Try "Dr Beat" 🪘, their first hit I think 🤔. Also Bad boys. I wanna be in 💕, so many upbeat hits by Miami sound machine.

Gloria is a great singer this definitely a song to dance too

I have always loved Gloria Estefan and the MSM. They were such a big influence for the culture and broke the glass ceiling in the industry for that time. Still, you should look into her album, Mi Tiera. Great, great music that will make you want to move your body. It is in her native language. If you dive into that album, I suggest the song TRADACION. It has horns, congas, and a Big band ensemble that will take you on a journey that will melt your heart, get you up to dance and smile the whole way through. As always great job you two! 🤘🏽

Ahhh Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine. Words get in the way, the song that was playing when I kissed my girlfriend (now wife of 34 years) for the first time.

Gloria does a beautiful duet called 'Music of My Heart' with *NSYNC

I liked a lot of Gloria/Miami Sound Machine's early albums, with "Primitive Love" being a particular favourite (the CD has some good bonus tracks too). I really enjoyed the CD single remixes for two covers she did as a solo artist later on - "Everlasting Love" and "Turn The Beat Around" - but that was the last time (1994!) she released anything noteworthy really.

So much more of her and the miami sound machine to dive into ...such an amazing voice and example of determination of the spirit

I would like to recommend COMING OUT OF THE DARK. The song that she recorded after he wreck. I really love it

Another great song is Turn the Beat Around. But they also do love songs like Anything for You. Her husband Emilio is also in the band.

Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine ! I was lucky enough to be working in Florida in the late 70's when they were torching up the night clubs ! Hottest show in town l Great memories !

Their ballads are just as beautiful. Tremendously gifted group of musicians. Gloria Esteban was the icing on the cake. They were wonderful!!

Thank you! This rhythm gets EVERYBODY! The Santeria call & response is that extra surprise ghost pepper salt on your Cuban sandwich!

Gloria does a great version of "Turn The Beat Around." Original by Vickie Sue Robinson and it is just as great.

To see her dance and move so fluid, after her accident years ago. She is a talent and testament to strong women everywhere. I love her all.most as you two. Thanks for this memory.

I'm a long time fan, and to me, this is the most "Gloria Estefan" of all Gloria's songs. It's a more mature and sophisticated version of the idea in Conga -- a get up and dance song. It has all the elements that make her work great. The complex Latin rhythms, a melody that makes full use of her amazing voice, the call-and-response opener, the synth slide up to a stop-bang, snappy horns, and a party attitude. If you're a ballroom dancer, it's a great cha-cha number, but you're going to need to sit down and drink some cold water when it's over.

Had one of the best sounds ever. Loved her voice ❤

Haven't heard this song in a minute or two, and you know what? The rhythm got me...yet again! Thanks for your reaction. I'll be listening to this one again!

"Falling in Love (Uh Oh) is a great ballad from their earlier chart days and "Live for Loving You" will get you on your feet as well. Both are worth a listen.

LOVED the Miami Sound Machine!!! The Words Get in the Way is a great ballad by them.
