About Gloria Estefan
As one of the biggest new stars to emerge during the mid-'80s,
singer Gloria Estefan predated the coming Latin pop explosion by a
decade, scoring a series of propulsive dance hits rooted in the
rhythms of her native Cuba before shifting her focus to softer, more
ballad-oriented fare.
Born Gloria Fajardo in Havana on September 1, 1957, she was raised
primarily in Miami, FL, after her father, a bodyguard in the employ of
Cuban president Fulgencio Batista, was forced to flee the island
following the 1959 coup helmed by Fidel Castro. In the fall of 1975,
Fajardo and her cousin Merci Murciano auditioned for the Miami Latin
Boys, a local wedding band headed by keyboardist Emilio Estefan. With
their addition, the group was rechristened Miami Sound Machine and
four years later, Fajardo and Estefan were wed. As Miami Sound Machine
began composing their own original material, their fusion of pop,
disco, and salsa earned a devoted local following, and in 1979 the
group issued their first Spanish-language LP on CBS International.
Despite a growing Hispanic fan base, they did not cross over to
non-Latin audiences until "Dr. Beat" topped European dance charts in
1984.

With 1985's Primitive Love, Miami Sound Machine recorded their
first English-language effort, scoring three Top Ten pop hits in the
U.S. alone with the infectious "Conga," "Bad Boy," and "Words Get in
the Way." For 1988's triple-platinum Let It Loose, the group was
billed as Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine, reeling off four Top
Ten hits -- "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You," "Can't Stay Away From You," the
chart-topping "Anything for You," and "1-2-3." 1989's Cuts Both Ways
was credited to Gloria Estefan alone and generated her second number
one hit, "Don't Wanna Lose You"; however, while touring in support of
the album, on March 20, 1990, her bus was struck by a tractor-trailer.
She suffered a broken vertebrae that required extensive surgery and
kept her off the road for over a year. Emilio Estefan and the couple's
son were injured in the crash as well, but all three recovered. Gloria
Estefan resurfaced in 1991 with Into the Light, again topping the
charts with "Coming Out of the Dark," a single inspired by her
near-fatal accident; two more cuts from the album, "Can't Forget You"
and "Live for Loving You," secured her foothold on the adult
contemporary charts.
With 1993's Mi Tierra, Gloria Estefan returned to her roots, recording
her first Spanish-language record in close to a decade and earning a
Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album; on the follow-up, 1994's
covers collection Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, she also recalled her
dance-pop origins with a rendition of the Vicki Sue Robinson disco
classic "Turn the Beat Around." Another all-Spanish effort, Abriendo
Puertas, earned the Grammy as well, while Destiny featured "Reach,"
named the official theme of the 1996 Summer Olympics. As Latin pop
made new commercial headway thanks to the efforts of acts like Ricky
Martin and Enrique Iglesias, Gloria Estefan reigned as the most
successful crossover artist in Latin music history, with international
record sales close to the 50 million mark. In 1999, Gloria Estefan
also made her feature film debut alongside Meryl Streep in Music of
the Heart, recording the film's title song as a duet with *N Sync and
scoring both a massive pop hit and an Oscar nomination in the process.
A new Spanish-language album, Alma Caribe?a, followed in the spring of
2000. Several months later, Gloria Estefan was awarded a Grammy for
Best Music Video for "No Me Dehes De Querer at the first annual Latin
Grammy Awards. Her husband, Emilio, won for Producer of the Year.
