Gloria Estefan takes tropical plunge on new album
Tagged: Cuba, family, Gloria EstefanPosted on: July 23rd, 2007“Gloria Estefan left her native Cuba when she was just a year old. Her family was allowed to take nothing with them, except the clothes they were wearing and a small bag.
“Phonograph records were out of the question,” Estefan says, “so my grandmother would send my mother one record every time she sent a care package.” The first record Estefan recalls was by bass player Israel Lopez “Cachao,” an album “we listened to nonstop for months.”"
