Dialogue: Emilio Estefan

As a child in Havana, Emilio Estefan stunned his family when he proclaimed he wanted to pursue a career in music. Despite no musical background, Estefan doggedly pursued his passion after moving to the U.S. as a teenager. Three decades later, Estefan is a major figure in Latin music, with 14 Latin Grammys to his credit. Both an expert and enthusiastic champion of a vibrant musical genre he clearly loves, Estefan has now channeled his passion into a documentary called “90 Millas,” which he shot while recording the album of the same name with his wife, recording star Gloria Estefan. Emilio spoke to The Hollywood Reporter’s Kevin Cassidy about his foray into filmmaking and the need to preserve the history of Cuban music.”*
