Tribute to Gloria Estefan:
“Hear my song” (‘Oye mi canto’)! That is what Gloria called out in Spanish during her heyday!
Gloria Estefan represents the Latin side in our Groovetop Tribute offerings. The Cuban-born American singer and composer conquered the world in the 1980s and 1990s and became the queen of Latin pop. In doing so, she created an entirely new genre at that time and was the forerunner and matriarch of singers such as Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Olivia Rodrigo, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, but also of the more Latin pop repertoire, as performed for example by Enrique Iglesias.
She won 5 Grammys. Her repertoire ranges from commercial Latin pop, through sing-along ballads, to authentic Cuban salsa.
Many listeners and fans see Estefan’s repertoire as a coming-of-age and the emancipation of the Latin genre in contemporary pop music.
Danceable listening songs of a musically very high level.
This Tribute evening will be a celebration of recognition recognition and an ode to this lady who grew into one of the greatest icons from Cuba in modern music/pop history.
