Glad you guys enjoyed the song and video. I was the original guitarist for Miami Sound Machine (the guy playing guitar wearing a Panama hat in the video). It was cool watching somebody watch the video for the first time 36 years later.
This was and still is a favorite of mine and in fact love everything you guys did. Thank you for blessing us with your music❣❤❤❤
I played this album to death, and still love it today. You guys are amazing. Much love.
Very cool! I partied big time to this song in the early 80's or thereabouts...did you know Jon Secada?
I loved you guys! If I had a bad day at work when I was 21, I would put my tape on with my favorite songs on it so, I could dance. I had earphones on with an extra long chord & the music was blaring. It was also great at weddings. The whole place would be up, even my Mom. It was a lot of fun. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. It is such a Blessing. Y'all we're great! Be safe.
I have great memories of this song from my childhood. When this came on the radio, it hardly mattered if you were a Dutch kid in IA, you were doing The Conga.
Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine had 6 top 10 hits including 4 #1's. They were huge in the late 1980's! edit- You will love their "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" and "1-2-3"
In addition to fun party songs like those listed above I would add Get on your feet, she can belt out in ballads too, like in Coming out of the Dark.
It’d be hard to overstate how this band took the world by storm in the 80’s. Legendary.
This song was a huge hit in the Philippines. My mom absolutely loves this song.
As a Miami girl in a Cuban family I can tell you Gloria Estefan and the Miami sound machine is still played at EVERY SINGLE party we have from birthdays to Noche Buena or a just plain old Monday night as your cooking in the kitchen. Yessssss! Love the effect this song had on you guys!!!!!!
As a German boy who grew up in Denver, I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I first heard it in California while a young Marine. Cuban music is soooo much fun!!
saludos a todos los cubanos en miami. saludos desde uno boricua en pennsylvania. me encanta gloria estefan. este exito es increible. me gusta mucho celia cruz, tito nieves, marc anthony, y gloria. gloria es increible
Love Gloria Estefan! She has a lot of awesome songs to get hooked on. "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You", "1-2-3", "Dr. Beat", "Get On Your Feet", "Anything For You", "Bad Boy", "Coming Out of the Dark", "Here We Are", "Mi Terra", "Oye Mi Canto", "Don't Wanna Lose You" and "Words Get In The Way". Oh, FYI, the guy in the blue jacket on the conga drums is her husband, Emilio Estefan, who is also her manager.
My vote, too, for Get on Your Feet.
And she wrote most of all those songs! She is amazing!!!
All of this!💥
I second every single one of these, and would add my favorite, "Can't Stay Away From You".
Also, don’t forget
“Can’t Stay Away From You”
“Cuts Both Ways”
And “Falling In Love” (Uh-Oh)
Gloria was HUGE back in the day. She had a terrible accident, well they all did (I think it was the tour bus that crashed) But she survived, and came back even stronger. 💖🎵🎸🎤🎶💃💃💃💃💃
Yes I remember that, it happened near my hometown. I was a kid and she was huge at that time. The tour bus crashed in the snow near Scranton, Pa. They were pretty messed up but I believe everyone survived and eventually came back better than ever. Man, that must've been the late 80s!?
Yep, I remember it, she broke her back. I think the song she did for the Olympics was her comeback after the accident
Tour bus crashed near Scranton Pa. My home town. Remember it well. She persevered. Mark of true strength .
Not to contradict you but i think that accident ruined her career, she was never the same, breaking her back, she couldn’t dance like she did before the accident and her voice lost some power which is very understandable after that tragedy, this story resembled a lot like billy idol, he too was never the same
Yes when she came back did that song coming out of the dark. Great song great comeback. However. The accident happened at the peak of her career, she couldn’t dance as well due to a broken back and was out of the game so long the group lost its momentum and never was as hot as they were pre accident.
This song was released just before my very first DJ gig, and I've played it at nearly every gig I've done, and it still fills the dance floor. That Cuban flavor just can't be stopped!
The real hits are timeless
I swear, the best part of this was watching the two of you light up and come to life when the horns came in, followed closely by Gloria's awesome vocals!
That caught you completely off guard, and it was freakin' AWESOME!
This song is from 1985. Check out their 1987 hit "Rhythm is Gonna Get You" if you wanna hear another banger from them! Not that those are their only two hits, mind you.
She's unbelievable. Must check out her story. Coming Out of the Dark took me through a really rough time in my life.
That was my first thought when they mentioned her voice. Coming Out Of The Dark is a beautiful song!
My sentamental favorite from them was "Anything for you". When it first came out, I was going through a painful divorce and had to drive several hundred miles to court. Every time this song played on the CD, I cried like a baby.
I was going to say her having her back broken in that accident and going on to perform that song at that awards ceremony was truly incredible. I hope the video they use is the live performance of that. The audience was so appreciative. Need to hear “Rhythm is gonna get you”.
Absolutely. Gloria is fantastic.
UNDERRATED!! They were the shit! Hits upon hits, upon hits. Now I have to revisit their hits. There were quite a few. Loved them. They looked & sounded great live. Their tour bus were involved in a really bad accident. Gloria couldn't walk for a long time.
She actually broke her back in that bus accident. I still remember the horrible feeling when the news came out. Everyone thought it was over for them but she was a fighter and came back from it, and continued to produce some beautiful music afterward.
Didn't she also fall off a stage and hurt herself at one point? Or am I thinking of someone else?
@@CardiacCat I actually was at one of her first concerts after that wreck that she performed without the back brace (near Chicago..can't remember the actual name of the venue). "Coming Out of the Dark Tour". She busted her butt to come back from that wreck, and she came back with a vengeance! :)
💯
@@CardiacCat Absolutely. I never thought they'd come back, but thankfully they kept the hits comin.
I love her ballads, "Anything For You," "Don't Wanna Lose You" and "Words Get In the Way"
'Words get in the way' is especially beautiful.
Yes there a must ..beautiful .
I see your smile, here we are, cuts both ways, also awesome by her
Also Here We Are, Cuts Both Ways
There was no one, absolutely NO ONE who could crank up the energy that this woman could. AMAZING WOMAN AND PERFORMER!
You need to hear Gloria sing -
"1-2-3", "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You", "Don't Wanna Lose You, Now", "Words Get In the Way", "Bad Boy", "Coming Out of the Dark", (inspired after having a broken back from her tour bus being crashed into by a large truck. Her husband and son were also on the bus and had less extreme injuries. There's an English and Spanish version) "This Christmas", (first by Donny Hathaway) "Everlasting Love", "Turn the Beat Around", and more. The last two are remakes of songs from the disco/'70s era.
As 40yr old cuba-merican, born & raised in Miami, I can't fathom anyone not knowing this song. It's been played and danced to at every major event (bdays, weddings, quinceñeras, etc) throughout my whole life. So glad you both enjoyed it.
Being Mexican American (mixed) as a teenager in the 80s (and being in eastern Oklahoma no less) she gave Latino music a voice. We would buy her cassettes in English and Spanish.
Being from the other side of the planet in a cold and dark place I still can't fathom anyone not knowing this song.
As a 50-something (hah! :D) German, born & raised in Germany, I can't fathom this either :D
Maybe they need to Turn The Beat Around
Anybody alive during that time!!!!
.....and this....is why we like the 80's. Such a great time.
When The Miami Sound Machine came on the scene. They killed it..! No one sounded like they did and the fusion of Cuban and American music is impeccable.
Gloria's remake of "Turn the Beat Around" is still one of my all time fave songs. OMG You just have to get up and dance.
I loved the original " Turn The Beat Around" sung by Vickie Sue Robinson was fantastic, but I too like Gloria's remake better.
It takes me back to car rides with my dad.. he always had them playing in the car ❤
Not only is Gloria a great entertainer, but she is an amazing over comer, please check out more of her music AND her life story.
Yeah and amazing survivor after experiencing a terrible tour bus accident that could've left her paralyzed if it weren't for her workout routine strengthing her lower back muscles.
RSR Family Gloria is royalty here in Miami. That's right I live here and some great music has come from here. This song was huge back in the day. This is the Latin sound that took over here in the 80s. I'm the son of Cuban immigrants and this band was important to the Cuban community. It's always about the beat with latin music.
Her voice, so amazing. Her love songs make me cry.
Gloria Estefan is a latina legend. She was in a bus accident in 1990 and suffered a spinal injury. The fact that she made a full recovery is amazing.
Gloria is a Cuban American and a "Diva" voice. So of course most of the band being Latino you expect a Latin sound.
From an old white guy that went to so many concerts in the early 70’s , 80’s and 90’s I’m so glad to see young folks experiencing the sounds and talents of the bands I grew up on. Chicago and the Doobie Brothers was my fist concert in 1974. Love you guys !!
You're right, Amber! Whenever "Conga" plays at a wedding reception or a backyard barbecue, people get up and start dancing!
I didn't think I'd like her music back then but quickly became a fan. My favorite song of hers is "Words Get In The Way", but she had several great songs.
The wreck she survived was terrible, and I watched her reemergence on some awards show years ago. "Coming Out Of The Dark" was a moment I remember.
Have a great day!
Bad Boy was my very favorite song by Gloria... she is a killer singer!
Words get in the way just shows her true ability as a gifted singer. I've always liked her/them.
When you said "doesn't sound like no conga," I literally said out loud "just wait."
You CAN'T NOT DANCE to this...this song will wake me up out of a dead sleep... LOVE LOVE LOVE Gloria and the MSM!! She's always been my pick-me-up-always-feel-good playlist. :) Thanks for adding her to Female Friday >> must do more :)
Gloria and Miami Sound Machine were insanely huge. They were literally everywhere. So many hits. This is what started it all. We have been dancing to this for almost 40 years and there are no signs of stopping.
Back in the '80's she came to my town in Iowa and what resulted was participation in (at the time) the world's longest conga line. Great memories.
Great Choice!!! She's been almost forgotten.. but she was the BEST back in her day.
A pure classic, first came out in 1985. Translated into over 100 languages. So catchy it will be played for thousands of years to come
Gloria Estefan is Miami royalty still in 2022
She is next to Celia CRUZ "AZUCAR" ! 😁
This song always filled the dance floor! Gloria Estefan has a one of a kind, gorgeous voice. You have to hear a slower song like "Here We Are" to really appreciate her voice.
I looooove Here We Are!!! I love her slow songs. They’re so good!!
Jay and Amber, the rhythm definitely got you🤗 Really enjoyed your reaction. This is a rabbit hole you'll love going down. Gloria Estefan's body of work is extensive. She opened the doors for many Latin artists. She has received many accolades and awards. She was honored at The Kennedy Center Honors in 2017. Enjoy the journey. We certainly will!!
Now I feel old, this song was at every party when I was a kids, 80s and 90s
Gloria Estefan is a legend. She was one of the first Latin music superstars to achieve a true global crossover into the popular market, long before Ricky Martin and Shakira broke through as solo artists. You could put on her greatest hits and be stunned by banger after banger after banger.
Gloria Estefan is Cuban, and the band draws heavily on Cuban music; a signature feature is that the piano is driving the tune's propulsive rhythm. It sounds pretty distinct from the music of Selena, Linda Ronstadt (both of whom are of Mexican heritage) and Marc Anthony (Puerto Rican). Next Stops, Gloria Estefan Edition:
"Get on Your Feet"
"Rhythm is Gonna Get You"
"1-2-3"
There's some similarity to Puerto Rican music, as there was a lot of cross traffic between the islands, with a lot of Cubans going there when the Communists took over Cuba. That's why Bacardi rum is in PR.
Another vote for "Get on Your Feet"
That piano style is popular in mambo and salsa. Salsa is a mix of different styles from different latin Caribbean countries, but was most popularized by Puerto Ricans in it's start. Mambo is it's close older cousin and is definitely Cuban.
I've been SO hoping you guys would listen to Gloria Estefan! She's a marvel. An amazing vocalist, songwriter, performer. You've begun an amazing journey... :) Other great tracks include "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You", "Don't Wanna Lose You", and "Coming Out Of The Dark"....
Yes !!! “Rhythm is Gonna Get You” is so fun !!!
Gloria Estefan is great and a tough woman. She almost died in 1990 but she come through all that suffering and trained hard.
This was a time of style, Miami sound machine, Miami vice, Latina beats, 80s hair, 80s excesses.. Gloria is a wonderful artist. "Turn the beat around" is my favourite amongst many great songs. Lovely Latina pop.
Her "Can't stay away from you" is lovely x
that's such a great song
I looove her slower songs!!
Coming out of the dark is an amazing song by her. It's about how she came back after a bus accident that broke her back and they didn't know if she would walk
I grew up listening to Gloria Stefan
I remember un the 90s when she recorded a full album in Spanish. A legend.
What a Cuban sweetheart! She was awesome and still is!
This was her very first hit, reaching #10 in early 1986. This is definitely a rabbit hole worth going down.
Love this but I love "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" even more! Hope you do that one.💙☮
Agreed! Rhythm Is Gonna Get You is even better than this song, believe it or not.
I love Gloria Estefan
She says don't you worry if you can't dance..just let the music move your feet!!! love it
You have to read up on her story. She is such an inspiration.
Please check Miami Sound Machine "RHYTHM GONNA GET YOU"!
I love this band!
That Miami sound. As a NYC latino, I remember as a kid Gloria being VERY popular here.
Love this band!! When this song came on the scene, it was such a breath of fresh air!! STILL love it today!! Thanks for the review!!
Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine was such a sensation with this song and they kept churning out hit after hit all through the 80's into the 90's just kind of mainstays on the radio. Just really great songs and she's a beautiful woman and singer! She has some really upbeat songs and a lot of love ballads!
"Words Get in The Way"
"Here We Are"
"Don't Want To Lose You"
"Falling In Love"
"I See Your Smile"
"Bad Boy"
I LOVE Gloria Estefan!
Perfect band name too! You knew what kind of music it would be.
You also forgot Rhythm is gonna get you.... Rob N Amber....The Song you are hearing Is from The Primitive Love Album....The one on the Drums (Enrique "Kiki" Garcia) and Gloria Wrote The Song together...It definately Was the song that celebrated The Conga Beat,With The Rhythm Song Having the beat Called Biembe..Another song created by both Garcia and Estefan!
PLEASE do Selena "I Could Fall in Love". Selena was a queen, and now a Goddess. Her voice was mesmerizing, even now.
Yes Please do Selena!!!
Yes!! And more Gloria!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Selena yes!! Como la Flor!
Selena was about to explode. She would have been JLO before JLO but unfortunately you know what happened.
All her songs. Pure Latin bliss!
This song jump started every boring party!
"Rhythm is going to get you" next please...
Back in the 80s she was one of the best. Not gonna lie. She was one of my celebrity crushes. As a matter of fact my name for her was Gloria EstaFINE. Lol. Great reaction family. Keep up the good work. Much love
RHYTHM IS GONA GET YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ THE BEST. such an iconic song
"Oye..oye.. " groove to it.
Her first reaction was everything!!🎶🎉🎊
The rhythm of Cuba where Gloria and her husband are refugees from! So yes this is your Latin beat with pop music. Quite popular in the 80’s and 90’s. In fact Gloria wrote a song for closing ceremony at the Atlanta Olympics.
Amber, you've got half the dancing thing down. Great chair dancing!
love Gloria Estefan. Used to listen to her album all the time in my youth!
Gloria Estefan And Miami Sound Machine Rhythm Is Gonna Get You
Turn the Beat around is my favorite Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine songs
Great reaction you guys glad you finally got to Gloria Estefan she has a bunch of great songs among them The words get in the way and turn the beat around which is a cover.
Gloria and Miami Sound Machine is a fav! Love that smokin' hot Latin sound. They have a few I really like. "Rhythms gonna get you" is also very good!
My only words for this song is just: OH HELL YES!
I’ve been waiting for you to do Gloria Estefan… clicked on this right away 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
If you want to introduce yourself to another Latina of that same time… Lisa Lisa & The Cult Jam is very much the vibe coming out of NYC when rap was first crossing into main stream. Their song “All Cried Out” is an epic back and forth heartbreaking ballad. She has such beautiful range in it.
Yes! "All Cried Out" Yes!
Lisa Lisa was a Prince protégé, wasn’t she? And was also half of the duo Lisa and Wendy?
AnOther Prince discovered lady is Sheila E
@@txheadshots I don’t remember her being associated with Prince or Paisley Park Studios… I do remember her coming up through the NYC club scene and she was like 17. Lisa Lisa & TCJ was still doing block parties when their first single came out.
Love Gloria she's awesome, she's from Cuba, grew up in America. Other songs I live of hers are Turn the beat around, Rhythm is gonna get you, Get on your feet, 1-2-3, Dr Beat & Can't stay away from you. I think you'll love them all guys.😎👌🎵
YES TO ALL OF THESE!
Memories! Growing up in Miami during this time, of course Gloria Estefan was everything! I freaking love her
You had me dancing with this one
They were all over the radio back then. They were huge!
Arguably the best song of the 80s. CZcams the 22-minute long live version of that song (recorded in Miami).
I love Gloria Estefan! Music you get up and dance to!! Plus she is an awesome person!!
PLEASE do Heart's cover of Stairway to Heaven at Kennedy Center Honors. It's a Led Zeppelin song and they were there watching the performance. It would be perfect for female Friday. I also think you need to hear Stairway to Heaven. It's one of Zeppelins best songs.
Yes please
😱I thought they had! OMG they've gotta!
Deeply moving.
Thanks for the reaction. These guys were at the top for a long run and the songs have staying power. GO!
I grew up in Miami and was a huge fan of Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine! They have a lot of awesome hits!
I've always loved this live-wire latin song and Gloria. She also has a beautiful love ballad, I Live for Loving You.
The best thing to come out of Miami hands down. No auto tune, pure talent.
I love Gloria Estefan, but this song is further down the line of my favorites of hers. You will love exploring her great music!
Gloria be the man!;)
She’s another one of those female voices from the seventies that’s still killin it today!
They, along with The Bee Gees rules the disco era.
Gloria Estefan is the greatest sing there is been a fan since 85 when i first heard Conga seen the 4 times in concert just before and after her near fatal bus accident. have seen her home coming concert at least 250 times.
"Coming Out of the Dark" was a great song as well!. If I remember correctly, she wrote it about surviving a plane crash. She broke her back and lost many people she cared about.
It was a bus accident.
A semi truck hit her tour bus
It was a tour bus crash.
As others here have said, tour bus was hit in the rear. She was in the back of the bus when it happened. 1990.
It happened (the bus accident) in Pa. It was a bad snowy night. They are lucky to be alive.
Amber, your body took over and fit right into the Conga!!!! You are right, you just can't sit still when they begin!!! More Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine!!!
Amber, you look amazing! Gloria Estephan has an amazing voice and is one of the divas of her time.
I ❤ Gloria Estefan!!
AhhhhYeahhhhhhhh love me some Gloria Estefan!
First…and I’ve been waiting for this!!
🏆 🥇
been a fan since 85 when i heard this song seem her 4 times in concert by now i have seen pretty much everything she has ever done mostly here on youtube the greatest singer there is.
Oh my gosh this definitely represents the happier moments of my childhood ❤ LOVE this song
Great song to dance to. I’ve always loved Gloria Estefan.
You will also want to listen to “Turn the Beat Around”.
Many years ago their tour bus was in a bad accident. killing some of her band members. I don’t remember all the details, but it was very sad.
So glad you've finally gotten to Gloria Estefan and the MSM. I knew you'd love it! :) For a couple more songs from them that will make you want to get up and dance, try "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" and "Turn The Beat Around" (which is their cover of a 70s disco classic). I've never heard her post-accident song "Coming Out Of The Dark" but so many of the fam are suggesting it here, I feel like I need to go check it out now... :)
As a student, I would put this record on as a maxi single (Vinyl, extended version) in the morning to wake me up, instead of coffee :-) I loved this song and the band and Gloria. Conga is so unique.
Miami sound machine was very popular and talented. Incredible song. Keep looking for their music.
Now you need to hear Gloria's protégé Jon Secada.
"Just Another Day" is an amazing song to start with
My dad worked as a claims adjuster and had the accident that happened w/her tour buss on his desk for a few mins before the lawyers came down and snagged it off his desk. I remember hearing about it that day and my dad came home to tell me that. She was a great singer and performer.
Gloria does have a beautiful voice especially her love ballads
Ahhh. The joy of music. Can't we all just get along?
I haven't finished but I just knew you guys would love them
