Gloria Estefan's early years were not easy. Her father Jose
was among the Cuban exiles who participated in the 1961 Bay
of Pigs invasion, the unsuccessful attempt to oust Castro
from power. Jose spent a year and a half in a Cuban prison,
and during this time Gloria and her mother lived in a Cuban
ghetto near the Orange Bowl in Miami. Misfortune continued
to follow her dad. He was badly poisoned by the defoliant,
Agent Orange while serving in Vietnam. When her mother went
out to make a living, Gloria had to act as nurse and tend
to her invalid father. Her one source of comfort was the
guitar she had been given when she was 12. She would sing
to herself the Top 40 tunes of the day, alone in her room
for hours on end.
Gloria, Ihave a granddaughter that is interested in singing, she is 16years old and has had singing lessons. We need to know what her next step is to proceed on her singing career. Right now she is in her High school choir. By the way, we had met you and your husband and your daughter at the Polyneian Hotel in Disney World and the both of you were very gracious as to give us your audiograph and my granddaughter, Nicolette was there to meet you. At that time your family had been celebrating your daughters Birthday and I think it was in February when we had met you. We would be very thankful if you could help us in any way. We would also like to donate to your charity if we could help as we would like to be helped. We live inLighthouse Pt. Fl. phone #954-782-3451 looking for some help to further my granddaughter's singing interest, also she writes her music and enjoys every minute of it. Thank you, Arlene DiPompeo

------ About the song Hoy performed by Gloria Estefan
hey, i made the translation of this song i hope is good enough, so it's a very romantic song about 2 people in love that drifted apart for unknown reasons and now some time later they finally get together! this song uses many metaphores i hope i get it right in english for you,if u have questions let me know... enjoy!
Hoy-Today
I have written in my heart all the days that the time didn’t let me be here.
I have a growing faith that is with me and heals me since the day I met you.
I have a lost print between your shadow and mine for that I can not lie.
I’m a coin in the fountain; you are my pending wish, you make me feel like living again.
I have a constant morning and a watercolor waiting to see you in blue.
I have your love and your luck, and a small steep way,
I have the sea on the other side,
you are my north and my south.
CHORUS:
Today I’ll see you again
Im going to get wrapped in your clothes,
Whisper me in your silence
When you see me arrive.
Today I’ll see you again;
I will cheer you up from sadness
Let’s make a party for this love to grow more.
I have a phrase hanging between my mouth and my pillow that reveals me to you.
I have a beach and people that join me at night when you are not next to me.
I have a constant morning and a watercolor waiting to see you in blue.
I have your love and your luck, and a small steep way,
I have the sea on the other side,
you are my north and my south.
starting again it's gonna takes sometime life never easy we live and we learn every day for me there is mountains to climb every step I take I will be closer to what I have been searching for
coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now It's shinning on me coming out of the dark, I know the love that saved me you're sharing with me
your love is so grant it's part of your plan looking back it was never easy for me. but I know I will make it through with the touch of your love I know you save me , your love is shinning on me.
repeat chorus
how wonderful it's to know I have been touch by your love ooh your love forever and forever I have been touch by your love ooh ooh yeah yeah
I wish I can Have an opportunity to re-sing this I wanted to do this all my life with Mrs Estefan permission. please can I Shenell Nassau, Bahamas
thank you so much!

------ About the song Hoy performed by Gloria Estefan
Gloria Estefan is one of my favourite singers ever, her repertoire is amazing, and since she left singing American style songs in English behind and refocused on her Cuban origin, she's just been getting better & better. Doesn't her music just grip your heart? In "Hoy" she picked up some pre-colombian native musical elements and blended it into her ever-moving and irresistable flavour - I can't get enough!
Great Lyrics! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Time Waits performed by Gloria Estefan
I'd been wondering if Gloria had seen what Jung had said about predictive dreams, and about the spirit being outside of space-time, but as usual, she's light years ahead of me.
I don't think the current ego evaporates entirely though. Visions of past lives indicate that we retain the memories, though not the perspectives.

Por Un Beso | Reviewer: BBrian
------ About the song Por Un Beso performed by Gloria Estefan
I have looked countless places for a translation from Spanish to English for this song. I was so happy to find one that, in my opinion, espresses the sentiment in English which I believe was intended by the Spanish writer. Thank you very much. I wish more of the songs were translated and done as well.

------ About the song Go Away performed by Gloria Estefan
O.K. this is how it is. I walk every night or every other night to relax and watch the stars, (Yes I know corny but someone has to do the dreaming and think "It could Happen!, Right?) So anyways, I take along this cassette player, yes cassette with the tape of Gloria's. Most of the song I knew most of the words to, love them. Then it started, Go away! Why don't you just go away! I love it and yes like another review poster it seemed to fit my life right now, or at least that is how I am precieving life right now. Make sense? So, thnks for the song to let me know I was crazy for thinking like that and for making the beat so great, I love walking, singing, and dancing to it.

------ About the song Go Away performed by Gloria Estefan
I've heard this song many, many times, and since I am from Argentina I am sure she doesn't say "ciao, bye bye hasta la vista", but "CHAU, bye bye hasta la vista". "CHAU" is a very common and colloquial way to say "good bye" in South American countries, mostly Argentina. So I'd say she's saying a farewell message in many ways, and includes this region's one.

------ About artist/band Gloria Estefan
gloria is a very caring and strong person.I did not get this from this biography but when her father died from multiple sclerosis she was very strong she was even strong when she was in the bus accident but that was because she didnt want her son to see how much pain she was in.she and emilio had two very cute children and I bet they are great parents they did a nice deed when they gave 3million to the survivors from hurricane andrew.
So true. Love makes you do things which you would never even dream of. Its a beautiful song, so very true to its each word for the story and the meaning of love when you don't know what it is all going to do to you and make you do.

Um... I am doing a report on you and I dont know what school you go to in your young adult years (college or university). Can you give me the information?
This is one of my favorite songs... it's got plenty of energy, and I love the theme of lovers who refuse to be torn apart. In other words, they want to please and protect each other, which, in my opinion, is a large part of what love is all about. Honestly, I just can't get enough of this song!
From out of nowhere... comes a smash hit!!! | Reviewer: Luigifan
------ About the song out of nowhere performed by Gloria Estefan
First off, I should mention that THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!! Honestly, the vocals, the tunes, the lyrics... everything about it is top-notch! And its music video has some really hot dancing! The theme about finding love when one least expects it is perfectly suited to the stories I like to write (*coughTailsandAnniecough*,) and it's also lively enough to use for energetic occasions. I just love this song to pieces!
THis biography is cool beacuse it states some things about her life but not all.I alos think gloria is good beacuse she was lucking that the boys piccked her to be in there band cause i cant sing cool ms.estefan:)

------ About the song HOLD ME, THRILL ME, KISS ME performed by Gloria Estefan
First of all, I've never heard Gloria's version.
The only version I will remember forever is Mel Carter's. Having clarified that point, I will admit now that "Hold Me, Kiss Me.." made me loose my virginity and it moves me everytime I hear it.
