ODA A LA TIERRA QUERIDA
Ningun disco ha sido un homenaje mas precioso a la tierra donde uno ha nacido como este grandioso disco de Gloria; cada vez que lo escucho siento como mis raices latinas se estremecen en mi ser y me hace amar mas la tierra donde yo he nacido y donde deseo que Dios me conceda morir... desde la nostalgica CON LOS AÑOS QUE ME QUEDAN, la evocadora MI TIERRA, las baladas romanticas como MI BUEN AMOR, VOLVERAS, lamentos caribeños como HABLAS DE MI, ritmos tan tipicos latinos como SI SENOR y TRADICION, la inspiradora NO HAY MAL QUE POR BIEN NO VENGA... este es un disco para nunca olvidar nuestras raices y seguir conservando nuestro patrimonio...¡Y QUE SIGA LA TRADICION!!!

one of the best albums of music I have heard in my life! Could anybody not like this?
Gloria Estefan aimed this album at spanish speaking people hoping that other people would like it too.They did.If you want to hear music that has everything going for it,Mi Tierra is for you.The lyrics and singing are beautiful,the music is from heaven and any clouds above Cuba - Gloria's homeland - no doubt have formed from the smoke of hoardes of people contentedly smoking cigars as they listen to this masterwork.The booklet that comes with the cd has the lyrics in English and Spanish and interestingly Gloria says that much of the Spanish is Cuban slang that even Spaniards wouldn't be familiar with.

A Spanish Lily
The lovely shot of Gloria your looking at is not misleading. The music inside is just as beautiful as the artist. Gloria has long used Spanish music to let her artistic soul flourish and this is her luxuriant masterpiece. This album is filled with beauty. If you love music and you want to hear the best of what it has to offer then this is a perfect place to start.

Once the beautiful "With the Years that I have Left" starts we are transported to an elegant and exotic club somewhere in South America. The glossy hardwood counters are polished to perfection and the cherry finish complements the sego palms nicely as wine glasses are filled with only the best.

Gloria's rich and emotional voice surrounds the room and is backed by a lush orchestra and breezy Spanish guitars. So great is this Spanish Lily we can feel Gloria moving around the room in this opulent club and smiling as she passes by our small table. The songs move from love of one's homeland to romantic love lost, waiting, and everything in-between.

Gloria fills this room with her magical phrasing of a beautiful language. We hear so many wonderful songs we dare not leave and miss a moment. There are songs of forgiveness and hope, and songs of true love and hanging on 'till the one lost to you returns. One song, the light and playful "Si Senor!", has a whole Andrew Sisters kind of sound and feel to it.

One of the prettier songs we hear before our time in this Spanish paradise is over is "Volveras" (You'll Be Back). Gloria knows the man she has given her heart to who now wants to foolishly leave her for another will be back because he can't erase her memory. But we know it's only a song. No one would be foolish enough to leave this Spanish flower.

The night is almost over and we must return to our hotel. But what we've seen and heard has enriched and expanded our world. We want to come back once in awhile to feel like this again. Lucky for us we own this little keepsake of our time with Gloria in Spanish paradise...
