Artist name: Gloria Estefan Album name: 90 Millas Label: Burgundy Records/SonyBMG Gender: Latino/Pop Release date: September 17, 2007 ZMErating: 8/10 Website: http://www.gloriaestefan.com/ The artist which split from Miami Sound Machine in 1989 has some memorable hits but her most noticeable efforts are her Spanish-language ones.

Probably there are not many people who can say that they did not watch at least a music video on youtube.
