MI TIERRA

What better way to warm up this winter than with the single that won Gloria the Grammy for “Best Tropical Latin Album?” “Mi Tierra” was her first Spanish album and goes back to her childhood roots in Cuba. Filled with great beats and even better horns—you can’t help but dance. You’re stuck inside anyway, so why not practice your cha-cha-cha? After all that you might need to cool down with a mojito!

CONGA

A true dance-pop classic—Miami Sound Machine’s first hit single “Conga” really brings the heat. With lyrics like “It’s the rhythm of the island, and like the sugar cane so sweet,” you can almost feel the hot sand beneath your feet. This Billboard Top 10 hit has kept people dancing for years, so shake off those flurries and shake your body instead. No need for a fireplace when you’ve got the fire of desire!

TRADICIÓN

Gloria Estefan grew up in Miami—where music and dance were a huge part of her cultural traditions. Put on this song and get swept away by the warm, tropical beats and traditional Cuban music that will get you dancing. The trees may be covered in frost, but this music will make you feel like the butterfly flowers are already blooming!

YOU’LL BE MINE (PARTY TIME)

Nothing brings up the temperature in the room like a party—invite some friends over and get everyone moving to “You’ll Be Mine (Party Time).” Sing the words “When the sun is setting in the sky, everybody knows it’s party time” enough times and the summer BBQ you’re dreaming of will be here before you know it.

GET ON YOUR FEET

This song is a veritable summer classic—like a pool party for your ears! So, take off that extra sweater, throw your hands in the air, and start moving because this song starts the ultimate heat wave. Whenever you’re feeling down this winter, remember that Gloria Estefan’s passion is enough to get you through any weather—just feel the rhythm and get your body moving!
