Hit: 5 Stars
"Mi Tierra" es sin g?nero de dudas el mejor album latino de Gloria, ni siquiera superado por "90 Millas".
Todas las canciones podr?an ser la cara A de un single ... Mi tierra, Hablemos el mismo idioma, ...
Es un gran homenaje a sus ra?ces cubanas que tanto a?ora.
Indispensable en cualquier salsoteca
Free Music Review: What a stunning album
Hit: 5 Stars
I always considered Estefan a talented but too pop-oriented for my taste. But this collection of Cuban songs sung in Spanish was a revelation. Absolutely brilliant recording!Free Music Review: magical and transformative music......
Hit: 5 Stars
From the opening bars of the beautiful "Con Los A?os Que Me Quedan" (translation: "With the Years I have Left"), the luscious and seamless sounds of Gloria Estefan's heavenly music on MI TIERRA (MY HOMELAND) fill my heart with tenderness and longing. This wonderful ballad provides just a little taste of the range and brilliance of the music of Cuba, the country of Gloria Estefan's soul and rich heritage. How lucky are we that Estefan chose to share the music of her heart with us.
We hear a little bit of everything, from son montuno (a variation on the son, a typical Afro-Cuban rhythm) on "Si Senor! Es Mi Son!" to montuno on "Montuno" (another rhythmic traditional type of music whose influence is often heard in salsa, and transcends nationality, rooted in its uptempo beat). The lyrics in these pieces (translated into English) are pure poetry. They are filled with rich romantic imagery, passion, longing, pain and joy. Several were penned by Estefan and husband Emilio. They include "Mi Tierra (My Homeland)," "No Hay Mal Que Por Bien No Venga (Out of All Bad, Some Good Things Come)" and "Hablemos El Mismo Idioma (Let's Speak The Same Language)." What's more, Gloria and Emilio Estefan had the beautiful concept of inviting (in their words on the CD jacket) "All-Star Latin Musicians" to participate. This includes the legendary bass player Israel Lopez "Cachao," flautist Nestor Torres, and Jon Secada (who co-wrote "No Hay Mal Que Por Bien No Venga" with Gloria and Emilio, and Cachao).
This is, for me, some of the best music I have ever heard from Gloria Estefan's repertoire. This album is truly in a class by itself and I really think it's essential for any Latin Music collection.
