After a long career as a crossover queen, Gloria Estefan, along with her co-composer-producer husband, Emilio, has been captured in a nostalgic mood. The album's title, 90 Millas (90 Miles), refers to the distance between the couple's ancestral Cuba and their present home in the city of Miami where, first as lead vocalist with the Miami Sound Machine and later as a solo artist, Ms. Estefan became an important figurehead for a large ex-pat community. On this set, she is heard exclusively in Spanish, fronting a superstar line-up of singers and instrumentalists (a partial list would include Paquito d'Rivera, Johnny Pacheco, Israel "Cachao" López, Carlos Santana, José Feliciano, Arturo Sandoval, Sheila E., and movie star and Latin music aficionado Andy García). Her previous three albums performed exclusively in that language, Mi Tierra (1993), Abriendo Puertas (1995), and Alma Caribeña (2000), were each a bit more far-flung stylistically but this opus is Havana all the way. Highlights include the string-backed charanga romance of "Bésame," the high-spirited, "Guantanamera"-like call-and-response of "Refranes," the percussive, brassy frenzy of "Esta Fiesta No Va Acabar," the African influenced "Morenita," and "Volveré," which bears more than a slight melodic resemblance to Cat Stevens' "Wild World." The material is uniformly newly composed, and highly authentic and lilting it is, too. But it would also be wonderful to hear Ms. Estefan interpret a few classic boleros and sons, especially she has long since proven that she is equipped to do so with flying colors. --Christina Roden

2) Excellent album by Gloria.   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Thank you Gloira. I have been a fan of you since the beginning. I love your voice and music. Many people have said that if it wasn't for Emilio you wouldn't be famous but that's just envy. You are very talented on your own rights and a very original singer and I love your live shows as well as all your albums. On 90 millas you sound as cuban as Celia Cruz, you sing with passion and sound very credible.I hope you release an english album soon. I loved the unwrapped album as well and still listen to all your albums from the 80's.

3) moving   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I'm not an Estefan fan in particular - but I love Cuban music and saw her perform on the Today show - impressive. This cd is absolutely wonderful - very emotional for me - heart to heart material. What a band! Viva Cachao - for just one.

4) Gloria You've Done It Again   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This album is a GREAT album. Este álbum le tendrá bailando y para cantar. From the 1st track all the way to the last track. Al gunas canciones se destacan más que los otros, pero ellos son todo gran. You wont be disappointed.

5) Very Bailable   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Very Cuban bailable songs. On the island of Curacao it is a custom to buy lots of CD's at the end of the year. This is a must CD on the Island.
