Album: BRAZIL305 by Gloria Estefan (2020)
Genre: Pop | Mood: Fun
Format: Album

Description: Gloria Estefan has not released an album since 2013's Standards. In the interim, the world of Latin pop music has exploded in popularity (again). It's not uncommon to see Latin artists topping terrestrial and streaming charts and breaking YouTube viewing records. Estefan pioneered the first Latin pop explosion, paving the way for artists like Ricky Martin, Draco Rosa, and Shakira. Her best records radically fused pop, R&B, salsa, and Latin funk. Brazil305 reminds listeners that, five decades into her celebrated career, Estefan remains both a virtuoso and visionary. Years ago, she felt the African continent's connective tissue joining Cuban and Brazilian musics in her bones. She imparts that link to fans here via re-envisioned and re-recorded versions of 14 catalog hits and four new tunes, played by an enormous international cast in studios from Brazil to Greece to both North American coasts.
