  Gloria (Maria Fajardo) Estefan
was born in Havana, Cuba on September 1,
1957. Her family fled to Florida when Gloria
was still a toddler (Gloria's father was part
of the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion of
1961 to over through Fidel Castro's control
over the Cuban government) and lived in the
Cuban ghetto of Miami. Gloria's dad was also
an Olympic bronze medallist for wrestling.
While growing up, Gloria used music to sooth
herself from the family struggles of her
dad's poor health from multiple sclerosis.
She was also singing to comfort wives and
mothers in her community whose male family
members, like Gloria's father, where off in
Vietnam. Gloria later reflected: "When I
was a teenager, I was fat, I was shy, I wore
glasses, I had a big eyebrow and hair all
over my body... it was very depressing and
scary, for me, music was the one bright spot
in my life... I sang instead of crying."
When Gloria was 18, she met Emilio Estefan at
a wedding where he was performing with his
band, the Miami Latin Boys. Gloria was
offered a job to front the band after singing
2 songs with them at the wedding. Even though
she had been planning to head to college and
eventually hope to become a psychologist,
Gloria decided to try pursuing her musical
ambitions. By the end of the 70s, Gloria and
Emilio wed (on September 1, 1978) and
embarked into the music scene as the Miami
Sound Machine (changing the name to reflect a
more diverse sound). Gloria was on her way to
becoming the first worldwide crossover Latin
music star. The Miami Sound Machine's
original lineup included Gloria, Emilio,
Enrique Garcia, Juan Avilia, and Merci
Murciano (Gloria's cousin), and helped
launched backup singer, Jon
Secada's solo career. The group
released 4 Spanish LPs in the early 80s: Renacer,
Otra Vez, Rio, and A
Toda Máguina.
 After finding success with their
sound in Central and South America with CBS
International, the Miami Sound Machine was
able to reach a broader audience when Epic
Records released Eyes
Of Innocence. The track "Dr. Beat"
found success in dance clubs internationally.

to The Herald in defense of Peggi
McKinley, a Metro-Dade Film Advisory Board
member ousted for voicing her support for
banned Cuban musicians at a Miami Beach music
conference. The Cuban-exile community has
been attacking Gloria's comments ever since
calling her a communist sympathizer, even
though she was once their most beloved
representative. Estefan later stated,
"In Miami, they think I'm just 'Come on
shake your body baby do that conga.' Well,
I'm more than that, I'm not the best singer
in the world. I'm a communicator."
 When the Pope was to visit Cuba
the following January for the first time, he
won't be seeing Gloria sing. Gloria's husband
told the Miami Herald: "We will
never sing in Cuba while Fidel Castro's
regime exists. The day Gloria sings in Cuba,
she will do so because Cuba is free, and we
trust that this will happen soon."
Gloria has been asked several times to
perform for the Pope while he is in Cuba.
