In a recent episode of her Apple Fitness+ series \u201cTime to Walk,\u201d Gloria Estefan shared that she believes she has a \u201cpsychic ability\u201d that she describes as a \u201ccertainty\u201d about something. These feelings of certainty led to Gloria just knowing that her band Miami Sound Machine would become world famous, even though they were still just a little gig band trying to make it big at the time.<\/p>\n
\nShe gets flashes:<\/b> “You know, throughout my life, I got these flashes. I would just have this certainty about something, that some people might call a psychic ability. And I kept getting this recurring feeling that we’re going to be famous all over the world,” she says of Miami Sound Machine’s success.<\/p>\n
She predicted the details of their big break:<\/b> “One night, I ventured to tell Emilio [Estefan] and he’s going, ‘Really?’ I go, ‘I don’t know how, I don’t know when, but I’m just certain. In fact, I think we’re going to be famous outside the U.S. before we ever are famous here.’ One day, we’re rehearsing in our garage and all of a sudden, ‘Dr. Beat’ comes on the radio and we go, ‘What?’ We\u2019re jumping up and down like fools going, ‘How did this happen?’” Estefan, 66, recalls. “We found out that somehow the song had been exported to Europe through the record pools. It was No. 1 in Holland, top 10 in England, and it had come backwards, and the radio station in Miami had then played it because it was at the top of the charts in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Record execs wanted to de-Latinize them:<\/b> \u201cWhen we were already working on the song ‘Conga,’ we had to convince a record company to let us record in English. We had the material. We knew we could do it, so we’re pitching our idea and the execs that were there at the time, they’re going, ‘You can’t compete on a worldwide level. This is a one-shot deal with ‘Dr. Beat.’ It was a phenomenon but, if you really want to cross over, you got to get rid of the percussion. You got to get rid of the horns. You got to change your name.’ And Emilio and I are looking at him going, ‘Really? That’s who we are,’” she says.<\/p>\n
She knew MSM\u2019s sound would work:<\/b> “So, if that’s who we are, that’s who we want to be a success as, not water down our culture or our sound or our music just to try to be someone else.’ I go, ‘If I do that, and we’re a success, I’m not going to be happy the rest of my life. We know this going to work.’” <\/p>\n
Her instincts proved correct:<\/b> “‘Conga’ was the song that came through nationally for us in the States and, sure enough, it became one of our biggest-selling albums in history. We became a huge hit and put Miami, musically, on the map all over the world because our name was Miami Sound Machine,” she explains.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
[From People]<\/p>\n
Good for Gloria and Emilio for fighting to make their music the way they wanted to. I cannot imagine any of Miami Sound Machine\u2019s music not having the percussion or drums! It\u2019s what makes those songs timeless dance music. Weddings would be boring without that conga line! You know what they say: you can fight it every day but the rhythm is gonna get\u2019cha. GONG. I\u2019ll see myself out in just a minute.<\/p>\n
Going back to the psychic thing, I don\u2019t consider myself psychic at all but I do know exactly what she means when she says she just has that certainty about some things. I\u2019ve always just thought it came from having a heightened sense of intuition or being more in tune with\u2026whatever it is out there to be in tune with. I\u2019ve never visited a psychic or had a tarot reading or anything like that, so I don\u2019t know how all of that stuff works. I just completely understand what Gloria means when she says she gets feelings and just sometimes \u201cknows\u201d things. I hope she shares more of her of her psychic abilities in the future. I love hearing those types of stories.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
