Nurith NupurGloria Estefan
Gloria Estefan was bringing her own brand of Latin charms and tunes long before “Latin Explosion” of the late 1990s. Being the lead singer of the band with her husband where he was the keyboard player. Music was the only release for young Gloria when her family fell on hard times and she had to take of her younger siblings, leaving little to no time for a social life as result of it. With a story as if straight out of a fanfiction, Gloria and her husband fell in love when they performed as a band together. Their band, Miami Sound Machine, introduced the Latin fever to the masses and quickly popularised them to the top. Being a woman of color, she became an icon to many young girls through the 1980s and 1990s. Her simple advice for them was, “A woman’s exterior beauty is a reflection of her internal peace and happiness.”
