Cuban-born Gloria Estefan has been bringing the Latin sound to audiences around the world since the '70s with iconic hits like with iconic hits like “Words Get in the Way,” “Bad Boys” and “Can’t Stay Away From You." With album sales in the tens of millions, she is considered the world’s most successful Latin crossover artist, bringing an edgy yet heartfelt vibe that transcends cultures and language barriers. As she hits the stage in an explosion of cool, controlled energy, Estefan entrances ticket holders with her honey-smooth vocals, rhythm-infused tunes and inspiring lyrics. In 2013, Estefan embarked on a world tour to promote her album, The Standards, performing for sell-out concerts in venues that included London’s Royal Albert Hall.
A Cuban immigrant whose family fled the Castro regime, Estefan first hit the music scene during the 1970s as the lead singer for the Miami Sound Machine. In 1985, the group released its first Columbia album, Eyes of Innocence, which features the mega-hit “Dr. Beat” and the popular ballad “I Need Your Love.” The album made Estefan a star, and the band became more of a venue to showcase her sizzling hot vocals. By 1989, the group disbanded and Estefan became a fully established solo artist, capping her fame with singles such as “Anything for You” and “Get On Your Feet.” In 2013, Estefan celebrated her four decades in music with The Standards, an album of songs from the Great American Songbook. The album hit No. 20 on the Billboard Top 200 and continues to be a bestseller worldwide, as well as a fitting tribute to Estefan’s evergreen versatility.

Gloria Estefan's play on jazz standards were simply refreshing and enjoyable culminating into a finale of her vintage "Conga" with fireworks. Gloria ranks up there with the best cross-over performers of her time. We loved the show!
gloria estefan is and will always remain a true class act. beautiful inside out with an undeniable voice!
We all enjoyed the concert and it was great to see Andy Garcia on bongos.
Gloria Estefan was amazing. She came to the stage looking elegant and beautiful. Gloria was dynamic. She gave an outstanding performance. She sang a lot of the old popular songs and she presented new material. The new songs are remake songs from Frank Sinatra, Gloria gave a beautify touch.
I saw Gloria decades ago when she was with the Miami Sound Machine. She was so cute and a ball of fire! She is still adorable and talented! I love her singing style of the standards. She has added her Latin sound to a few of them which makes for a very romantic and sexy atmosphere. And I cannot sit still when she sings her classic Miami Sound Machine songs!! Thank you, Gloria, for giving me such a special gift, a memorable night with you at the Hollywood Bowl!!!
Well-balanced program of old hits and Pop music, well-conducted by Jim Wilkins. Estafan revealed just enough personal insights (husband, daughter) to be very appealing.
Great night seeing Gloria Estefan in concert! Longtime fan visiting LA from New York.
I love Gloria Estefan's upbeat songs from the 80's and 90's. When I heard from the Radio/ TV that she was going to be at he Hollywood Bowl "with" The Miami Sound Machine, I knew this was going to be "The Concert"... or so I thought. Also, knowing the Hollywood Bowl, I thought to myself, she will come up and sing her new slow CD in the first part of the concert then for the 2nd part she will bring the Miami Sound Machine (as said in the advertisement) and the party songs will turn up. But I was very disappointed and mad at the end of the concert as she only sang 2 upbeat songs (Rhythm is Going To Get You and Conga). The last song of Conga with the fireworks was beautiful but did not compensate for the rest of the boring concert and I left feeling that I have wasted $150.00 in tickets, $50.00 in food & $18.00 parking for a concert that is in my book, The Worst Concert of My Life.
The best concert we have seen in years. Lots of action and interplay with the audience. The involvement of the youth band was great. The Big Bang with the firework was truly a great and very memorable finish to the evening.
