@jerquake943 what are you talking about? Do you assume everything? What's with the millennial stuff. Are you discriminating against age? What is your point? You are so stupid that's not drums.
Sorry if a repeated anecdote but young woman who in retrospect looked very like her on QM2 few years ago, cant remember which as was spending inheritance on a few. Almost fell over her bag leaving bar table, but 2019 trip thought dinner guests - not her this time - might be planning a beheading.
I always respected Gloria Estefan because her mother wanted her to go to college, but she wanted to be a singer. Our of respect for her mother, Gloria went to college, graduated and got a degree. Then she handed the degree to her mother and said, "That's for you, mother!" And then she went and did what she wanted, became a pop star.
You know Emilio Estefan, the guy with Gloria at the beginning was the producer/band leader of the MSM. He later went on to produce alot of other artists including Shakira.
I was 10 years old, when this song came out. Our dance instructor created a routine for one of our competition teams. Every time it plays on the radio, the memories of this dance number come back to me. Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine had several Billboard Top 10 hits in the 80s and 90s, and is an icon of their time. In all fairness, Gloria her husband, and son were involved in a near-fatal bus accident that collided with a tractor trailer on March 20, 1990 near the Poconos Mountains in Pennsylvania. Her son had a broken shoulder bone, husband had minor head a hand injuries, while she had a broken vertebra in her back. She underwent a four-hour surgery to repair her spinal alignment with steel rods. Her prognosis for a full recovery was doubtful, so she retired. However, with extensive physical therapy, she made a miraculous recovery, and returned to the music scene in January 1991. In March, she launched a year-long tour to highlight her comeback. Since then, she's had numerous hit albums, a Broadway show, and was awarded the President Medal of Freedom for profound contributions to music and the Latin American culture in 2017. Her life story is quite interesting. I encourage people of the younger generations to read her biography. Many artists and others believe that it is inspirational.
She is one of my biggest inspirations of all time. I read this article when she spoke about going through physical therapy for her back and how she never gave up. She said something along the lines of, “Today, I’m going to walk five feet. Tomorrow, 10 feet, the next day 15, and so on and so forth.” She never gave up from her injuries and she was told she’d never be able to have more children after the bus crash. She proved doctors wrong by giving birth to a healthy baby girl in 1994, who has followed in her footsteps and is a singer herself now.
👍 this was one of the most iconic bands of the 80's. For us European youngsters an introduction to latin music. Always wanted to understand Spanish because of Gloria Estefan.😅🤩 Now I am 47 and still fan.
I'm pretty sure it's literally involuntary. I'm actively trying not to right now and it's just not working! Edit: GUYS, I THINK I'M STUCK LIKE THIS. I'M GETTING KINDA SCARED PLZ HELP
Remember seeing Miami Sound Machine in the early 80’s, as a teenager, in Ybor City. It was a free concert and maybe 200 to 300 people showed up for it. Remember they were just starting to take off, so they needed to get their music known out there. Gloria (man, she was so short, tiny but wonderful person) and Emilio took a photo with my mom and me. We had gotten to talk with them for a few short minutes before they had to sign some other autographs and then depart for another Florida city, to perform at the next day. Never forgot that time they were a struggling band and saw them many times later too. Still have the photo, in one of my memory books... I will have to find and post it one day.
@nightsky some people just don’t want people to enjoy themselves and spread joy online, those are the same people whose friends all secretly hate, the same with co workers. Those are the same people that won’t be remembered by their family at their funeral, and those are the same people as you. So please stop being this way and just maybe you won’t be such a terrible person 🙂
I was so hoping she would've came out. I kept thinking Sharika, JLo AND Gloria...3 very popular female latino artist on stage performing this together would've been AWESOME!! They really missed an opportunity there.
I was telling everybody at work she (Gloria) was gonna be the half time surprise...they really missed a grand opportunity to pay tribute to Miami and its Latin roots!!!!
Love that Latin rhythm ! Some of the 80's greatest music. Used to dance the nights away to Gloria and the sound machine. Thank for all the great times.
This is what happens when you put a talented singer with talented musicians. You get the very best music that defines a generation, that never goes out of style
I was just thinking how this song could hang with those of the last decade and come out rosy. It's almost a shock to see the heavy 80s outfits on display here to think that it really came out so long ago.
It's so true. Have you ever seen that episode of Futurama where Bender asks what it would be like if he was a human? He wants to get the stereotypical "human experience", so he does things like smoking a cigar (he did that before too, but it wasn't bad for him), eating nachos, and going dancing. He feels an uncontrollable urge to move in his hips that he had never experienced before when this song (Conga) is played. I feel like that sums her up pretty well: even if you had never heard of dancing in your entire life, Gloria Estefan would somehow *_still_* make you feel the urge to get up and dance. I went a long way for that one, hopefully that made at least some sense lol
Miami Sound Machine! I was in La Florida, on and off for a tme and never got a chance to visit Miami. Everytime I hear this and "The Rhythm is Gonna get you," I think of the movie "The Birdcage" and South Beach and Miami pictures. Conga and bongos and some trumpet. Too bad they didn't get Ramon Flores, To play on this track.
@@safrenrecords WHAAAAT?!?!? Electro-Pop didn't exist in 1985?!?!? LIsten to me little BOY, go on and learn a few things, and then come back here and try to make some comments! 'Cause explaining to you, when was the time when Alphaville, Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, SAndra, Yazoo, Eurythmics and all the other existed, would be an exercise in futility and stupidity!
A lot of people heard this song back in the days it was popular along with their other song the Rhythm gonna get you. The young generation don't know nothing about this
I have tremendous levels of respect for Gloria Estefan because she paved the way for the Latin explosion of the music scene in the mid to late 90's as that is when Selena, Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin and Shakira became popular with English language audiences.
I listen to more country music than anything, but this Gloria Estefan classic from the 80's is one of my favorites. I was a young teenage girl when this song was on the charts back in the summer of 1985, just 16 - almost 17 years old. It's one of those songs that makes you smile whenever you hear it.
I grew up jammin' to this in the 80's... and the real reason why i'm jammin' to this now is because of my favorite Disney ride of all time, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY! This song makes the ride soooo HYPE!
This song is so nostalgic for me. I was a Lil girl when this came out. I remember on a warm summer night my father would have the patio door open while making daiquiris and have this playing on the record player. I am definitely telling my age. This song brings and automatic smile to my face and I immediately break out into full on salsa dancing. Good music never dies.
@@spkanava 👍🎉 WOOHOO !! I luv the 80's and I was born in 69 Gen X and I used to luv listening to Bryan Adams ..." Was the Summer of 69 " song !! Think I'll have to play it now , lol !! 👍😁😄
Omg!!! This song has so much electricity!! From the moment the beat drops it feels like your body gets filled with fire and the only way you can extinguish it is to get up and dance. Otherwise if you keep sitting you'll burn up!!!
My daughter sent me a tik tok, I’m like...yep, my mom did aerobics to this in the 80’s??? I’m so old...I didn’t realize I just got “new” Rick Rolled...
Met the sound machine in a new Orleans elevator back in '89, ......makes you yearn for better times, everyone living and loving together as one people. Mad LOVE!!!
Used to wake up to this music when I was a kid, my mom played it on full volume on her obnoxiously loud stereo system at 6 in the morning. Heard it all the way from the 2nd floor. Good times.
This is definitely a more fun, upbeat version of the 1980s. We got some great artistic media out of the 80s (movie, music, Broadway, etc), but it wasn't always a party. While it's fun to reminisce, and ponder "What if?", many seem to overlook the not so glamorous aspects of the decade.
I lived through the 80s. Computers and video games were new and cool, not attached to devices, folks did too much cocaine, and used entirely too much aqua net hairspray
@@cannibalisticrequiem War on drugs, AIDS, homophobia, cocaine, crack babies, Apartheid, serious famines, world hunger, those commercials of very emaciated children, there was a lot of not so pretty parts of the 1980's.
Dearest Gloria!! To a beautiful and talented woman who is an inspiration to us all. I've been listening to your music for over 30 years!! Your music transcends time. Sending you and our family all my love!!
La alegría de vivir transformada en música. Miami Sound Machine con la voz de Gloria Estefan llevaron la música latina a otro nivel, no solo entre los latinoamericanos residentes en Estados Unidos, si no también entre los propios "gringos" que los reconocen, admiran y respetan. 😘
We have a lot of Salsa Events down here in Düsseldorf, Germany. Today there was the first night when "Conga" was played and we have so much fun on the dancefloor. It was quiet fast, but we loved it and it worked well. I know this song from the ninetees but today it was the first time I really could dance it. Thank you so much Gloria...
@@omarnaranjo-h1p Sorry, that i can´t answer in spanish If you see the Salsa/Bachata Open Air Events in my Hometown (Düsseldorf) over the summer, you won´t believe that you are in Germany. Every weekend (if it´s not raining) there are some social dance events along the river Rhein. Every Wednesday there is a big Salsa party in the "Tanzhaus NRW" (it´s a dancing Academy). If you have the chance to come here to Düsseldorf, feel free to contact me and I´ll show you the best places.... Greetings to Colmbia
This song is 38 years old. It still feels like pure energy. Now, if we could figure out how to harvest it... wouldn't that be grand? But that would be like trying to catch the lightning.
Thank GOD I was raised around great Music. I can still remember the neighborhood parties. When the Miami Sound Machine was playing everyone was dancing. Take care everyone.
2020: I'm gonna break you Conga: Hold my beer 2020 walks away defeated! Let the music fill you and sweep away everything bad. Just let the rhythm take control. Amen
Last year they played this at my cousins' wedding and we all did a conga line. I was laughing because it reminded me of my aunt, since she used to have this song on a cassette tape when I was a little kid and we'd all dance. Now every time I hear it, I laugh and think back to those days.
@@aspenrebel lol I'm trying to figure out exactly what your problem is with the comment. The OP was sharing a memory from their childhood, but you have a problem with it because...? Well it *seems* like you want to get on the OP's case for making up the whole story, but you can't do that because you begrudgingly admit that the bit of the memory you find fault with, actually checks out on your imaginary list of facts. So what exactly is your issue? Or are you just trying to get a random stranger on the internet in some weird gotcha thing where you prove to yourself that... everyone younger than you don't know what they're talking about and will blatantly lie online simply to get your worthless approval because they're inherently inferior to you for not being born in the same generation as you?
wow, what beautiful memories this music brings me, I was in the Paraguayan army serving physical punishment (100 push ups) around the year 85 when I heard this music for the first time and instantly loved it, even without understanding anything it said.
+Phillip John Buettner Jr Meh, I don't know. I was thinking of the good music from the 80's, came here and my rose colored glasses shattered. Not nearly as good as I remembered. The 80's is widely remembered as the worst decade for music for a reason. 3 Justin Beibers/10

Can we please go back to the 80’s
Gloria & The Sound Machine ...still listen'n & watch'n Aug 2019 !
Sigo escuchando la conga en 2019, para mí está música nunca pasa de moda
Completamente de acuerdo contigo.
1985
80's, 90's, and now... Gloria is eternal.
I was given a vinyl single of this song for my first birthday. Still the classiest gift I've ever gotten. Mom set the bar high.
¡¡Una GENIA mamá!!!!🤗
this song could use it for a drifting session :) looking a Skyline and a supra drifting along to the Rhythm of this song
?
@@peggypeters6676 A vinyl single is a small record that plays only one or two songs on each side.

This song make we wanna go back in time to see how the 80s feels like.
Dubb G. let me know if you’re going, I’m coming with you 😂
This is definitely a more fun, upbeat version of the 1980s. We got some great artistic media out of the 80s (movie, music, Broadway, etc), but it wasn't always a party. While it's fun to reminisce, and ponder "What if?", many seem to overlook the not so glamorous aspects of the decade.
It was A LOT of cocaine
I lived through the 80s. Computers and video games were new and cool, not attached to devices, folks did too much cocaine, and used entirely too much aqua net hairspray
@@cannibalisticrequiem War on drugs, AIDS, homophobia, cocaine, crack babies, Apartheid, serious famines, world hunger, those commercials of very emaciated children, there was a lot of not so pretty parts of the 1980's.
The original Latina sensation
Dearest Gloria!! To a beautiful and talented woman who is an inspiration to us all. I've been listening to your music for over 30 years!! Your music transcends time. Sending you and our family all my love!!
Man, music like this was always fun to hear on the radio growing up. Great band and great song!
Who in 2025? 😮
Hard to believe this song is 40 years old. Or within spitting distance of it.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉... Me, from Cuba!!! 🎵🎵🎵
Y desde ESPAÑAAA
ESPAÑAAA
Arriba mi gente de Cuba from a 🇵🇷 I would still break dance to this if I could 👏🏼
Impossível resistir a Conga e Gloria Estefan! Diva!! 💃🏻👏🙌🥰🤩
Siii irresistible !!!!!
1985
Thank you Matt Groening for playing this song so often on the episodes
La alegría de vivir transformada en música. Miami Sound Machine con la voz de Gloria Estefan llevaron la música latina a otro nivel, no solo entre los latinoamericanos residentes en Estados Unidos, si no también entre los propios "gringos" que los reconocen, admiran y respetan. 😘
Meravigliosa 😍
Y el idioma latino...?
1984
If Miami had an official song, this would be it.
If Florida has an official song, this would be it lol.
We have a lot of Salsa Events down here in Düsseldorf, Germany. Today there was the first night when "Conga" was played and we have so much fun on the dancefloor. It was quiet fast, but we loved it and it worked well. I know this song from the ninetees but today it was the first time I really could dance it. Thank you so much Gloria...
Que hermoso que disfrutes de la salsa!!saludos desde Colombia 😊

@@omarnaranjo-h1p Sorry, that i can´t answer in spanish If you see the Salsa/Bachata Open Air Events in my Hometown (Düsseldorf) over the summer, you won´t believe that you are in Germany. Every weekend (if it´s not raining) there are some social dance events along the river Rhein. Every Wednesday there is a big Salsa party in the "Tanzhaus NRW" (it´s a dancing Academy). If you have the chance to come here to Düsseldorf, feel free to contact me and I´ll show you the best places.... Greetings to Colmbia
Der ultimative beste Mix aller Zeiten... Habe ihn auf Vinyl und warte auf eine CD-ausgabe dieser Version ... Grace at her best ... Love it ever

This song is 38 years old.
It still feels like pure energy. Now, if we could figure out how to harvest it... wouldn't that be grand? But that would be like trying to catch the lightning.
How are you
1984
The 80s were a really great decade for music. I wish I had lived them.
Only Great?... You have NO idea..... There's Not enough words to describe it.
yes it was, great music, much more togetherness between people and the best of it: no stupid smartphones!
@@elcocolio 👏👏👏👌👌👌
@@lionheart3214 Well... If you put it that way... It gets close.

Thank GOD I was raised around great Music. I can still remember the neighborhood parties. When the Miami Sound Machine was playing everyone was dancing. Take care everyone.
2020: I'm gonna break you
Conga: Hold my beer
2020 walks away defeated!
Let the music fill you and sweep away everything bad.
Just let the rhythm take control.
Amen

Still banging, after so many years.
The is just hilarious.. the best intro ever! This would be a great alarm clock ring tone.
I love Miami Sound machine and Gloria Estefan.
Omg now I'm going to put this as my alarm
I have always found this extremely exciting both during in the 80's & now.
Last year they played this at my cousins' wedding and we all did a conga line. I was laughing because it reminded me of my aunt, since she used to have this song on a cassette tape when I was a little kid and we'd all dance. Now every time I hear it, I laugh and think back to those days.
cassette tape? They wre still around in 1985. At least you didn't say 8 Track or Reel to Reel.
@@aspenrebel lol I'm trying to figure out exactly what your problem is with the comment. The OP was sharing a memory from their childhood, but you have a problem with it because...? Well it *seems* like you want to get on the OP's case for making up the whole story, but you can't do that because you begrudgingly admit that the bit of the memory you find fault with, actually checks out on your imaginary list of facts.
So what exactly is your issue? Or are you just trying to get a random stranger on the internet in some weird gotcha thing where you prove to yourself that... everyone younger than you don't know what they're talking about and will blatantly lie online simply to get your worthless approval because they're inherently inferior to you for not being born in the same generation as you?
@@cannibalisticrequiem what did you do, write a freakin' book?
I did a conga line with this song at Macy’s-
@@aspenrebel 8 tracks still exist...
im STILL in love with Gloria Estefan
wow, what beautiful memories this music brings me, I was in the Paraguayan army serving physical punishment (100 push ups) around the year 85 when I heard this music for the first time and instantly loved it, even without understanding anything it said.
I grew up with this song and could never find it, but todays the day😲
I feel like it's a song you enjoy on the beach, on the radio. You know, after hearing so bad news, pandemics, violence, etc. etc.
Far Cry 6 ?
Far cry 6 Lmao
I feel like it's a song you can enjoy while eating nachos and going to the bathroom at the same time
Disculpame Clara

Ikr!
It used to be Way better.
+Phillip John Buettner Jr Meh, I don't know. I was thinking of the good music from the 80's, came here and my rose colored glasses shattered. Not nearly as good as I remembered. The 80's is widely remembered as the worst decade for music for a reason. 3 Justin Beibers/10

I love the 80s,
and especially there music!
I don't agree.

Love you 😄😄👍👍👏👏👏👏
Me encanta, siempre moviendo nos con su voz y sazón musical. Siempre serás única
Nos hizo pasar momentos inolvidables, con su música cantada con el corazón.
Gracias, Gloria Stefan te recordaré y te escucharé
siempre. Saludos 🥰🇪🇸
13 años tenía cuando escuches esta banda con esta canción, mi madre como pasa el tiempo.
Cuando yo era chiquita mi hermano la cantaba asi: "corre coñoemadre que te tiran bomba, fuma marihuana pero no te escondas"... jajajajaja
