Editorial Review:
Gloria pays tribute to her Cuban heritage with a collection of 14 newly recorded Spanish language songs celebrating the roots of Cuban music and Hispanic culture. The album also pays homage to the most influential and universally respected Latin musicians of the past 50 years including Cachao, Chocolate, Paquito D'Rivera, Sheila E, Jose Feliciano, Andy Garcia, Giovanni Hidalgo, Generoso Jiménez, Johnny Pacheco, Arturo Sandoval, Carlos Santana and more.. With original lyrics and music, this is the album Gloria was born to make.

2008-04-05 - I bought this for myself, but ended up giving it to my Venezuelan-born girlfriend. It's all in spanish and I don't speak. My fault. Music is good, but the language turned me off.
Angela (my girl) likes it!
I get accused of only reviewing..........
2008-03-14 - ....albums by gorgeous blondes. That isn't true, but here it would only be half-true; Gloria isn't blonde. This is an absolutely great album by a singer who proved her worth long ago; I don't know that she's ever sung a bad note.....
This album of what, to me, were unknown songs will appeal to two fan bases; [1] fans of Gloria [2] fans of Cuban music, of which we have plenty, as Cuba is only "90 Millas" away. It was a thoroughly enjoyable listening experience. If you can understand Spanish, you'll like it even better.
Gloria Estefan is a fabulous singer who, here, benefits from great back-up, and engineering. If you have any interest in Gloria, or this genre of music, don't miss it.
90 miles...so close, yet so far away... 
2008-03-14 - 90 millas, the newest Spanish-language offering from Gloria Estefan, refers to the distance between her ancestral homeland of Cuba and Miami, and is also an apt metaphor for her earlier Spanish-language work Mi Tierra, which was a straightforward retro tribute to Cuban son ballads of decades past. 90 millas, on the other hand, updates traditional Cuban mainstays such as spirited piano solos, call-and-response vocals, and Afro-Cuban rhythms with Santana riffs and guest appearances by Jose Feliciano, Israel Lopez, Johnny Pacheco and Paquito d'Rivera.
On the opening Me Odio, the sound flirts with brassy mariachi trumpets tempered by a languorous tempo. There are boleros and sons, and the folkish Pintame de Colores is drenched in a happy-go-lucky charango backing. Caridad features a punchy, bold salsa-inspired trumpet backing, with Cuban piano tripping merrily along. Refranes also has the ring of an old favorite, as does the cheery Esta fiesta no va a acabar. Morenita is a fiercely proud Afro-Cuban ballad with hints of tribal drums underscored by electric guitars.
The politically-charged Esperando (cuando Cuba sea libre) ("Waiting...for Cuba to be free") proves that Cuban-Americans are eyeing unfolding developments in post-Castro Cuba just as anxiously as Cubans themselves, waiting for the day when they may once more be reunited with loved ones on both sides of the aforementioned 90 miles. 90 millas offers something to appeal both to the older Cuban generation who grew up on son as well as the younger generation raised on hip-hop and Latin rock, and is a pleasing blend of the best of both.
