How Gloria Estefan Crossed Latin Music Boundaries On Her Second Spanish-Language Album, 'Abriendo Puertas'

Facebook Twitter Email
25 years after its release, GRAMMY.com looks back on Estefan's sixth studio album, which in English translates to "Opening Doors"
Jon O'Brien
GRAMMYs
Sep 25, 2020 - 9:31 am

Once considered a left field move, predominantly English-language hitmakers recording material in Spanish is now very much a norm. Jennifer Lopez, Nelly Furtado and Pitbull have all released full-length albums paying tribute to their Latin American heritage, while more recently Justin Bieber’s collaboration with Luis Fonsi inspired almost every one of his peers to dig deep into their phrasebooks.

Back in the mid-1990s, however, the idea of a three-time US Hot 100 chart-topper singing an entire album in a different tongue was considered a momentum-killing career choice. Yet Gloria Estefan’s Mi Tierra ended up spending a still-record-breaking 58 weeks at the Billboard Top Latin Albums number one spot, won the Best Tropical Latin Album GRAMMY and shifted more than 1.2 million domestic copies to become the U.S.’s sixth biggest-selling Latin record of all time.

Little surprise, therefore, that Estefan didn’t waste much time returning to such triumphant territory. Only the English-language Christmas Through Your Eyes and covers album Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me stood in between Mi Tierra and 1995’s Abriendo Puertas (translated as Opening Doors), an even more curious Latin affair which explored far beyond the boleros and danzóns of her Cuban beginnings.

The seeds for Estefan's sixth solo effort were sown a year earlier when her other half, Emilio, discovered the talents of Kike Santander, a former jingle writer who’d just worked with Venezuelan icon José Luis Rodríguez, a.k.a. "El Puma." Santander was subsequently tasked with penning all 10 tracks on Abriendo Puertas, an entirely different approach from the highly collaborative nature of its Latin predecessor which roped in the likes of mambo pioneer Cachao and regular Estefan cohort Jon Secada.

A proud Colombian, Santander used this opportunity to showcase the sounds of his homeland in front of an audience bigger than ever before: at this stage, Shakira, another Emilio protégé, was still very much a local concern.

One of several ventures into the traditional Colombian folk music known as vallenato, the opening title track immediately set the tone ahead. Like much of the album, Emilio’s jaunty accordion riffs blend effortlessly with Edwin Bonilla's primitive yet potent percussion on a carnival-friendly alternative to "Auld Lang Syne."

Yes, although Abriendo Puertas sounds tailor-made for a backyard barbecue in the height of July, it's essentially Estefan's second dedication to the Christmas holidays, albeit one more focused on the end than the beginning. "I tell you from my heart/That the New Year will be better," she promises on the eponymous number.

A similar sense of optimism runs throughout. On "Tres Deseos," Estefan delivers platitudes such as "May dreams come true/A future of prosperity/May a better world flourish/May there be peace in the heart." And on the joyous party anthem of "La Parranda," she toasts to both the "New Year and the New Year that left."

Of course, as with Mi Tierra, the majority of Abriendo Puertas’ buyers are unlikely to have understood a word of Estefan's well wishes. Only the distant sound of church bells on "Más Allá"—the flamenco-tinged ballad she performed during her historic audience with Pope John Paul II—offers any kind of musical nod to the yuletide season.

But no matter what the occasion, the album’s continually sunny disposition and authentic instrumentation instantly conjures up visions of Latin America’s lush green landscapes, and not just those in Santander’s homeland, either.

Although its danceable beats are steeped in the traditional Colombian style of currulao, album highlight "Farolito" also makes use of the Paraguayan harp. The irresistible "Nuevo Dia," meanwhile, throws in a little of the Cuban salsa flavor that permeated Miami Sound Machine's pre-crossover work. And Estefan’s producer husband cleverly interweaves elements of the Dominican merengue, Peruvian cumbia and rhythms originating from Panama, Mexico and Puerto Rico throughout.

Of course, Estefan’s mainstream output had often took inspiration from various parts of Latin America. See the bilingual samba of "Oye Mi Canto (Hear My Voice)" or the tribal Afro-Cuban percussion of "Conga" and "Rhythm’s Gonna Get You," for example. But Abriendo Puertas was the first time that she’d committed to the idea of a Latino hybrid entirely free from any Americanized influences whatsoever. Sure, its roots may lie in Colombia, but the album has no qualms about crossing geographical barriers to celebrate the rich history of Latin music as a whole.

This sense of adventure impressed the majority of critics, too, with the Chicago Tribune declaring, "It is wholly unlike anything she—or anyone else—has done before" and The New York Times describing the record as "a set of well-made, drivingly danceable music that for all its synthesis never seems like exoticism." A second Best Tropical Latin Album GRAMMY would also follow a year later.

Abriendo Puertas is undoubtedly the most ambitious of Estefan’s Latin fare—as its title suggests 2000's Alma Caribeña focused on Caribbean soul, while 2007’s 90 Millas was another love letter to her native Cuba. And yet it’s possibly the most forgotten, too. It could only peak at No.67 in the fall of 1995 and was the first Estefan album not to reach platinum status.

Furthermore, the Estefans’ relationship with the man responsible for the album’s boundary-breaking style soured significantly at the turn of the century. Santander, who also contributed to 1996 follow-up Destiny and 1998’s club-focused Gloria!, sued Emilio over a dispute about his contract and payment terms, and even accused him of taking unearned production credits before later dropping the case. 

Nevertheless, Estefan appears to remain proud of their first collaborative effort. 2020’s Brazil305, in which she gives 18 of her own songs a samba makeover, features two Abriendo Puertas numbers (“Más Allá” and the title track). The latter also became a staple of her live shows, while “Tres Deseos” was given a new lease of life on stage thanks to a mash-up with Destiny cut “Higher.”

And with contemporary acts such as Paloma Mami, Anitta and Rosalía – the latter cited by Estefan as one of her modern-day favorites – now further bridging Latin American divides, Abriendo Puertas’ door-opening intentions appear to have paid off.

Dec 14, 2018 - 4:15 pm

On Dec. 14, the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation  announced that the winners of multiple GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY awards, Emilio and Gloria Estefan have launched the Emilio and Gloria Estefan Scholarship for $200,000 to help underwrite a Latin music student's four-year bachelor's degree at Berklee College of Music.

"It is a pleasure to support and help a student attend one of the most prestigious and celebrated universities in the world, Berklee College of Music," said Emilio Estefan.

The Estefans' amazing life together has been such a testimony to music that it is even the subject of its own Tony Award-nominated musical, On Your Feet. They have each been honored as the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year. Emilio was the very first, in 2000, followed by Gloria Estefan in 2008.

Their daughter, recording artist Emily Estefan is herself a Berklee graduate. "I always had the ability to pick up an instrument and play and explore my artistry," she said at a recent Recording Academy Florida Chapter event. "So many kids don't have the opportunity to do that."

"It is a privilege for us to have the support of music icons Emilio and Gloria Estefan," said Manolo Díaz, Sr. Vice President of the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. "Through their leadership and support we hope to — not only change the life of an aspiring talent — but also inspire others to pursue the many careers available in music while inviting people to join our cause through donations."

The deadline for applications to be submitted is April 10, 2019 with details at the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation website. Submissions may be in English, Spanish or Portuguese and require two audition videos, two recommendation letters and answers to two essay questions. All applications are carefully evaluated by the Foundation's Scholarship Committee.

This is the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation's fifth co-sponsored Prodigy Scholarship in a program begun by Enrique Iglesias in 2015. Subsequent artists generously participating have been Juan Luis Guerra, Miguel Bosé and Carlos Vives — and now the incomparable Emilio and Gloria Estefan as well.

"Twenty years ago we were part of the founding committee that launched the Latin GRAMMYs," said Emilio Estefan. "It is such a satisfying honor to be a part of this organization as benefactors that will make reality the dream of one student with interest in Latin music."

Charitable commitments by the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation total $4 million to date, supporting 200 scholarships, donations of musical instruments and Latin music educational events.

Just days away from her Latin GRAMMY debut, the Argentine singer talks to GRAMMY.com about her eclectic album, establishing her sound and more

Nathy Peluso is days away from making her Latin GRAMMY debut, and, understandably, she's excited. On stage, the Argentine singer-songwriter is a jolt of energy—her dance moves and improvised body movements could be a show of their own.

On a Zoom call from her home in Argentina, Peluso, dressed in loungewear, unveils a relaxed demeanor. At the heels of her first performance at the 2020 Latin GRAMMYs, where she is set to share the stage with Argentine icon Fito Paez and is also nominated for the first time—she's up for the Best New Artist and Best Alternative Song categories—she is eager, even if circumstances will be different. This year, due to COVID-19, the Latin GRAMMYs will not return to their usual broadcast home, Las Vegas, and will instead be based in Miami with performances based all over the world. 

"It is something that I did not expect at all. It is an experience that I want to take care of and that I want to pamper with my heart because I know that it will be something to remember," she says. 

The singer, who moved to Spain as a child and went on to study physical theatre, has placed that same kind of thoughtful care into her first full-length album, Calambre, meaning electric shock. On it, Peluso, a fan of Dr. Dre, Missy Elliott, Earth, Wind & Fire, jazz, and bossa nova, among other genres, shows a dislike for genre boxes; The album features salsa, R&B, hip-hop and classic Argentine pop sounds. The singer researched every genre she featured to make them "sound organic and genuine," she says. If she's going to take on a genre, she has to do it right, she feels. 

But Peluso makes it clear—she does not define her music, she lets the music define her. She talks with GRAMMY.com more on how she lets the music speak for itself, growing up an immigrant in Spain, her debut album, being nominated for a Latin GRAMMY for the first time, and her performance at the show. 

First of all, congrats on your nomination. Where were you when you got the news?

I was out. They called me on the phone and it took me by surprise. I started running around on the street. I called my mom. I did not expect it, really. It was like a very unexpected call for me. I wasn't waiting to see if they would tell me something, I did not expect it at all.

Was your mom the first person you called? What did you tell her?

Yes. I thought she would be very excited. I told her the news. I said, "Mami, mami, I'm nominated for a Latin GRAMMY." And she said, "Wow. Nathy, that doesn't surprise me, because you deserve it." She said very nice things. It was an exciting moment.

You’re nominated for Best New Artist. That’s big. What does the nomination mean to you?

For me, it means [a lot coming] from the music industry, from the academy, from my peers. Like very important inspiration for me to push forward and continue to represent Latin music with a lot of love. For me, it gives me a sense of pride and honor to be able to be there representing so many musicians, our culture, our music. It’s incredible.

What was the process like creating your debut album Calambre?

It was a very organic process. Songs started coming out melodies I was recording and I was sketching them out until I figured out how to evolve all of them. I knew I wanted it to be called Calambre from the beginning because I came onto a very inspiring, energetic point. It was interesting because it was very powerful learning that I did professionally and personally. I learned a lot and had to face several new situations, I worked with artists and musicians that I admired a lot. It was artisanal work because there was deep research around each musical genre in which I embarked in on the album because there are many. It was a very delicate and interesting process that I came out of very enriched.

What did you do to learn more about each genre?

The truth is, I embarked on research that also included finding the people who represent the genre, arrangers, musicians, or producers, to also give credibility to that sound from someone who has a lot of experience working on it. The wind arrangements or the salsa arrangements, for example in “Puro Veneno.” If I was going to do a salsa track, I wanted to do it for real. The whole band behind it, the arrangers, the choristers, all are from Puerto Rico. The song is played live in Puerto Rico. That was a learning experience, getting information about the roots of each genre and also being able to do the artisanal work which can be challenging because the truth is, I felt it as a challenge to do all those genres that are not normally heard in Spanish, like hip-hop or the neo-soul or certain ballads. Making them sound organic and genuine in Spanish, in Castilian, that was a task I learned a lot from as well.

You've talked a lot about your love for different genres. You wanted your debut to be something that really shows who Nathy Peluso is?

With Calambre, it was no more than just intention. My intention was not to do something homogeneous, to represent me as only me and my persona because, really, I organically improvise my persona. The music is what guides and represents me, I don’t represent it. I found it interesting letting myself go through music, and then have that represent me as Nathy Peluso and my sound.

I was never afraid of it not sounding homogeneous between all the songs or how can I make people know me with this album? No, I just flowed, I did everything I felt I had to do musically speaking. I wrote all the lyrics with what I felt I had to write them, regardless of respecting a rule or something, I just wanted to flow.

In the root of that as well, I let go, I trusted, I put confidence in the music and in my fans so that it accommodates and settles as it has to settle. The search was not so much as towards my ego or towards my persona, but towards making good music that represents music, that pays respect and worships music and I contributed a grain of sand so that many people enjoy musical quality.

You’re an animated performer. You studied physical theatre. Do your studies influence you as a performer?

Yes, without a doubt. I believe everything we learn throughout life influences us, be it in our studies or in life experiences. It’s obvious, it makes me a better version of myself because it is something I learned and it helps me access —obviously, we can all get to that point, but certain doors have to be unlocked, certain doors [have to] open to access all that. Above all, to me, to my career, it taught me the incalculable power of improvisation and the power of movement, of body expression, of what we can say at the root of a persona; It nurtured me a lot and gave me tools to be able to defend certain things on stage.

You were born in Argentina, but as a child, you moved to Spain with your family, how did that affect you musically?

I do not know. I feel that I got to know many cultures. Being an immigrant, I linked up with many [other] immigrants who brought me closer to salsa, for example, Colombians. Many Colombian friends taught me to dance salsa. I had the opportunity to be in a Cuban choir for many years, learning from Cubans. Then my schooling was at Alicia Alonso's high school, who was a well-known Cuban dancer, and all my teachers were Cuban too. It gave me the rare opportunity, because I was in Spain, to connect with a deeply rooted Latin world because the people who had left their [countries, had] roots and had to promote them elsewhere. I learned a lot about the Latin culture and it made me look for a great friend, a great partner in music. Perhaps for a girl emigrating, it is something a bit difficult. Having music always accompanying me made me like having a faithful friend who never left me.

In the album you have a song dedicated to Buenos Aires, was it important for you to include the song honoring your homeland?

Yes, the truth is that it was a name that came up after making the song. It was not on purpose, but it sounded so much to me like the city, it sounded so much like the sound of nostalgia that it reminds me of my roots, that I decided to give it this name. Because I felt that many people, by closing their eyes and listening to that song, could travel wherever they wanted, because the sound is like a time machine, like the sound of beautiful nostalgia, the sound of feeling part of something. Obviously for me, when I closed my eyes, I listened to my city, it was something special, a special ritual.

You’ll appear at the Latin GRAMMY Awards, and I know they’ll be different because of COVID-19, but is there something your most excited about?

I am very excited because I am going to perform. It is something that I did not expect at all. It is an experience that I want to take care of and that I want to pamper with my heart because I know that it will be something to remember. It is my first time performing at the Latin GRAMMYs and it is such an immense opportunity that I am very grateful and very eager for.

What can you tell us about your performance?

They won’t let me, I can only say that I am preparing it with a lot of love and that I promise to do my best.

The 2020 Latin GRAMMYs will air on Univision on Thursday, Nov. 19, at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. CT). The broadcast will also air on TNT (cable) at 7 p.m. (MEX)/8 p.m. (COL)/10 p.m. (ARG/CHI), and on Televisa on Channel 5.
