Gloria's latest Spanish-language disc "Alma Caribeña" perhaps can be best described as an splendid fusion of Caribbean beats powered by some of the most passionate vocal performances yet from a global superstar who pioneered the mix of Cuban rhythms from the Caribbean with other grooves from South America - and North America.

Emilio credits Robert Blades, who co-wrote seven tracks on the album, for guiding Gloria's powerhouse vocal performances. "There is heavy drama in this album, vocally, " declares Gloria, who has won two Grammy Awards in Latin music categories. "I think I've been a lot more - in Spanish they would call it - "atrevida," which means "bold" in the way I've approached the singing on this album. I think definitely that comes from growing up in a Cuban household. A lot of the boleros, the songs that I grew up listening to, strongly …
