Amazon.com essential recording
Cuban American singer Gloria Estefan was a mainstream pop balladeer and dance music queen who happened to be Latina before taking a surprising turn in Mi Tierra and reclaiming her roots. Singing in Spanish, impeccably produced and backed by a superb ensemble that includes 79-year-old maestro Israel Lopez "Cachao" on bass (he is only the creator of mambo itself), arranger Juanito Marquez, and singer and percussionst Luis Enrique, Estefan delivers worthy reinterpretations and updates of traditional Afro-Cuban styles. It might be too smooth for traditionalists--who may also object to Estefan's delivery, not that of classic sonera--but as an introduction to the music, it is engaging and the playing of the ensemble is true and impeccable. --Fernando Gonzalez

 Yes, it's in Spanish but it's not Cuban Music April 5, 2009
Cuban Music Fan (London)

I'm amazed at the number of people who have left comments that this rather soft, middle-of-the-road piece of American pop music is somehow Cuban music. Yes, it's sung in Spanish - and Ms. Estafan's family came from Cuba - but where's the meat? Which Cuban CD sounds anything like this stuff?
Having been a pop singer for many years, Gloria suddenly discovered her Cuban family roots and her parents anti-Castro-ism. I guess it would be too cynical to say if you buy into the American dream, leave your homeland and become an American then there's a musical price to pay....and this rather tepid CD is a testament to that.
 FANTASTICO!!! December 11, 2008
R. Baker (Southern Cal)
I believe this is the absolute best work Gloria Estefan has ever done. If I could only have one of her records, this would be my choice!

El mejor December 23, 2007
Sonero Catalán (Spain)
"Mi Tierra" es sin género de dudas el mejor album latino de Gloria, ni siquiera superado por "90 Millas".
Todas las canciones podrían ser la cara A de un single ... Mi tierra, Hablemos el mismo idioma, ...
Es un gran homenaje a sus raíces cubanas que tanto añora.
Indispensable en cualquier salsoteca
What a stunning album October 26, 2007
S. Lutz
I always considered Estefan a talented but too pop-oriented for my taste. But this collection of Cuban songs sung in Spanish was a revelation. Absolutely brilliant recording!
