3 percussionists layin' down that Cuban groove with that bass, drummer and horns?! How could anyone not shake it up to this?!
👍🇨🇺
Man, I remember in the 80's this song 'Conga' was playing EVERYWHERE from Miami to South Asia and beyond... Gloria Estefan brought the sound of Cuba to the world and became a superstar w/ songs like 'Rhythm is gonna get you'... "1,2,3" ... "Don't wanna lose you" ... 'Anything for you'... 'Turn the beat around'... 🔥🔥
Gloria was discovered by her husband Emilio Estefan... she became the lead singer in his band Miami Sound Machine... They are one of the few famous couples who have stayed married & together...
There's no human being who can resist to latin rhythms, even Brad!!! 😆🤣
Lex killed it!!! She felt that music in her veins!!!
Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" !!!
Can't wait!
They were one of the bands playing during closing ceremonies for the '96 Olympics in Atlanta. I was a volunteer usher in Olympic Stadium, and during the rehearsal that afternoon, several of us were standing by one of the tunnels where all the mini-stages on wheels were bringing in the performers & got to see her up close. She was so friendly! She's a really cool person who's done a lot with her money and fame to help others.
In 1986 they performed at Steamboat Days in Burlington, IA, which was about an hour and a half drive from where we live. Wife and I went with another couple and were in the crowd. They are famous for their Conga line dance while performing this song. During this show, Guiness Book of Records people were there and Officially confirmed the the Conga line at that show "was the official Record conga line " with just over 11,000 people doing the Conga at one time. Gloria led the line through the crowd and at one time passed within about 3 feet of where we stood. WHAT A MEMORY "Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine, who will perform tonight before a sold out house at the State Theatre in Easton, have been at the head of quite a few conga lines in their time, but never like the one they led at Burlington, Iowa.
This was the first of many wonderful hits for Gloria and her husband. They are like royalty in S. Florida. Right now she can be seen on TV in the new version of Father of the Bride.
First of all, let me say both my husband and I love your show! I believe this is the first time I actually post a comment.
I am Cuban, born in the island but for obvious reasons left in 1962 at the age of 4. One thing I can tell you about Cubans is besides the fact that we are loud, among other things, is that we have music and dance in out soul. It is part of who we are. Our music is a mix of Spanish melody, and the vibrant African beats and drumming.
Conga was derived from the Cuban carnival dance of the same name. The dancers form a long, processing line, which would usually turn into a circle. The basic dance steps start from left leg 1-2-3 kick then repeat, opposite.
I guarantee you that if you go to a Cuban party, and at some point, you’ll end up in a conga line.
Gloria and Emilio Estefan, both Cuban immigrants to this great country are one of those wonderful success stories of two hard working people pursuing the American dream. They have become one of the most powerful couples in the music industry.
Miami Sound Machine went through many transitions, started out as The Miami Latin Boys, Gloria joined, and Miami Sound Machine was born. Oh, of course, they fall in love and get married...
After years being successful in the Latin American market, Gloria and Emilio with the input of some of their band members come up with this idea of imparting part of our Cuban flavor to pop music. A new record is released using this concept in which this song Conga is included, and the rest is history.
Their biggest accomplishments however, are their son Nayib, producer and director and their daughter Emily a very talented singer, musician and producer. I am including a link to a performance she did honoring her parents at The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize several years ago.

She is Cuban musical royalty! Has sold millions.
I lived in Miami, Florida when this song came out!! Loved this and it was hot in the clubs!! So many different sounds and so many clubs!!! Good times!!!!!! My college life was great!!!!! Stayed there for 15 years ! Moved after Hurricane Andrew due to losing our home and business. Still miss the place!
Sorry!
Did you get to stick around for her concert/Hurricane Andrew fundraiser at Joe Robbie Stadium in 1992? It was spectacular. Especially when the Bee Gees came on stage. The whole stadium was dancing in their seats for their entire set. I'm still here...60 years, but just north in West Palm.
Me too! I loved her and Expose, both of whom I saw live back in the 80s! Living in Miami back then, watching Miami Vice filmed too - what an amazing time! I am sorry to hear that you lost so much during Andrew! We were lucky - our house was okay (without power for a bit; my cousin was out of power for a lONG time). My dad did get very sick from the debris and crap in the air afterward and was in the hospital at Jackson Memorial for nearly a month and they couldn't do anything until they figured it out. He couldn't eat, was losing such weight and was just stuck in the hospital. :-(
For a young white farm boy in Kentucky, this was probably my first introduction to Latin music....and I loved it. I know I bought at least one album or two of Miami Sound Machine as a kid. I also loved their song The Rhythm is Gonna Get You. This group is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
I love how the smile spread on Brad's face and how Lex like totally got into it! Who can sit still listening to this? Fun! (love the Lex giggles too)
"Turn the Beat Around" is an excellent song MSM covered, originally by Vicki Sue Robinson. Either version is good, I prefer the original.
I first heard Gloria do it live and assumed it was her song later i found out it was a cover. When it comes to Gloria's studio version i agree the orginal is much better but when she did it live with a full band lots of percussion and big horn section it's a completely different thing.
She recorded that solo. Not with the MSM
@@abrahamesparza01 Ok.
You can't help but Salsa when you hear it - I'm shaking my hips as I type. 💃If you both haven't danced the Salsa, I'd love to see you both dancing the Salsa in a Vlog. Come on Brad and Lex take/join a Salsa class.
This isn't salsa.
@@chumbimba83 Which one do you dance to this, though? I was tryna figure it out lol
if it's dance music from anybody from Cuba and has the conga in it, you will be putting some salsa in your step
Lol I guess you could do that? But this ain’t salsa.
@@TrojansOwl1 it's like salsa disco lol
A classic! This was a big hit for the Latino community and her music became very popular in the mid 80s to mid 90s.
Gotta love Brad's reactions to Lex, cracks me up everytime :)
Just love watching Lex react to music ! .. She has the joy of life in her soul, and it makes her body move in the most beautiful and fun ways .. Plus, her face just lights up when she's happy, and she makes those adorable sounds, squealing and laughing with delight .. Absolutely a pleasure to behold !
Yes indeed
Compared to her, Brad is like a cardboard cutout watching music videos!
@@paulkane7771 Cardboard cut-outs are actually more animated than Brad 😅 .. He does have some occasional moments where he seems to feel the groove of the music .. but they're few and far between .. He and Lex are total opposites in that regard.
While Brad scowls...
I love Lex’s reactions and commentary, she really feels the music. If it was just her, I would watch this channel a lot more. Brad is a buzzkill, for me. I hate to say. They seem like a nice couple and are attractive.
The 80s were banging 🤘
Conga dance classes really increased in popularity after this song came out. :)
It was a huge hit in night/dance clubs!
An amazing Lady with a great story, pure class. And Miami sound machine are a group of great musicians.
She loves this. Lex couldn't control herself any longer. So great to see
Senior year 1986! This song was played the first night in the club on our Senior Cruise. No drinking age at sea...we had a crazy conga line going. My God, what fun memories of youth!
Lex has got the very right rythm, wow. welcome back to the 80's ! 💖
the time of pure freedom and fun 🤗 (song from 1988)
now largely gone
I grew up in Miami! Love this!❤❤❤
It’s hard not to move when this song plays 🙂💃🏾
If this song doesn't get you moving... call the Morgue, 'cause you is dead!
@@paulkane7771 exactly 😁
Wife here..Taking me back to Cheerleading and School Dances!!..Thank You so Much!!.
Great Reaction as Always!!!..Sooo Miami!!
I lived there from 1985-2016. Yes Gloria and Emilio have a restaurant, "Mangos" on Miami Beach. Go to eat and enjoy the music of the islands and dance.
If you liked this, check out Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine: "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You."
How does anyone not love this song. So fun and catchy.
I’m in her video “live for loving you” 👍😊
YES Miami Sound Machine was huge in Miami back in the 80's, you should also check out Yaz with the song "Situation" that was in the nightclubs in the early 80's and/or also check out The Beat Club with their song "Security" in the late 80's. That was Miami music ...
Great reaction, great song! I love Brad's question, "do you have any instructions that are not metaphors?"..Lol. Too funny! Don't let it deter you though, Lex. Keep being you.
The best "party starter" song ever, and its not even close
This is so nostalgic. My mom loved them!!
Gloria Estefan & MSM songs...Wow, they sure bring it!...That piano in the middle was seismic! Some others, "Get On Your Feet" "1, 2, 3" "Words Get In the Way"(a gorgeous ballad) "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" "Bad Boys"(Make Me Feel So Good), "You'll Be Mine" (more)
Omg...please do more Gloria! 1,2 3...and all her many beautiful ballads.
From my days, yes i liked Gloria and her songs, better than a lot of music now.
When this album was released my mom wore it out listening to it so much. It was in the cassette player anytime she cleaned, drove, had people over, whatever. It was such a wonderful sound back in the day
I saw Miami Sound Machine the year this Album came out, and they Shredded it. Magnificent Musicians. Fun High Energy Concert. 🤘😎
Did the conga at Universal Stuidos so fun , great song and great fun Brad just feel the beat of the music and move to it , have fun with it, just find the beat and move with it
"Like you're drinking Spring water" 😂
I love you Lex!
So glad you found this! Tasty! Gloria is pure class. How can someone NOT dance to this!
Love it! Such a feel good jam. Thanks for the reaction!
great club dance song - gets you moving right out of the box
As somebody who was born in 82 and grew up to stuff like this. Gloria Estefan could get a party going. Great music
Lex loved this song. many great hits from Miami Soundmachine, and the gorgeous Gloria Estefan. Salsa flavored music, Cubano with Janet Jackson and Sheila E influences as well Many artists looked up to Janet and Sheila E at the time. Check out more of their songs. Check out videos for "1-2-3", "Rhythm is Gonna get You", "Bad Boys". They were very successful during the '80s and then Gloria went solo during the '90s, also some good hits from her solo career, check those out.
Lex loved this? She will really like freestyle music! Pretty similar to this. Freestyle music is Latin flavored hip hop sounds with singing melodies, electronics sounds, during the '80s and '90s.
Some real Cuban flair to this song. 😎
Lex expression is so fun to watch her laugh is so refeshing!! yall are to cute for tv
Come on Brad - get up and dance with Lex! She is two seconds from strutting her stuff with this one!
This song was popular in Canada too where we need a tropical infusion once in awhile. I do recall it being playef a lot and people doing the conga line on the dance floor
Love all their songs this was their first hit!!
Lol. Even Brad started grooving mildly
That's the best you get from him, but he did kind of go buggy over Alanis morissette.
oh yessssss !!! Love Gloria Estefan !
This song was played all of the time at Epcot center at Disney world in the 80’s when I was a kid. Good times
The Miami Sound Machine is the group that opened up the Latin scene and beat. Most Latin music was in Spanish before this, even though it was still american.
thank you. been waiting for y'all to react to this song. :) happy y'all enjoyed it. and yes this old dog lived in Miami in the 80s. even seen The Miami Sound Machine before they became a US billboard top 40 hit. most of their music were and are hits in Latin America. the majority of their music is in Spanish. but that still did not stop me from enjoying the music parts. yes lived in Miami and can only speak and understand a hand full of words in Spanish. but thats on me. no Miami is not the same look as it was in the 80s. then Miami only had one real skyscraper at the time, now there are dozens in the downtown area. if you want to see how the Miami skyline has changed, you can see it the old "Flipper" tv show, from time to time , that was filmed at the Miami Seaquarium. not a skyline you could see from miles out at sea as you can now. the tallest building before is what is now called "The Freedom Tower."
Gloria crossed hispanic music with popular music. The first to do it.
Before Salena🔥🙏
I knew Lex would be couch dancing to this one!! That Latin beat gets u moving! Don't worry Brad , my feet don 't cooperate either!! Get them fingers snapping! You just got to move something when this plays! Great reaction! Thanks 💃🕺❤
When I came to America in 1984 at age 7, my older brother bought this cassette tape of the sound machines this album and between me and him we literally played the ribbons off that cassette 🔥🔥🔥👍 great core memories with this song and band and Gloria
The only thing I can think of when I hear this song is 'Drop Dead Gorgeous.' Lol 😂🤣😂🤣
An awesome tune and definitely a mainstay at Junior High School dances back in my day.
Finally someone is getting to MSM and the inimitable Gloria Estefan! Gloria is acting in a new movie with Andy Garcia and I am wondering why she never did this along time ago! She was fantastic back then - one of the first Latin/US crossover superstars and the 1992 Superbowl halftime show!
Love to see you do this tune
Gloria Estefan - Rhythm Is Gonna Get You
GIRL…YOU ARE SOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!
Oh boy... watched this video two times, first with eyes closed imagining what Lex would look like. Second with eyes open, and yep, exactly what I imagined! LOL
Love this song
Nobody has as much fun as Lex on these reaction videos.
Gloria, the legend herself.
Oh Lex, you always have great energy and a positive vibe!!
Love to see you strolling down Collins Avenue blasting it!! 🥳
I just love Lex reaction. :-)
Florida music fo sho!
big voice. great singer.
Mango's, ha! Love it...Great memories...went there several times in the 90's. Great place with an awesome vibe...Clevelander was a great place too, but Mango's was THE vibe place on Ocean Drive.
Lex is a joy to watch.
You know the tune is great when you see Lexi’s knees!
This from the Miami Vice, Pablo Escobar, Scarface period, when somehow partying all night was easy…
i did a dance to this as a lil one too!!
y'all make me happy
love from Oregon 🌲🌊😊
The rhythm is gonna getcha ,ha ha.
Lex is feeling the beat Brad is still figuring it out 😂
I just knew Lex would be dancing in her seat to this one!
Fantastic Latin beats from Gloria Estefan! For a similar Miami vibe check out "Sweet Sensation" songs "Sincerely Yours" and "Never Let You Go"
I had a huge crush on Gloria. She can sing and dance with the best of them.
I don't know why or when my dad got into Gloria Estefan but hearing this song usually meant we were on the way to vacation. Good memories.
I remember an interview with Gloria saying they were big in South America and almost unheard of in the US, she said they would go to South America and play to 10,000 ppl and go back to the States and do weddings and parties, not for long Im guessing
My sister was in a dance school (k - 12) and their group (advanced high school) had one to this song for a competition in South Florida. They found out through the grape vine (after arriving) the judges were sick of seeing dance routines to this song. It had been a hit the year before. So they frantically a couple of days before tried to do it to another song. We were there a few days. Anyway they just ended up doing it to this song after all.
Gloria Estefan is from Cuba!!!!!!
would love to see you guys do a deep dive on grace jones , start with songs like "i've seen that face before ", "private life", "use me", "victor was a jazz musician", "pull up to the bumper", "slave to the rhythm" to begin with and wet your appetite, but theres plenty more ;)
I knew Lex was gonna go ham on this one
This band was HOT!!!! I don't know how it can't reach your feet, Brad!! You have to just relax and the music will pick you up and spin you around !!! 🎶 :D
Turn The Beat Around is another good one.
One of the funnest concerts I ever experienced! The audience was on its feet from the very first number until the last encore, even during the occasional slow number/ballad! What a blast!
It cracks me up how excited & into the music you get Lex!
In March of 1990 Estefan, 63, was napping when an 18-wheeler rear-ended her tour bus, which she says "felt like an explosion," and threw her to the floor. I am looking around, and it is mayhem," she recalls. "Emilio is over me, wild-eyed, screaming, 'Are you OK?' He's covered in blood." The Cuban-born songstress says she knew she broke her back. "I tried to get up," she says. "I had the taste of electricity in my mouth, that's the only way I can describe it. The pain was excruciating." Emilio fainted upon learning his wife's suspicions were confirmed: Her back was indeed broken. He feared she wouldn't regain the use of her legs and was told she would no longer be able to have children. (Both those notions were incorrect. Estefan can walk, and daughter Emily arrived in 1994.)
She is 63 now, not at the time of the accident lol.
From which Coming out of the Dark came to be. Such a beautiful song.
I remember hearing this for first time on my way to school on the radio. I turned it up said WTF this is going to be massive.
This song is going on my "Lex's happy place" play list.
Also do: Sheena Easton "Sugar Walls"
Lisa Lisa and The Cult Jam "Can You Feel The Beat" or "I Wonder If I Take You Home" OR "Head To Toe"
Don't sleep on it.
🤘💀✌
Oh lord...it's one of those back in the day songs. As soon as it starts playing...up you go one the dance floor. 💃 Wow..we were so fortunate 🥰 I don't have the moves anymore 🥲
I am positive that you still have the moves. They might be very rusty, but you still got them!
@@paulkane7771 🥰🤣 ... well I hope so. Just call me the Tin Woman (man).
Hah my home town. Can't belive you guys remember Mango's. 😄👍
❤❤❤❤❤
Hahahah! I love Going to Mangos on South Beach! Has been a few years. Will be back.
