The story behind
Gloria Estefan wrote a song called "Ayer," which was included on her album *Mi Tierra*, released in 1993. The song is in Spanish and tells of a memory of love left behind. Gloria’s voice carries a gentle melancholy, as if she were looking back, remembering something that is no longer there. The lyrics shift between the past and the present, as if time had stopped at a special moment. The song was recorded in Miami, at a studio called Crescent Moon, alongside Cuban musicians who helped give it that Latin touch. Among them were Tito Puente and Arturo Sandoval, who brought their unique styles to the track. “Ayer” became one of the most important songs on the album, which was an international success. The song stayed on the charts for a long time and remains part of the music that many people listen to today. ↓ Skip to chordsG Em
