The story behind

When Gloria Estefan set out to pay homage to her Cuban origins with the album Mi Tierra, she recorded a piece that, with its almost six minutes in length, became a profound sonic journey. The track No hay mal que por bien no venga, with its hopeful title, encapsulates that essence. The recording took place at Crescent Moon Studios in Miami, Florida, a place that was filled with the richness of genres such as bolero, danzón, and son. To bring this project to life, Gloria Estefan summoned figures of the caliber of Tito Puente, Arturo Sandoval, Cachao López, Chamin Correa, and Paquito D'Rivera, who contributed their mastery and the soul of Cuban music.

This album, released on June 22, 1993, by Epic Records and produced by her husband Emilio Estefan, not only resonated in the hearts of those seeking to reconnect with their roots but also proved to be a milestone on the popularity charts. In the United States, Mi Tierra was the first album to reach the top of the Billboard Top Latin Albums, remaining in the number one spot for 58 weeks, a record that lasted until 2021. The sound engineering work was handled by a team that included Charles Dye, Patrice Wilkison Levinsohn, Frank Miret, Eric Schilling, and Ron Taylor, ensuring that every nuance of this musical celebration was faithfully captured.
