LATIN AMERICAN MODEL

A/D Any memories of Colombia?
G. E. Uff a lot of! I remember the “Into the Light” World Tour in
1992, we were at the stadium El Campin in Bogota, I think
that's the name right? The earth quaked under the number of
attendees and we were worry with my band Miami Sound
Machine, because we didn’t know at what time the stadium
could fall down, it was unbelievable. I exactly remember that
night; also hits like Abiendo Puertas or Mi Tierra have that
Colombian legacy with composers like Kike Santander and
Estefano. The magnificent and short presentation in Cartagena
in 1995! My fans in Colombia are beautiful. They’re always in
my heart!
A/D How do you see the Colombian music?
G. E. It is rising; it is now part of the music of the world. One of
my favorites is Carlos Vives, his music is very rich, and it has
much of his folklore, but at the same time is modern. And I am
proud to have been part of the career of the great Shakira to
whom I have a
deep respect and
admiration, love it!
A/D Have you a
special message to
the Colombians
who are reading
this article?
G. E. I love them
very much; they
always believe in
their goals and
dreams! With great
affection ... Gloria!
