MIAMI — You may think you know the Estefan family.
After all, more than 45 years have gone by since Gloria and Emilio released “Live Again/Renacer” as the first Miami Sound Machine album. Nearly 40 since “Conga” crossed over from Miami clubs to global pop charts. Closing in on 30 years after Gloria took listeners back to her Cuban homeland on “Mi Tierra.”
But until the new “Estefan Family Christmas” album, released this holiday season, it’s a safe bet that despite the radio hits and concert tours and the Broadway bio musical that aimed to represent the real Estefan family, you’ve never really heard the fullest essence of the Estefans.
