Con los Años Que Me Quedan (Brazil 305)

Gloria Estefan's Con los Años Que Me Quedan is one of the most beautiful songs she has ever recorded. I first heard it in 1993 on her Mi Tierra disc. It came with a very atmospheric video that you'd swear came right out of Cuba. Her voice was just lovely and the guitar work stunning. Show-stopping, really. I instantly loved it! I thought I'd never hear it any other way.

Surprise! In 2001, Gloria recut the lead vocal in English (with different lyrics on her  Greatest Hits Volume 2 with a brand new title and story, If We Were Lovers. Just as beautiful and a nice nod to hear English speaking fans. Was that the end of new versions of the song? No!

From 1993.

This year in 2020, she gave us yet another version on the brand new disc, Brazil 305. Still gorgeous with a Bossa Nova flair. Her voice still lovely after decades and instrumentation just as engaging.  Thanks, Gloria, for another surprise with one of my favorite songs!
