Biography

One of the most successful Latin American bands to crossover into the English-language market. They helped pave the way of success for many other Latin artists. Started by then, bandleader and accordion player, [a=Emilio Estefan, Jr.], as the Miami Latin Boys, in 1975, as a weekend job. The group name changed a year later to Miami Sound Machine, when Emilio invited a female singer, [a=Gloria Fajardo] and her cousin [a=Merci Navarro], to join the band after a well performed audition on stage. In 1977, the group recorded their first album for a local label, [l=Audiofon] Records. Emilio would marry Gloria, a year later. In 1980, CBS signed them to their new Latin American label, [l=Discos CBS International] and 1984's "Dr. Beat" disco smash, would lead the way to a deal with major CBS label, [l=Epic]. The band, through its course has undergone many musician changes and in 1989, would go uncredited, when [a=Gloria Estefan] recorded as a solo artist.

LYRICS

C'mon, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer Chorus: Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer Feel the rhythm of it is getting stronger Don't you fight it, do you try to do the conga beat Everybody, get around now, let your body feel the heat Don't you worry if you can't dance, let the music move your feet It's the rhythm of the island, and like sugar-canes so sweet If you want to do the conga, you've got to listen to the beat chorus Feel the fire of desire, as you dance the night away 'Cos tonight we're gonna party 'til we see the break of day Better get yourself together, and hold on to what you got Once the music hits your system, there's no way you're gonna stop chorus (Instrumental break) chorus repeats 2x Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga!
