Gloria Estefan heads to South America


Seven-time Grammy winner Gloria Estefan has performed all over the world in her career of over two decades. But for the first time she is taking her greatest hits tour to South America.
Estefan announces plans today to open in Uruguay on April 9 as
she embarks on a tour with stops in Chile, Argentina, Peru and
Ecuador. The Cuba native told a news conference that getting back
to Latin America brings her "full circle."
"After so many years of planning to perform there, but because
of logistics, you know, and a lot of political upheaval in Latin
America ... being available to do it was just too difficult,"
Estefan explained. "I spent 15 years of my life traveling and
we've been trying to get to Latin America forever."
The show comes less than a year after her European tour to
promote 90 Millas, a Spanish-language album of original songs
inspired by Cuba.
