Come on shake your body baby do the conga I know can't control yourself any longer Come on shake your body baby do the conga I know can't control yourself any longer Come on shake your body baby do the conga I know can't control yourself any longer Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger Don't you fight it till you tried it do the conga beat Everybody gather 'round 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 sugarcane 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 'Cause tonight we're gonna party till 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 ------ Chorus ------ Come on shake your body baby do the conga.

Gloria Estefan (born Gloria Mar’a Milagrosa Fajardo Garc’a on September 1, 1957 in Havana, Cuba) is a five-time Grammy Award-winning Cuban American singer and songwriter. Estefan began her career as lead vocalist for the Hispanic dance music band, Miami Sound Machine, in 1975. They crossed over to mainstream popular success with English-speaking audiences with the international hit singles, ÒDr. BeatÓ (1984) and ÒCongaÓ (1986). Also her single "Don't Wanna Lose You" (1989) was certified platinum in the U.S. and reached number-one on the Billboard Hot 100. Estefan is the only singer to have achieved success on different music genres since the Tropical/Salsa beats to Hi-NRG, Club/Dance music and Disco-House beats. Gloria also has number one hits on the pop, Dance, adult contemporary, latin and salsa charts. Known as the ÒQueen of Latin PopÓ, Estefan is one of the worldÕs most recognized popular music artists. With over 90 million albums sold worldwide, she is the single most successful crossover performer in Latin music history. She is one of the Best selling music artists of all time. Cuban-born, Gloria's family moved to Miami, Florida when she was 16 months old, following the Cuban Revolution in 1959. GloriaÕs father JosŽ Fajardo, who in the 1950s was a personal bodyguard to then Cuban president Fulgencio Batista's wife, was captured in the ill-fated Bay of Pigs Invasion that attempted to overthrow the new communist government established by Fidel Castro. GloriaÕs father was held as a prisoner until an exchange was arranged by President John F. Kennedy in 1962. GloriaÕs father Jose Fajardo was a proud anti-communist, served for multiple tours as an officer in the United States Army in Vietnam, where he was thought to have been exposed to Agent Orange, a defoliant used extensively during the Vietnam war to clear combat areas. He later contracted multiple sclerosis, and was nursed by a young Estefan for many years. He died in 1980. GloriaÕs mother, Gloria Garc’a PŽrez de Fajardo, now living in Miami, ran a school in Cuba in the 1950s for kindergarten students. Gloria was raised primarily in Miami (though she accompanied her mother, father and younger sister, Becky, to several military bases in the 1960s during her fatherÕs military service). She attended the University of Miami. As a student there, she also worked as a Spanish and French translator at Miami International Airport's Customs Department. Gloria graduated from the Catholic high school, Our Lady of Lourdes Academy
