 Photo above: A young Emilio Estefan plays the accordion for his mother, Carmen, in Cuba. The Accordion is Instrumental to Emilio and Gloria Estefan. Did you know that Emilio Estefan started his musical career by playing the accordion? I found this out when reading the Wall Street Journal the other day. Read the full article at: Estefan.pdf Gloria Estefan first met Emilio when he was playing the accordion in a wedding band and was mesmerized. The rest is history! Gloria Estefan, 58, and Emilio Estefan, 62, have won 26 Grammy Awards. Emilio says that the accordion is his most treasured item, even today! On 24 November, they were awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for their contribution to music. The Broadway musical “On Your Feet!” is based on their lives.
