[edit] Album History
Abriendo Puertas was the second Spanish language studio album released by American pop-star Gloria Estefan after her successful Spanish debut album, Mi Tierra. In contrast to Mi Tierra, an album heavily influenced by Cuban music, Abriendo Puertas is based on traditional and folk music of Colombia. The single "Abriendo Puertas" is an example of vallenato, a Colombian music genre.
Estefan's second Spanish album won Best Tropical Latin Performance at the 1996 Grammy Awards, her second Grammy Award. The album has sold 2.8 million copies worldwide.
