The 90 Millas World Tour is the seventh concert tour by singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan, the tour was performed primarily for her Spanish audience but also for the Dutch, Irish and British who have been her most ardent supporters. The tour was promoted by concert touring company Live Nation,〔http://www.90millas.com/〕 which also promotes shows for other international acts such as Madonna, U2 and Jay-Z. ==Tour history== This tour was made in part to promote the album sales of her latest effort ''90 Millas'', though initially the tour was a rumour only made by some Estefan fans on their forums, in May 2008 was announced by Estefan herself to a Spanish newspaper that the tour would come true for the summer season. This marked the first time in twelve years since Estefan made a tour to the European continent. The tour started with only two legs, but both were for Europe, the first leg was for the concerts in Valencia and Marbella, Spain. The second leg started with the sold-out concert at Rotterdam, Netherlands〔http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/080905/nyf056.html?.v=101〕 and initially the tour would start at The Netherlands, and then will pass to Spain, but at last-time the concert started in Valencia for unknown reasons.〔http://www.90milllas.com〕 Later, in 2009 the second leg was expanded to Latin American countries.〔http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/search/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003944834〕 The tour was very simple and was partially made by all the Estefan's greatest hits, adding to some dates different songs at the encore section. At least one song of every album released by Estefan was added to set list: *From ''Eyes of Innocence'': "Dr. Beat." *From ''Primitive Love'': "Conga." *From ''Let It Loose'': "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You," "Can't Stay Away from You," 1-2-3" and "Anything for You" or its Spanish version "No Te Olvidare." *From ''Cuts Both Ways'': "Don't Wanna Lose You" or its Spanish version "Si Voy a Perderte," "Here We Are," Oye Mi Canto (Hear My Voice)," "Cuts Both Ways" and "Get on Your Feet." *From ''Into the Light'': "Remember Me with Love," "Live for Loving You" and "Coming Out of the Dark" or its Spanish version "Desde la Oscuridad." *From ''Gloria Estefan Greatest Hits'': "Always Tomorrow" and "I See Your Smile". *From ''Mi Tierra'': "Mi Tierra," "Con Los Años Que Me Quedan," "Si Señor!..." and Ayer." *From ''Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me'': "Turn the Beat Around," "Everlasting Love" and "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me." *From ''Abriendo Puertas'': "Tres Deseos," "Abriendo Puertas," and "Más Allá." *From ''Destiny'': "Reach," "Higher," "Show Me the Way Back to Your Heart," You'll Be Mine (Party Time)," and "No Pretendo." *From ''Gloria!'': "Heaven's What I Feel" or its Spanish version "Corazon Prohibido," "Oye!," Cuba Libre" and "I Just Wanna Be Happy." *From ''Alma Caribeña'': "No Me Dejes de Querer." *From ''Unwrapped'': "Hoy" or its English version "Wrapped," "I Wish You" and "Tu Fotografía" or its English version, "Your Picture." *From ''90 Millas'': "No Llores," "Morenita," "Caridad," and "Bésame." Estefan sang the collaboration with Só Pra Contrariar "Santo Santo" as part of the encore of the Tenerife concert; this time the song was sung a cappella and with the public. The song was later added to the running order in her concerts of 2009 as a virtual duet with Só Pra Contrair on the video screen. Estefan also made some covers, the first was Connie Francis hit "Where the Boys Are;" this song was sung at the concerts in London, Belfast, Rotterdam, and Hollywood. Another cover made by Estefan was her collaboration with Jennifer Lopez "Let's Get Loud" which was written by Estefan herself for Lopez's debut album. For the Madrid and Tenerife concerts Estefan made a cover of Joselito with his song "El Ruiseñor".〔http://www.gloriaestefan.com/cms/index.php/tour/europe/180-hola-from-madrid.html〕 In Liverpool, she sang a cover of "One Day in Your Life" as a tribute to Michael Jackson.〔http://www.gloriaestefan.com/cms/tour/europe/343-greetings-from-rainy-liverpool-message-from-frank.html〕 For the British concert on September 10, 2008 Estefan added a special song for the show, her rendition of Mel Carter's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me," which is until today one of Estefan's biggest selling singles at the UK.〔http://www.gloriaestefan.com/cms/index.php/tour/58-europe/175-wembley-was-a-smashing-success.html〕 Estefan also made some other encores at other concerts, at Madrid, Estefan made again the same rendition as she did at the Wembley Stadium of Mel Carter, and she also sang an acoustic version of her song "Always Tomorrow" and the cover of Joselito. Though not included at first at the places to visit of the tour, Estefan was named along with REO Speedwagon the headliners for the 2008 Aruba Music Festival,〔http://www.perfectpeople.net/article/800/3064021/gloria-estefan/aruba-music-festival.htm〕 leading to a free performance at October 11. One of the highlights of the tour was when Estefan surprised the audience and brought out her 13-year-old daughter Emily. The audience received Emily with an ovation and she performed to the audience playing the electric guitar and the drums in all the tour. Emily Estefan made a cover of Alice Cooper's "School's Out".〔http://www.gloriaestefan.com/cms/index.php/tour/europe/145-gloria-estefan-opens-european-tour-in-spain-to-over-50000-fans.html〕 In 2009 the song was replaced by Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「90 Millas World Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
