Rhythm Is Gonna Get You - Gloria Estefan - MP3 instrumental karaoke

When “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You” hit the airwaves in 1987, it marked a pivotal moment for Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine. Serving as the lead single from their album Let It Loose, the track was co-penned by Gloria Estefan and Enrique “Kiki” Garcia. It climbed to number 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and eventually secured the 16th spot on the UK charts after its 1988 re-release. The song’s genesis traces back to an earlier concept titled “Boogeyman’s Gonna Get You,” which evolved into the version we know today, complete with Glori Estefan’s iconic “Oye” exclamation. Recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami, “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You” fuses Afro-Cuban percussion with pop hooks, staying true to the band’s fusion style. The lyrics playfully suggest giving in to the groove, capturing the power of rhythm and dance. In 2018, the track was added to the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for its cultural significance. Decades later, “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You” remains one of Gloria Estefan’s most iconic and influential songs.
