No Llores

"No Llores" (Don't Cry) is a song recorded by Cuban-American singer Gloria Estefan for her fourth Spanish-language and eleventh studio album, 90 Millas. It features additional work with popular Latin music performers such as guitarists Carlos Santana and José Feliciano, Sheila E. playing the timbales, and Arturo Sandoval on trumpet (uncredited). The song was written by Gloria Estefan and her husband, Emilio Estefan Jr. and Gaitanes (Alberto y Ricardo Gaitan), while production was credited to Estefan Jr. and Gaitanes. The single was released by SonyBMG on June 18, 2007 digitally worldwide as the lead single from 90 Millas.

With strong Latin rhythms in the background, the song is a danzón that mixes some elements of popular pop music with Cuban rhythms, interpolating guitar sounds in two different ways: acoustic by Feliciano and Santana's traditional electric guitar sound. Upon its release, the song received critical acclaim, describing that Estefan Spanish-language solo musical efforts were often her best performances since she left the Miami Sound Machine.
