Wikipedia article




"'Tres Deseos'" ('Three Wishes') is a merengue and salsa song by Cuban American singer-songwriter Gloria Estefan, released in 1996 as a promotional single from her second Spanish-language album, 'Abriendo Puertas'.

Song history



"Tres Deseos" is an upbeat Latin dance song. It was the first promotional single released worldwide from the album 'Abriendo Puertas'. In Japan, it was released as a CD maxi single. Remixes of the song were produced by Rosabel, and with their help the song successfully made it to number one on the 'Billboard' Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The song was featured on the soundtrack for the film 'Dance with Me', which also featured Estefan's single 'Heaven's What I Feel'. It become popular at Estefan's concerts as a medley with her song, 'Higher' from the album 'Destiny'. The song was used on the television program Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 7); actress Cloris Leachman used this song on the fifth night of the competition.

Critical reception



Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' wrote, "One of the more 'latin' tracks off the 'Abriendo Puertas' album, which has Estefan exploring her origins, while not forgetting her international pop status. Tres Deseos is 100 percent pure undiluted salsa, just like the extra track, a traditional 'son' called 'Farolito'. It's sheer pleasure to hear Estefan indulge herself in her Cuban roots." Gerald Martinez from 'New Sunday Times' described it as "lively merengue", noting that it features "wonderfully complex horn parts, driving percussion and engaging vocals."
