rdf:langString "Mi Tierra" (My Homeland) is a 1993 song by Cuban American singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan, released as the first single from her first Spanish language album, Mi Tierra (1993). It is written by her with Estéfano, based on inspirations by Estefan. The song is a tribute to Gloria's homeland Cuba—the principal reason for the making of the album. It was first released in the United States and took Gloria to the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks top position. The song reached the No. 1 spot on the chart, and was her first No. 1 hit since the Spanish version of "Don't Wanna Lose You" in 1989. It was also a hit on other markets (like the dance market), where it became Gloria's first Spanish single to ever reach the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. This song was also Gloria's first No. 1 in Spain, which led the album to become the most successful album released in the country for its sales of more than a million. The song was one of the first Spanish-language songs to reach the Top 40 on some English language countries like the United Kingdom, a record-breaking honor which would set the tone for the success of future Latin-American and Hispanic artists. The remixes for the song were made by Gloria Estefan's personal remixer Pablo Flores and by Tommy Musto. The song was played as a wake-up call for NASA astronaut José Hernández aboard the Space Shuttle mission STS-128. A rerecorded version was included in Estefan's 2020 album, Brazil305.
