‘WOW!’: See Dua Lipa channel Gloria Estefan at concert in Miami
Dua Lipa, FTW!
The British pop star brought the house down Friday night at the Kaseya Center pulling off the (close to) impossible.
In the second act of her concert, the first of two Miami shows on her Radical Optimism Tour, Lipa began to belt out a classic by a local legend. (The 30-year-old is known for doing covers of songs by artists from the town she’s visiting).
That would be Gloria Estefan’s 1985 hit “Conga.”
“Come on, shake your body, baby, do the conga, I know you can’t control yourself any longer,” sang Lipa, swiveling her hips in a black, lacy bodysuit. “Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger. Don’t you fight it ‘til you’ve tried it do the conga beat!”
After the rousing show, Estefan reshared a clip on her Instagram, giving it a rave review in both English and Spanish.
“WOW! I love Dua Lipa and was honored by her performance of #conga here in Miami!” wrote the Cuban icon, 68. “Thank you! I am a big fan!”
Fans flooded the comments section in agreement:
“When a Queen pays tribute to another Queen.”
‘Beautiful!!! Body, voice and attitude!!! The best!!
“Not easy to emulate Gloria ... but she was awesome!!”
And this, from someone who actually witnessed Lipa in all her glory: “I was there and I could feel how the WHOLE place screamed and vibrated.”
