They soon gained a large fanbase and released an LP in 1979 (1979 in music); it was the first all-Spanish album from CBS International[?]. In 1985, Miami Sound Machine began recording in English with Primite Love[?] in 1985. "Conga", "Bad Boy" and "Words Get in the Way" were crossover hits, and the next LP, 1988s Let It Loose[?] was multi-platinum (see 1988 in music). While touring in support of it, Estefan was in a vehicle accident and injured her spine. She was recovering for over a year, but then returned to the charts with Into the Light[?] in 1991 (1991 in music). 1993's Mi Tierra[?] was a Spanish-language album and won a Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album[?] (see 1993 in music).
