Emilio, who had formed the band the Miami Latin Boys earlier in that year, learned about Estefan through a mutual acquaintance. While the Miami Latin Boys were performing at a Cuban wedding at the Dupont Plaza Hotel, Estefan and Navarro, who were wedding guests, performed two Cuban standards impromptu. They impressed the Miami Latin Boys so much that they were invited to join the band permanently with the band's name changing to Miami Sound Machine. Estefan, who was attending the [[University of Miami]] at the time, only agreed to perform during the weekends so that her studies would not be interrupted.<ref name=":0" /> In 1977, [[Miami Sound Machine]] began recording and releasing various albums and 45s on the Audiofon Records label in Miami. Their first album was titled ''Live Again/Renacer'' (1977). After several more releases on the Audiofon, RCA Victor, and MSM Records labels, the band was signed to Discos CBS International and released several albums beginning with the 1978 self-titled album ''Miami Sound Machine''. In 1978, Gloria married Emilio Estefan Jr. after two years of dating.
