La Gloria Eres Tu is a classic Cuban bolero written by José Antonio Méndez, a key figure of the Filin movement. The original artist and composer is Méndez, who reportedly wrote the song in his early twenties and used poetic license that sparked debate, with audiences sometimes shouting Desmiento a Dios during performances. The tune is a bold tribute to a beloved, declaring that the beloved is the glory. A remastered version appears on La Gloria Eres Tu (Remastered) from 2013, and the track also features on later releases such as Boleros para Enamorarse, Vol. 3 and Noche de Bohemia, showcasing its lasting influence in the bolero and Cuban music catalog.
