From Leo AI: The official music video for "Conga" by Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine was released in 1985 and is directed by Errol Falcon.

Key details about the video include:

Plot: It is set in a fictional Miami nightclub called "Copacabana" during a reception for an ambassador. A boring classical pianist is replaced by Gloria Estefan and the band, who perform "Conga" to save the event, leading to a frenzied dance among the attendees.
Released in September 1985 from the album Primitive Love, the song was written by drummer Enrique García. It reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Singles chart, helping to popularize Latin music in the mainstream U.S. market.
Directed by Errol Falcon, the video is set in a fictional Miami nightclub called "Copacabana" during a boring diplomatic reception. The MC asks Gloria Estefan and the band to perform "Conga" to save the event; despite her protests that the song is too sexually charged for the setting, she performs it, and the crowd breaks into a frenzied dance.
The song was inspired by the band's live performances and the African roots of Cuban music. It was initially rejected seven times by their label, who felt it was "too Latin for Americans and too American for the Latin market," before Gloria Estefan pushed for its release.
