Miami Sound Machine, uh? You mean Gloria Estefan and the likes...well, that takes a lot of octave playing, like we said before. There is no ready-made recipe, just listen to the music you would like to play and get into the right mood (when your body starts moving with the rhytm is a good sign). Then select a style like a salsa on your keyboard and start playing simple chords, like Cm and Bb in succession, with both hands wide spaced on the keyboard (try these fingerings: G-C-Eb-G for Cm and F-Bb-D-F for Bb) and try to play in time with the music, with the two hands playing NOT at the same time (imagine that instead of playing a keyboard you are playing congas: the keyboard becomes a percussive instrument and you hit the keys instead of a drum). Play until you become one with the music.
Okay, that was just the beginning...
