Los Del Rio - Macarena

Macarena is a Spanish dance song by Spanish Latin pop duo Los del Río, taken from their 1993 album A mí me gusta.

Its lyrics talk about a woman from la Macarena (a part of Sevilla, Spain).

One of the most iconic examples of 1990s dance music, the song was an international hit in 1995, 1996, and 1997, and continues to be a popular dance at weddings, parties, and sporting events.

It became a worldwide hit roughly one year after the Bayside Boys (composed of Mike Triay and Carlos de Yarza) produced a remix of the song that added English lyrics.

In 2002. it was ranked the Number 1 Greatest One-Hit Wonder of All Time by VH1 whereas in 2012, it was ranked as the Number 7 on Billboard’s All Time Top 100 as well as Number 1 on All Time Latin Songs.
