"Macarena" was originally
recorded for the Spanish duo's 1993 album A Mí Me Gusta. A
dance remix by the electropop group Fangoria was a success
in Spain, and a soundalike cover version by Los Del Mar
became popular in Canada. Another remix by Miami-based
producers the Bayside Boys, who added a section with English
lyrics and expanded its popularity, initially peaked at
no.45 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in late 1995. This remix
enjoyed a sgnificant revival the following year, its
resurgence was aided by a dance craze that became a cultural
phenomenon. However, "Macarena" was the biggest smash-hit of
the year 1996 globally and reached the top positions on the
hitlists in almost all countries around the world. |
