At a time when Cuban-based artists had long been absent from the billboardcharts, “Bailando” brought them back, with a vengeance. Below, read about how enriqueiglesias, Descemer_Bueno & GdZOficial's track helped define the decade
. The 2014 track broke all records on the Hot Latin Songs chart by a considerable distance, remaining at No. 1 for 41 weeks.
If “Despacito” broke ground with its mix of Latin reggaeton and pop, rapping and singing, “Bailando” opened the door to that possibility, marrying Iglesias’ up-tempo melodic fare with Descemer Bueno’s singer/songwriter vibe and, the coup de grace, the urban beats and gritty vocals of Cuban duo Gente de Zona.
Suddenly, it clicked. Bueno released his version of the song with Gente de Zona, and Iglesias eventually heard it. “This is when you realize that a song that makes you feel like there’s lightning in a bottle is extremely difficult, and all the stars have to align,” muses Iglesias. Iglesias then called Sean Paul for a new bilingual version of the song, “Because I knew he would get it. He was good at taking songs that were not in English [and making] them sound great.” Aided by the Sean Paul remix, “Bailando” rose to No. 12 on the Hot 100.
