La canción de la semana #453

As the year draws to close, I cannot ignore this mega-hit any longer. It won this year's three Latin Grammies including Song of the Year as well as Best Spanish Video and Best Spanish Language Song at Los Premios 40 Principales... If you were in any Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking country this year, or any bar that plays Latin music, you couldn't possibly have missed it: Bailando written by Descemer Bueno (of Yerba Buena fame) and performed by Enrique Iglesias. Personally, I like the salsa version of this song by Croma Latina more than the original.
