"Bailando"
Song

"Bailando" (English: "Dancing") is a song by Spanish singer-songwriter Enrique Iglesias for his tenth studio album Sex and Love (2014). The Spanish version features the Cuban artists Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona, while the Spanglish also version features Jamaican singer Sean Paul. A version of the song in Portuguese with Luan Santana was released in May 2014 with the original artists of the song.[1]

The song was written by Decemer Bueno, and Alexander Delgado and Randy Malcom Martinez of Gente de Zona, while production was handled by Carlos Paucar. It was released by Universal Republic Records as the sixth single from the record. The Spanish version of the song acts as the opening theme of telenovela Reina de Corazones [2]

The song has since become the most commercially successful song from Sex and Love, charting in more than 20 countries worldwide and topping the charts in Belgium, Finland, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Spain, and the Latin based charts in the United States. It was also the highest charting song from the album on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, peaking at number 15, becoming his highest charting Spanish single since "Loco" and the highest charting Spanish single in the country to date.

Background

The song was originally recorded by Gente De Zona. In an interview he gave to Univision Musica, backstage at the Premios lo Nuestro he told the reporter that when Descemer presented the song to him, he initially did not like it and did not want to record it. But after recording he loved the song. He termed it as one of his favourites from the album.[3]

Controversy

The Peruvian singer and composer Sergio Pelo D'ambrosio Robles has reported that the theme "Bailando" (signed by the Cuban Descemer Bueno) by Enrique Iglesias, copied the entry and the choirs of his song "Lejos de ti".[4] [5] [6]

Music video

Accompanying music videos for both, the Spanish and the Spanglish versions of "Bailando", were filmed in Santo Domingo. The video for Spanish version was premiered through Univision on 10 April 2014 and was premiered worldwide on 11 April 2014 through Iglesias' official Vevo account.[7] for the Spanglish version through Vevo on 13 June 2014 and for the Portuguese version with Brazilian singer Luan Santana through Vevo on 7 July 2014.

The music video is directed by Cuban producer Alejandro Perez, under Enrique Iglesias' longtime collaborators, creative director Yasha Malekzad & executive producer Kasra Pezeshki. The music video was produced by Artist Preserve, London.[8] The featured dancers are from Havana's Ballet Lizt Alfonso.[9] [10] The lead girl in the video is Ana Karla Suárez[11] The music video was shot in Dominican Republic.[12] The video production in the Dominican Republic was produced by Aquiles Jimenez [13] The video has been viewed 210 million times[14] as of July 24, 2014. It is also one of his top popular music video that has surpassed Enrique Iglesias's hit song I Like It.

Synopsis

The video starts with Descemer singing Bailando in the room with Enrique and Gente De Zona whilst Enrique performing some football skills. As the song starts Iglesias, Bueno and Gente D' Zona walk the streets of the city, surrounded by working people and kids who juggle soccer balls. Enrique and Co. are then seen performing "Bailando" in a tunnel, running through a street market and a troop of flamenco dancers showing off their moves. Shortly after, Iglesias is seen to be seduced by a sexy brunette showing her best dance moves. The video ends with Enrique and Co. running back after they hear police sirens approaching them.[15][16]

Critical Response

Billboard described the video as spectacular and mentioned that "a young Cuban flamenco troupe swirling in red dresses meet up with street dancers with some mad soccer skills in one of the best choreographed encounters since the Sharks met the Jets."[17] Huffington Post also mentioned that the video has a little football and a sensual dance.[16]

Live performances

On 17 March 2014, Iglesias performed "Bailando", "I'm a Freak", and "Heart Attack" on Today in New York City.[18]

Iglesias also performed the song live on 2014 Billboard Latin awards.
