Another added: “It was a great concert, Absolutley loved it.”

Macarena initially gained popularity in Spain before becoming a worldwide hit following a remix by Miami-based producers the Bayside Boys and was named Greatest One Hit Wonder of all time in 2002.

A dance craze surrounding the song helped it become a cultural phenomenon throughout the latter half of 1996 and early 1997.
