Background

The song is written by Don Omar, Faouze Barkati, Fabrice Toigo as well as Lucenzo who is also producer of the song. The music of "Danza Kuduro" is largely based on the bilingual Portuguese/English Lucenzo dance hit entitled "Vem dançar kuduro" featuring Big Ali, however most of the lyrics of "Danza Kuduro" are rewritten in Spanish. Kuduro is an Angolan type of music also very popular in Portugal and Balkan[citation needed].

Critical reception

Amar Toor from Aol Radio Blog said that the song "showcases one of reggaeton's brightest stars at his absolute best. [...] Don Omar's song is so infectious, it will likely get buried in your mind after just one listen -- and trust us, that's a very good thing".[4]

Monica Herrera from Billboard said "The propulsive beat is laced with crowd-pleasing electric accordion runs, over which Don Omar sings and raps about a simple yet evergreen concept: dancing up a storm. The song wisely shifts him toward more tropical-leaning material-a move all too familiar in reggaetón's post-boom era-while letting him continue to explore new sounds and maintain his hold over Latin dancefloors around the world."[5] Allison Stewart from The Washington Post said that the song "exemplifies what Omar and company do best: It's a sunny, up-tempo, utterly winning variation on Latin dance pop. 'Orphans' otherwise contains seemingly infinite variations on reggaeton, though there's nothing else as great as the standard genre track 'Hasta Abajo', which appears here in un-remixed form".[6]

Chart performance

The song debuted at number 48 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs. One week later, the song debuted at number 34 on the Tropical Songs.[7] The song has become Don Omar's second number-one hit on the Billboard Latin Songs, and also topped the Latin Rhythm Songs, Latin Tropical Songs. On the Venezuelan Airplay Chart from the Record Report, the song also reached the top of the Latin Chart,[8] and peaked at number 2 on the main Top 100 Chart.[9] Due to heavy airplay and strong sales in the US, on the issue of May 21, 2011 the song debuted at number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 93 on the Canadian Hot 100.[10]

According to Universal Records, the single became a worldwide hit, reaching No. 1 in Argentina, Ecuador, Venezuela, US Latin (Billboard), Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Romania, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and Sweden and making the top 5 in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colombia, Chile, Central America, Denmark, and Norway.[3] The single has found greater success especially in Italy where it topped the charts for 10 straight weeks.
