Blame Miami for the Macarena! August 3, in 1996, shortly after reaching Miami shores from Latin America, “Macarena (Bayside Boys Remix)” hit #1 on the Billboard charts. Credit (or blame) a Miami radio disk jockey, Jammin’ John Caride for first picking up the song, and for two music producers, Carlos De Yarza and Mike Triay, “The Bayside Boys,” for adding English vocals and speeding up the tempo to make it a dance hit. Macarena stayed on the charts for an astonishing 60 weeks, a record, and infected every public and social event. Everywhere in the world, from small-town clubs to entire sports stadiums stood up to do the Macarena. In Devon, England, 2,226 staff and students from the Eggbuckland Community College danced it for over five minutes, setting a new Guinness record — previously held by an Ontario, Canada high school. youtu.be/XiBYM6g8Tck
