"Chacarron" (often known as "Chacarron Macarron" or "Shark Around"[3]) is a song by Panamanian artists Rodney Clark (El Chombo) and Andres de la Cruz (also known as Andy's Val Gourmet).
It is a reworking of the original version from 2003 by Andy's Val Gourmet, who is credited as 'Andy's Val' on the release.[4] A cover by Yahari appears as the first track of their 2005 album Las + Bailables de .... Yahari.[5]
El Chombo and Andy's Val Gourmet's version reached the top 20 on the UK Singles Chart in December 2006.[6]
The song was included on the compilation Now That's What I Call Music! 65 of the UK series.[7] It was used as walk up music before at bats by José Reyes when he played for the New York Mets,[8] and is also included in the 2021 dance video game Just Dance 2022.[9]
