"Danza Kuduro" (English: Kuduro Dance) is a Spanish/Portuguese song by Puerto Rican recording artist Don Omar and Portuguese–French singer Lucenzo, from Don Omar's collaborative album Meet the Orphans. The song is an adaptation of Lucenzo's "Vem Dançar Kuduro", a Portuguese/English one. It was released as the lead single from the album on August 15, 2010, through Machete and VI record labels.
"Danza Kuduro" became a hit in most Latin American countries,[1] and eventually all over Europe.[1] The song was number one on the Hot Latin Songs, giving Don Omar his second US Billboard Hot Latin Songs number-one hit and Lucenzo his first.[2] A remake of the song is also featured in the 2011 movie Fast Five as an ending song and is on the film's soundtrack album. "Danza Kuduro" ended up being the most successful song with a significant number of verses in European Portuguese of the 2010s. The track ranked 43 on Rolling Stone's Greatest Latin Pop Songs.[3]
Kuduro is a style of dancing, as well as a musical genre, from Angola. Brazilian rapper Daddy Kall and singer Latino released a Brazilian version of the song, "Dança Kuduro", with amended Portuguese lyrics.
