Havana - Cuban duo ''Gente de Zona'' are filling social networks and specialized media websites with a new version of the song "La Macarena" together with the artists who made the song popular, ''Los del Rio''.

Six days after the new version - called "Mas Macarena" - was premiered at the 13rd edition of the Premios Juventud Awards in the US city of Miami, Florida, the new single CD and video with the sounds of the song has been viewed 500,000 times on YouTube.

The new version, with much more electronic sounds, still preserves a great deal of the original sound and allows members of Los del Rio, Antonio Romero and Rafael Perdigones (Seville, Spain), who are celebrating 50 years together, to incorporate some lines in Flamenco, while Alexander Delgado and Randy Malcolm give the song elements of urban rap.

After the premiere, the artists went to Cuba, to film the video on the island, under the guidance of Venezuelan, Daniel Duran, who has worked with Gilberto Santa Rosa and Wisin.

The original version of 'La Macarena' was recorded, published and broadcast in 1993 and included in a CD called 'A Mi Me Gusta'.

It has been sung and danced to all over the world, becoming a world musical hit and reaching the top of the list of musical hits in the US specialized music magazine, Billboard. It is one of the most important single hits in the history of Hispanic music.
