Hello, HIVE friends. Today is Tuesday and we all know that on Tuesdays there is music. Thanks to the initiative of our friend @ablaze, every Tuesday we share three good songs and rejoice our souls.

The premises that to appreciate music it is not necessary to understand its lyrics and that music is the language of the world are very true. That's why I decided to share here today, where there are not only readers who speak and write Spanish, but are from all countries of the world, three songs in Spanish of the many that have gone viral in recent years and that have made everyone dance.

In the first place is Despacito, a song written and sung by the Puerto Rican Luis Fonsi in 2017. This song has many records to its credit, among which are: it topped music charts for several months and is the first Latin song to receive a diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. This piece of music positioned Spanish-language music in all radio stations around the world and there are many who speak of a before and after of the Despacito phenomenon for pop music. Turn up the volume and remember.

The second piece is Macarena. A song sung by the Spanish duo Los del Río in 1990 and ranked No. 1 of all time in the Latin Songs chart of the U.S. magazine Billboard . At a time when the internet was not in every home, this duo managed to turn a song and a dance into the stars of the 90s. This song and its choreography were used for political campaigns, soccer team advertisements and even for the branding of a famous soft drink. There are still many people who remember the steps and the chorus of this catchy tune. Let's dance...

And we close with Waka Waka by the Colombian Shakira. This song was chosen by FIFA to be the anthem of the World Cup Africa 2010. This song was so well received and had so much impact that it is considered the best song used in the World Cup. While it is true that when Shakira performed this song she had already internationalized, it is also true that her career took off after Waka Waka. Her joyful music, her hip movements, and all the euphoria behind the World Cup, made Waka Waka number one on all radios and music platforms.
