Buy Now	The Best Latin Party Album In The World...Ever! (more) »rank: 36706 by: Various Artists : :This 16-track compilation demonstrates a sense of humor--or an awareness of its own cheese factor--by sandwiching 'Lambada' between the Gipsy Kings' 'Bamboleo' and the Bayside Boys remix of Los Del Rio's 'Macarena.'
