Bailamos is a Latin pop act. Their sound grew out of Cher, Ricky Martin, Carlos Santana, Rob Thomas and George Michael. Those roots explain a lot about how Bailamos arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Be with You, Hotel California, Billie Jean, Born in the U.S.A. and Islands in the Stream, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Sean Paul and Mr. Vegas, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 16 connections around Bailamos, reaching back through Cher and forward to Sean Paul.
