The Anthem is the second single released by Pitbull off his 2007 album The Boatlift. It features crunk rapper Lil Jon. The intro line, as well as the song’s main hook, is taken from a 90s old Latin hit “El Africano” by Wilfrido Vargas.
It samples the song Calabria, which was popularized by Enur. This song is notable because its primary beat is played by a synthesized saxophone.
Pitbull is defintely an underrated artist. he’s amazing, talented, and good looking. most of his stuff is not commerical enough, which is good. If you think the Boatlift was good, El Mariel was even better.
