Bailando Con Lola is the thirteenth studio album by Spanish duo Azúcar Moreno, released on EMI Music in 2006.
The album, which marked Azúcar Moreno's return to EMI Music after eighteen years with CBS Records/Epic Records/Sony Music, was recorded in Miami and again produced by one of the top names in Latin pop in the United States; Adrian Posse. Over the past twenty years Posse has worked both as composer, arranger and producer for a large number of stars, both in the Latin genre and internationally; Celine Dion, Luis Miguel, Carlos Santana, Christina Aguilera, Rod Stewart, Paul Anka, Thalía, Cristian Castro, Paulina Rubio, Ricardo Montaner, Lucero, Alejandra Guzmán, José José, Juan Gabriel, Rocío Dúrcal, Alexandre Pires, Pablo Montero and Mijares, among others.
Shortly before the release of the album in the Spring of 2006, Spanish TV station RTVE revealed that Azúcar Moreno were considered one of the top artists to represent Spain in that year's Eurovision Song Contest, held in Athens, Greece, sixteen years after the duo had their international breakthrough with "Bandido" in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, which finished fifth. Ultimately RTVE's choice fell upon Las Ketchup, feeling the sisters' tribute to legendary Spanish singer, dancer, and actress Lola Flores, the title track "Bailando con Lola" ("Dancing with Lola"), was too flamenco-flavoured, which proved to be a less than fortunate decision; Las Ketchup's song "Un Blodymary" finished 21st out of 24 participating entries in the Eurovision final.
