'La Camisa Negra' is written in common time in the key of F-sharp minor.[2] The song is carried by a heavy bass guitar and an acoustic guitarstrum at a moderate 100 beats per minute, with an accompanying melody on the electric guitar.[2] The lyrics are organized in the common verse-chorus form,[3] and Juanes' range spans around an octave and a half, from C#4 to F#5.[2]

Lyrics[edit]

The lyrics explain that the bitter singer is wearing La Camisa Negra, the black shirt, as a way of mourning a failed love affair or even his own death, presumably singing to the object of his love. Some of the lyrics have double meanings or are structured to suggest more off-color phrases. Several sentences seem ready to end with an obscenity, before gliding into a new sentence that begins with a similar but non-obscene word. The sad lyrics are dissonant with the cheerful melody.[4]

Critical reception[edit]

The song received mixed reviews from critics. Contactmusic.com stated that the track 'is a good intro into the world of Juanes as it fully exhibits his guitar style and absorbing voice.'[5] MyVillage gave the song two out of five stars, commenting that it 'has a certain charm about it, but I certainly won't mind missing the boat on this occasion.'[6] IndieLondon called the song 'a supremely slick acousticballad', stating that 'the rolling guitar licks…provide a wonderful accompaniment.'[7] OMH gave the song a mixed review, stating that 'the powerful chorus has a rather catchy vocal melody to it' but that 'it's like being promised a culinary banquet only to be served a few chicken nuggets.'[8]

Controversy[edit]

Cars fast as lightning mcqueen vs francesco. The song was used in Italy in support of neo-fascism because of the association of 'black shirt' with the FascistBlackshirts of Benito Mussolini,[9] and many nightclub attendees from the far right raised an arm in the fascist salute when the song was played.[10] In response, left-wing media network Indymedia called for a boycott of the song.[10] Juanes later stated that 'La Camisa Negra' has got nothing to do with fascism or Mussolini..People can interpret music in all kinds of ways I guess.'[11] The song was also banned in the Dominican Republic for its sexual undertones.[12] It was also implicated in controversy at his August 2009 performance in Havana.[13][14]

Chart performance[edit]

In the United States, the song performed quite well for a Spanish language recording reaching number eighty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100.[15] It performed much better on the Latin charts, topping the Hot Latin Tracks for eight non-consecutive weeks,[16] topping the Latin Pop Airplay, and reaching number two on the Latin Tropical Airplay.[15]Billboard listed the song at number two on the 2005 year-end Hot Latin Songs chart, behind fellow Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira's 'La Tortura'.[17] The song performed well in Europe, topping the charts in Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland and reaching the top twenty in Belgium, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Norway.[18] The single was certified gold in Switzerland[19] and it is one of the Top 10 singles in the country's history.[20] As of August 2014, it is the 51st best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 395,000 units sold.[21]

Music video[edit]

La Negra In English

A music video for the song was released in 2005. In the video, Juanes arrives in a town, accompanied by two women (played by colombian actresses Natalia Duran and Norma Nivia) and an older man. The man and women exit the car, and the man begins playing a guitar while the two dance. Various people are shown in realist street scenes. A wave comes out of the guitar, and aside from Juanes, everyone through whom the wave passes is frozen in time, performing the same motion repeatedly in forward and reverse. During the last chorus, the wave reverses direction, and the people of the town disappear. The waves emitted by the guitar are sucked back in to the guitar. It is unexplained the identity of the women and the old man, and their motives, but it is assumed that they are sinister and possibly they are not even humans.The song and video appear in the video games Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 3 and Dance Dance Revolution X2.

Cover versions[edit]

In 2007, Mexican singer Lucero included a live version with mariachi of this song on her album Lucero En Vivo Auditorio Nacional.
