Looking for a Mexican Song - Chorus sounds Like "Quan-Tan-Ameda" in English. Must be very popular in Mexico!

Question

This song was played by a small band on the ferry from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel.

It was very high energy and everyone (especially the little Mexican kiddos) were singing along and dancing. It was very easy to pick up the chorus (the part that sounds like "Quan-Tan-Ameda" or something like that) and sing along.

If you can provide me with the name of the song and the artist (if there is an artist), that would be great!

Thanks,

Jason
