Las Ketchup is a 3-girl group consisting of Lola, Pilar, and Lucía Muñoz from Córdoba in Andalucia, Spain.
In the summer of 2002 they had a major flamenco Europop fusion hit with Aserejé (released as The Ketchup Song in the UK and other countries), which reached or almost reached the top of the charts in many countries including Spain, the UK, Italy, France, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Argentina, Mexico and the U.S. commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The title and part of the lyrics were gibberish.
The hit also had an accompanying dance. The sound of the lyrics in the chorus resembled the first few lines of the song Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang.
The name of the group is a reference to their father Juan Muñoz, a well known flamenco guitarist known as El Tomate (The Tomato). This also explains why their debut album carried the title Las hijas del tomate (Tomato's daughters). |
