Thread: Las Ketchup

I'm listening to Las Ketchup now and it drives me crazy! It's great!! I need to buy a tape.
Is it popular in your country?

i have never heard this song, who is it by?

It's a Salsa girl group from Spain. Not bad salsa.

So it's not popular in Здесь, туда, всюду !
In Moscow I often hear it now somewhere

The latest fashions and music always hit Europe at least 6 months to a year before they catch on here. But I did find several web sites on Las Ketchup. Do you know why they call themselves "the tomato sauce" and why do they sing that song Hey, Hey in nonsense words?

I have read somewhere their father has been a singer called Tomato or like that and they are the product of his education so. I haven't heard that song Hey, Hey, I'll go ahead now to look for it on the web

Just found another site, the song is Hey, Hah and apparently they sing it in 4 different language versions. But the English version has a lot of Spanish words mixed in. Maybe just for fun.

Sorry, but I HATE that song. And it was a HUGE hit here in the summer of 2002, couldn't get around it, awful.

Marina, did you hear that song only recently? I was in St. Petersburg this winter and heard it quite often there.

Las Ketchup must be getting popular here. I just found the Billboard 2003 Latin Music Awards site and Las Ketchup won best new artist album of the year.

They're one hit wonders. Haven't heard from them after that dreadful Ketchup song thingy. Let's keep it that way, shall we?

Latin music is really big here, so they may be around for quite awhile. The award show was just in May so they might be fairly new to U.S.

Yes, I found it, it was called a Spanglish version.
I don't know when they appeared in Russia. I first heard their song this winter. Just several days ago my brother downloaded it from the web and I started listening to it and can't stop...

Latin Music is amazing, especially the stuff you hear in the clubs of South Florida

BTW, Brandon, do you know that Virginia is Вирджиния или Виргиния?

obviously no.... is the las ketchup song that new song thats supposed to be the "new macarena"

"Вирджиния" лучше

Если не ошибаюсь, Виргиния - название штата, Вирджиния - город, хотя по-английски одинаково

no Virginia was named after the "Virgin Queen " unless your talking about the capital...then yes its named after a city in England

Translation:

"If I'm not mistaken, Виргиния - the name of the state, Вирджиния - a city, but in English they are alike."

In my book there are two variants of naming this state: Виргиния (which was written with bold style) and Вирджиния (written with plain font). So, both variants are possible (according to the book).

Интересно. А какого года книга?
