time for me to tell you about another song i am obsessed with

 hola a tod@s

let me tell you the current song i am obsessed with. 'llorando se fue' by bolivian group los kjarkas. last time it was the tuvan internationale. this time it's this:

 

 

the title 'llorando se fue' means 'crying, she left'. the vocal delivery touches my heart directly. it has lyrics in spanish and then a verse in japanese for some reason, which is very like . the pan-world feeling you used to get in the 80s/90s. recently i have been feeling nostalgic for this era

 

also i really love this live version

 

 

 

anyway if think it sounds familiar it's because you've heard the exact melody progression in jennifer lopez' "on the floor" (2011), as well as a bunch of other songs. the brazilian group kaoma stole the melody (and got sued over it) and it has become apparently a very common melody in latin america. i still think the original has a quality to it that the other versions don't. it's like, haunting in a way i guess.

 

ok thank you that's kind of everything i have to say at the moment. good bye for now <3
