Anda-luz!
Las Ketchup is the name of an Andalusian group from Córdoba, originally made up of three sisters. They released the summer hit of 2002: “The Ketchup Song” or “Aserejé” in the Spanish version. It was impossible to miss—we all danced to it.Nearly 8 million records sold, number 1 in twenty countries.
First riddle:why the name Las Ketchup?
Because their father is a super-famous flamenco guitarist named “El Tomate.”Who would’ve thought!
Second riddle:
Who's behind the lyrics?
“Aserejé, I’ve left everything behind. I’ve set out on a journey to Bugui and Buididipí.”
We agree, it's hard to understand.
But there's a hidden meaning.
Let's take a look at the lyrics. It's about Diego and his addiction to drugs and hallucinogens, which make the chorus incomprehensible.
The song starts with: “Look what’s coming around the corner, Diego’s zigzagging his way here.”
“With the moon in his eyes, and his turquoise suit, he’s carrying contraband.”
In other words, he’s completely “high.”
He heads toward the nightclub. The place is packed: “And where there’s no room left for a soul, that’s where he slips in, possessed by the rhythm of the ‘rakatanga’.”
The DJ knows Diego well. He plays his favorite track. And Diego…
“And he dances it.
And he enjoys it.
And he sings it.”
But Diego sings badly because he's taken too many... mushrooms!
So what’s Diego’s favorite song? “
” It starts with:
“I said-a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie”…
➽“Aserejé, ja deje tejebe tude jebere”…
…“To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat”…
➽…““Sebiunouba majabi an de bugui an de buididipí”…
You've got it? ➽ Sayyyy whaaaat?
