The next year, the Brazilian pop singer Márcia Ferreira juiced up the rhythm of the Cuarteto Continental arrangement, translated Los Kjarkas' Spanish lyrics into Portugese, and recorded the song as "Chorando Se Foi." In Ferreira's version, she's still singing about crying, but you wouldn't know it from her come-hither delivery. The Peruvian group El Cuarteto Continental, covered " Llorando Se Fue" in 1985, and turned the panpipe line of Los Kjarkas' version over to an accordion. (That video linked above was made a bit later, but it's worth watching for its ridiculous karaoke-laserdisc production values.) It takes a lot to make panpipes sound cool even outside of a música folklórica context, but they pulled it off.
In 1981, the Hermosa brothers's folk group Los Kjarkas recorded an insanely catchy song called " Llorando Se Fue." Its lyrics are boilerplate stuff-"the one who made me cry is crying now"-but it's got a terrific, sneaky melody, with phrases that go on longer or shorter than they seem like they're about to, and a skipped beat near the end of the chorus. You probably don't know their names, but it's a sure thing you've heard at least one of their melodies. It’s always going to be an influence.Among the eight names listed as co-writers of Jennifer Lopez's new single "On the Floor," a couple stand out: Ulises Hermosa, who died in 1992, and his brother Gonzalo, a pair of Bolivian folk musicians who belonged to a movement called música folklórica that's pretty much what it sounds like. That’s what I grew up with, and that’s who I am at my core. “That percussion and brass live inside my blood. “You gravitate to what you know, to what feels comfortable and what feels good That funk, those instruments, that’s what makes me move,” Lopez told Apple Music. Just after rising to fame with her acclaimed role as the late Tejano queen Selena, Lopez released her first single, 1999’s dance-pop banger “If You Had My Love.” Lopez welcomed funkier grooves and declared her hometown pride with 2002’s “Jenny from the Block.” She displayed her biculturalism and more romantic side on albums like 2007’s Como Ama una Mujer, but she proved she could still amp up the party when she teamed up with Pitbull for the EDM-heavy “On the Floor.” Over the decades, the performer has continued to embrace her lively funk sensibility, as evidenced by 2019’s “Medicine” single. Born in The Bronx in 1969, Jennifer Lynn Lopez started out in musical theater as a child before she made waves as a Fly Girl dancer on In Living Color and then as an actress on the silver screen. Blending uptown brass with brown-eyed soul and R&B, the multi-hyphenate artist brings her Latin freestyle edge to pop and hip-hop, always staying on the vanguard through savvy collaborations with French Montana, DJ Khaled, and Cardi B.
It was never more apparent than in 2020's Superbowl LIV halftime performance, where she celebrated Boricua pride in a thrilling, rhythm-heavy extravaganza. Jennifer Lopez’s canny ability to bring the Nuyorican soundtrack of her upbringing to the global stage has defined her career.
