Las Ketchup Career

Image:Ketchupcbs.jpg 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, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Romania, 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.

Rather opportunistically the group re-released the Ketchup Song, with a new video, as a Christmas song.

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).

In 2006 they will be joined by Rocio, their fourth sister, to represent Spain in Eurovision 2006.

Cover version

The song, the second single of the pop group, was a big hit and went to number 1 in charts. The dance became popular with tweens and teens in Brazil and the song was one of the main reason the 1st album of the group sold 1 million copies (Diamond Disc in Brazil).

Recent Events

Image:LasKetchupSpain.jpg Las Ketchup are coming back as a 4-girl group, with a new album titled Bloody Mary. The album release was delayed till the beginning of 2006. They are planning to release 1 million copies and their producer "Queco", whom also produced and wrote their world-wide single "Asereje", promises that this album retains their original sound. Their first single will be titled "Bloody Mary" like the name of the CD. This song is the Spanish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. Their long absence was due to them writing the songs for the album and Pilar's pregnancy.
