Fernando” is about the Mexican Revolution of 1910. It is a ballad consisting of old friends sharing memories of the war for freedom they fought long ago.
"Fernando" (1976) is slowly, and beautiful The best is the beauty of their vocal harmonies, with great solo intro by the brunette singer Frida, very soft at the whisper level but at a level of perfection, with Agnetha join in the test of the song and gives a fantástic harmonies, with exploted in a powerful chorus ABBA had already recorded "Dancing Queen" and it came from the success of "Mamma Mía" It was their manager who convinced Them to record "Fernando" so as not to repeat the style (the brunette singer Frida had done it the year before on her solo album in Swedish, with other lyrics, and it was a big success in Sweden) The manager was right and everything was a great success, one after another in 1976, that gives ABBA three #1 consecutives in UK: Mamma Mía (2 weeks) Fernando (4 weeks) Dancing Queen (6 weeks) "Fernando" was a colossal success in Australia (14 weeks #1 surpassed the BEATLES with "Hey Jude") and #1 in U.S. Adult Contemporary too "Fernando" is (in a tie with Chiquitita, from 1979) the ABBA second greatest worldwide (only behind Dancing Queen) and sell more than 10 millions singles all over the world And in 1980, after the worldwide succes of the single Chiquitita at latín countries in 1979, "Fernando" was one of the songs recorded in spanish to the full album 'Gracias por la música" (ABBA singing in spanish language) the official video of Fernando was filmed in two days , at the same time with the official video of Dancing Queen, in February 1976 My new sugestion is "Thank you for the music" (1977) an ABBA hymn A cordial greeting with affection from Buenos Aires Argentina South America
