Just remember - No autotune, no luxurious cars, no twerking girls, no rich designer clothes, no vulgar lyrics, and definitely no branding of any sorts. Just pure music, two musicians, two wonderful voices and a giant snowman! - ABBA will make u cry and jump in joy, it will peirce right through the heart and heal u inside.

All the profits from this song were directed to UNICEF, the charity that helps children worldwide. Such a generous gesture from an amazingly talented group.

It's a truly touching song that seems to capture empathy for suffering children. PS - Listen to "Fernando" for more of those gorgeous harmonies.

Chiquitita means 'little one' in Spanish. This was a massive hit all over Europe and all proceeds were donated as partof a show by a nuber of artists the UNICEF the United nations childrens charity. Abba recorded this in Spanish and it went back to number one again in Spain and throughout South America. They also did an album with 10 of their songs many prior hits in Spanish. Bjorn speaks about 5 languages. For a great example of Anni-frids vocals and great harmony 'Fernando' is amazing. Another Spanish themed song though the story is set in Mexico.

@rebeccalipps8007 2 года назад

I remember this! It was also used by my Spanish teacher to illustrate the "little female friend" aspect of the title & how Spanish speakers may make a fond nickname out of one's name by adding ita or ito. My husband's name becomes Guermolito. A lesson that has stayed with me for over 35 years. Gracias, Senora Fell!

@jumentooooo 2 года назад

@@rebeccalipps8007 In Spanish "chiquitita" is the diminutive of "chiquita" and "chiquita" is "little girl". in Spanish "chiquitita" would be the equivalent to "tiny girl", and from what I read about the group ABBA, in those years they sang in Spanish without knowing the meaning of the words in that language, they only learned to read and pronounce the words and not to understand the language.

@jeffstevens4262 Год назад

Freda and Agnetha are a vocal match made in heaven, but the songwriting of Benny and Bjorn never seems to get the accolades they so richly deserve. So many wonderful smash hits with a strong focus on melody and simple 'hook-lines' which captivated the world for thirty years or more until they broke up, but their melodies are timeless and still so loved by countless millions of us.

"Chiquitita" means 'little girl' (with affection) in spanish And the melody have a spanish tune, specialy by the acustic guitar But the center is the wonderful piano, like akmost all ABBA songs "Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, it has hopeful lyrics, a melody that starts very soft with the blonde Agnetha's solo, then grows and explodes in a powerful chorus; Agnetha and Anni Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence (Agnetha is soprano, Anni Frid is mezzo soprano, and together blending together the 'Third Voice' of ABBA) "Chiquitita" was composed especially for the Concert by UNICEF, invited (with a lot of artist) by Bee Gees ABBA premiered "Chiquitita" that night in January 9 (1979), and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF "Chiquitita" was ABBA's greatest success in Latin America, that prompted ABBA to record it in Spanish, and its success was so extraordinary that in the following years ABBA recorded an album with its best songs entirely in Spanish "Chiquitita" was specialy the greatest hit of ABBA in my country Argentina "Chiquitita" is in the Top 3 of all ABBA worldwide biggest hits, with 'Dancing Queen" and "Fernando", and it's a fantastic Masterpiece This promotional video was in February 1979 in Swizterland, when ABBA go there to a special TV "ABBA in Switzerland", for the 'International year of the Child' (That's why the snowman) It's their only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden I wish to see you soon in another reactions to ABBA songs GOD bless you and stay safe My best regards from Argentina

If you know anything about singing, and I don't , you can hear that in every syllable, how they enter each phrase (the "attack" in instrumental speak), softly or hard, how they choose how strong one or the other sings, everything, it's not by accident. I call it micro-phrasing and it's the sign of master singers.

Chiquitita means pretty little one (female, since it has the "a" ending). The diminuitive "little" is probably just a way of expressing affection/endearment. Like a lot of ABBA songs, this was released in both English and Spanish. I believe that those songs were composed in Spanish first and then translated, which is why sometimes in the English versions there are leftover notes and not enough words to fill them. Anyway, either version is beautiful.

@eduardooscar309 2 года назад

first in English, as always ABBA didn't write the lyrics in spanish

@JRcomments 2 года назад

It was released in several languages I believe along with some others. ABBA was not nearly as huge in the USA as they were around the globe. They were an obsession for most abroad in the 70's. I remember as a child visiting my relatives listening to the German sung version. You can find it here on YT.

@CVBASEBALLCARDCOLLECTOR 2 года назад

@davidjames3080 2 года назад

I don't think any Abba songs were written in Spanish before they had already been written in English. Even this one, Chiquitita, was only recorded in Spanish months after it was already a hit in English. In fact between their hit Waterloo in 1974 to Chiquitita in 1979, Abba didn't write or record any songs in Spanish. The success of the Spanish version of Chiquitita in Spanish speaking countries caused the band to re-record some of their hits into Spanish, but these were all old established hits.

Love your reactions. Agnetha was a soprano, Frida was a mezzo soprano, and as you aptly pointed out, they melded their voices uniquely well. The magic of the ABBA sound.

@mysteriousmysticalmoments2023 2 года назад

ABBA is iconic and definitely need to do more from them. Dancing Queen, Mama Mia , Fernando ect.

@keithygadget381 10 месяцев назад

It’s a joyous song of friendship. I think it’s not a person’s name, I think it is a term of endearment. Like “sweet girl”

@brisbaneshadowsplayers4225 11 месяцев назад

ABBA's music is so much more than great vocals. It is the total package of fabulous songwriting, superb instrumentation and sound engineering that remains unequalled, and without the digital trickery that is a feature of most pop songs of today.

We used to call our daughter chiquitita and when this song came out she was going through a hard time so it always brings tears to hear it.

The fab 5 in the 70s were ABBA , LEDZEPPELIN , THE EAGLES . THE CARPENTERS AND THE BEE GEES .No wonder the 70s sold more LPS Than any other decade ... 8 0f the top 25 biggest selling LPS Are from the 1970s Baby ........ A TRUE FACT /

ABBA the second biggest selling band in music history, only really the US that mostly missed out on their huge catalogue of hits worldwide. For example, their collection album ABBA Gold has been in the UK top 100 for one THOUSAND and thirty four weeks and counting - was still number 13 at the end of 2021. Twenty worldwide number 1's including Gimme Gimme Gimme, Mamma Mia, SOS, Dancing Queen, Fernando, Knowing Me Knowing You, Money Money Money, The Name of the Game, Super Trouper, Take a Chance on Me, I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do, One of Us, Ring Ring, Summer Night City, I have a Dream, Head Over Heels, Don't Shut Me Down. But really, dozens of other superb tracks including Voulez Vous, I Am The City, Eagle, The Day Before You Came, Lay All Your Love On Me, So Long, Does Your Mother Know, The Visitors, As Good As New... you get the idea! If you want to see what the band looked like in their heyday try the vid 'If it wasn't for the nights original broadcast 1978' in Japan. BTW the Spanish version of Chiquitita is stunning.

@drieuxkoeppel8152 2 года назад

They are the FOURTH biggest selling ACT in history. The number one is The Beatles. Second is Michael Jackson. Third is Elvis Presley. You are right that this is the second biggest selling group. Amazing, they were never even NOMINATED for a Grammy until this year. They were nominated for “Record of the Year” for their new song, “I Still Have Faith in You”. I’m thrilled they were finally nominated, but what on earth took them so long???

During the 1970s, Abba were revered as musical gods in both Australia and New Zealand. Their dominance was evident in 1975 when they secured the top spot on the Australian charts with consecutive number one singles for 14 consecutive weeks.

@michelemercier2286 2 года назад

Benny, the guy playing piano composes the music. Bjorn, the guy with the guitar, writes the lyrics. Agnetha, the one with blond hair, is a soprano and Frida, with the red hair is a mezzo soprano. Each singer has a lovely voice in her own right, and each have opportunities to sing lead ("Knowing Me, Knowing You" is a great one for showcasing Frida's lead vocals) but their voices coming together is what makes this group special. As you noted, their voices blend together so well - fans refer to this as the group's "third voice". They just recorded their first album after nearly 40 years and in an interview about making it, Bjorn said they weren't sure how they were going to sound after all these years, but as soon as Frida and Agnetha's voices came together it was "the sound of ABBA". P.S. The snowman is there because these were the very early days of music videos and initial attempts to make them look interesting resulted in things like Swedish (Nordic) people sitting in front of giant snowmen. :)

Growing up in Australia in the 80s, I was aware of ABBA, bit only as a massive joke. I began to notice over the years that every house had at least 1 abba album in their collection. Then the ads for abba gold started and I found myself singing along. So, I secretly bought ABBA gold and that night put on my headphones and had a fucking revelation. Some of the songs I'd heard parts of, but I'd never heard chiqitita. The piano, it's like a twinkling beautiful stream, the vocals, aww, just everything,. But that's what's normal for abba, unique.

Ohhhh, you got me with this one. I think this and "Fernando" are my favorite ABBA songs. Agnietha and Anna-Frid's voices are so amazing together, and they play perfectly over Benny and Bjorn's musicianship. It's so heartwarming that they put their differences aside after 39 years to do one more album. (I've heard it, it's incredible.) Thanks!

@russellevans2446 2 года назад

Who? Agnetha and Anni-Frid (Frida) were the girls names. 😁 Frida had a short solo career after ABBA disbanded. My favorite solo song by her is "I Know There's Something Going On". It's got that 80's vibe to it.

Frida (brunette) has a very special story: Anni-Frid Lyngstad was born on November 15th 1945 in Bjørkåsen (Norway). She was the result of a liaison between 19-year-old Synni Lyngstad and a German officer, Alfred Haase, just before the end of the Second World War. Alfred Haase returned to Germany without knowing about Synni’s pregnancy. Frida, aged 2, and her mother soon left Norway and moved to Sweden where Synni died in 1949. Frida was raised by her grandmother alone. Already as a child, she showed huge interest in music and used every possibility to start a career in the music business.

And if you listen words of this song like that... it does have a lot of sense... you decide :). When I listen to this song imagining that song sings about that, it brings tears to my eyes.
