All the authorities in the world are in the same way that the ex-chancellor or the Poles have been, since 2002, possessed by the rhyme ‘ragatanga’. Hopefully, for the good of the European Union, that the good will be the second
Yesterday Rosa Palo confessed that the Spotify algorithm had portrayed her in terms of musical antiquity that even she herself had been surprised. Servant, unlike her partner – unlike Angela Merkel – cannot help being always up to date and next to last. On my list are Los Piratas and Rauw Alejandro, David Bowie and C. Tangana, Quique González and Aya Nakamura, The Beach Boys and La MODA; And perhaps that is why I am scandalized – and at the same time not so much – that the Ministry of Defense and Polish public television have chosen Las Ketchup among the interpreters who have performed this Sunday in a concert in support of the troops established on the border with Belarus. This fact admits two ways of interpretation: all the authorities in the world are in the same way that the ex-chancellor or the Poles have been, since 2002, possessed by the rhyme ‘ragatanga’. Hopefully, for the good of the European Union, that the good will be the second.
Today The Ketchup are an adulterated memory of how well we had twenty years ago –in the best case– or directly a tacky –in the worst case–, but there was a time, back in 2006, when these Cordovan sisters represented us at Eurovision. And the truth is that the boomerang of pop history always returns. Las Ketchup return to put order in Poland; Raphael returns, punctual as nougat; and the Ramontxu cape even returns, from the hand of Ibai, to the Puerta del Sol. So calm down, dear Rosa, because just as the Sisyphus stone never stops rising, the turn of the trend wheel does not stop. And what sounds stale today may come back tomorrow to make you modern again.
