"I'm in a daze!" Dude, did you not expect a group of Swedes to sing one of their songs so perfectly in Spanish? 😜 Their talent knows no bounds! So, I think it's high time you heard "I Wonder", where Frida's vocal really does make one cry (don't go for any fan videos, just the Album cover will do, it's her voice, not visuals, you want to fixate on) 😙
ABBA recorded a whole greatest hits in Spanish called Gracias Por La Musica which was then expanded as ABBA Oro with later songs also recorded in Spanish (and just so you know it’s pronounced B-yorn kinda like Beyoncé ) 😁
Frida recorded David Bowie song life on Mars in Swedish on her Frida ensam album plus her solo Swedish version of Fernando and Bowie himself did a nice version of the winner takes it all
Another smile and a tear as I watched this. What you're experiencing is The Magic of ABBA. They were smart to market Spanish versions of some of their hits. You'll need to experience the Spanish versions of Chiquitita, Fernando, and When All Is Said and Done. Frida also has a Spanish version of Andante Andante she did years ago with Artist Arturo Sandoval (You'll need to react to the English version first). P.S.: Always trust your fans with the catalog we are recommending you. We will not steer you wrong.
theres spanish version of 1. Thankyou for the music, 2. move on, 3. hastamanana, 4. fernando, 5. i have a dream,6. knowing me knowing you, 7. chiquitita 8. when all is said and done 9. andante andante.... its their album called GRACIAS POR LA MUSICA. Very nice... such a talented group... VIVA ABBA
Hello again, thanks for doing your first reaction to ABBA song in spanish "Estoy soñando" is the first official video that ABBA did in spanish is the spanish version of "I have a dream" for the great success in Latin America, then ABBA recording "Chiquitita" in spanish, it was a smash hit, and the second song that ABBA recording in spanish (that year) was: "I have a dream" ("Estoy soñando") curiosly the two ballads "Chiquitita" & "I have a dream" pick #2 at begin and at end of 1979 in UK (in the english recording) another curiosly: 1979 was the "International year to the childrens of the world" and these is the only song in ABBA (since their comeback in 2021) with other people: a childrens chorus of Stockholm in the final verse and "Chiquitita", with lyrics about a child, your royalties was donated to UNICEF forever two ABBA songs with childrens as protagonist maybe you could react to "Chiquitita" in spanish too there's a few TV perfomances of ABBA in Spain 1979 or "Gracias por la musica" (1980) official video I wish you a great week my best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina South America
Dear friend surely I already wrote something to you when you made the video for "Chiquitita" Its success was so great in Latin America that ABBA began to sing in Spanish as well. But since they don't know the language (only the guitarist Björn has some knowledge) The lyrics adapted to Spanish are from the Argentine brothers (from my country) Budy and Mary McClusky and the ladies Frida and Agnetha they sing only for phonetics helped by a Spanish journalist This is how they recorded in 1980 an entire album in Spanish ABBA had already recorded "Ring Ring" in Spanish in 1973, but did not release it until 1995 (several years after their breakup in 1982).
I have a dream. I told you that you would love this. English version is gorgeous, too. I think they sang in 5 different languages. You have to do the English version too.
They sang phonetically, guided by a pair called Buddy and Mary McCluskey, who wrote the Spanish lyrics based on the originals, and who helped them with pronunciation in the studio. (Man, those English subtitle translations in this video are a bit shaky.) Gracias Por La Musica, their 1980 Spanish album, definitely worth a listen. Check out Chiquitita in Spanish.
@@electromaniac1yes, true, and then Buddy and Mary wrote them a phonetic script in the studio and listened out for mistakes, making hand gestures to indicate the mood of the lyrics.
Yo hablo Español. My original language is Spanish. Frida's Spanish pronunciation is perfect. Although she is Scandinavian. She was coached by Spanish journalists in Spain for the songs they recorded into Spanish. I think it's called phonetic language speaking. Yes, they are not ONLY talented but also intelligent performers. Thank you for the music
Although only Frida and Agnetha did any of the Spanish vocals despite the boys being in the video. They recorded 15 songs in Spanish in total. But they didn't speak Spanish, they just learned to sing phonetically. Fwiw, ABBA also sang a few of their early songs in French and German. And Swedish.
@@terrykemp1876Yes, Swedish/Spanish journalist Ana Martinez del Valle assisted Agnetha and Frida with pronunciation on the songs from the album "Gracias por la musica" released in 1980.
I'm spanish and they sound AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL AND SO GOOD... But well , is Frida she sounds good in every single lenguage... Her voice is magic even just speaking ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I bought their Spanish Album Gracias Por La Musica when it came out. It was one of two imported albums I purchased at the time, expensive but worth it.
@@Bklynreau I have all the main ones but I am content with that. There are only 2 that I want that were not released here but attainable, maybe one day.
Lol, love your reaction!! 😂😂😂 I don’t know if they speak Spanish, maybe Björn, but they do have a lot of songs in Spanish. They have a few in Swedish, German and French. Actually, Frida has a song in French after ABBA and she recently released a new version in Spanish of “Andante, Andante”. You should watch the Swedish version of Waterloo, lol. They look so happy because they’d just won the contest. 😁
She's had a house in Spain, as well as living in Switzerland, for years so I think she'll be able to get by in a few languages now. She's a clever lady!
Thanks for another great reaction. Just amazing artists , they sang in other languages, even though their native language was Swedish. Their singing in all these different languages is great, so clear and crystal, whatever the language.
"Bueno, muy bueno..."😅😅 This band is great in all languages... Frida❤ (and ABBA) also recorded in French, German and Swedish... Super sexy always 😍, of course See you soon, Brooklyn Sólo amor, from Chile 🇨🇱👍
Love this anecdote from translator Mary McCluskey at the International ABBA fan site (don’t think UA-cam will let me post the link): “The recording sessions were very special. Agnetha and Frida did not speak Spanish at all. We had sent the lyrics to them earlier, and they had worked on the pronunciation with a journalist named Ana Martinez del Valle. When we arrived, Chiquitita had already been rehearsed but, before the recording started, we had to make some changes, and Buddy wrote a phonetic script for them. While Frida and Agnetha were in the studio, we were in the control room. Buddy put on his headphones to listen to the girls and check for any mistakes. Obviously, they did not know the language, and they did not know what they were singing and so, for example, during romantic parts we made some kind of hand gestures to let them know it was a romantic part. You know, the voice must accompany what you want to express. I wanted to make sure that what they were singing was understandable. Buddy and I took care of different aspects in the recording sessions to achieve good results.”
You never disappoint 😁👏👏👏 The video is beautiful - some sepia and a candle. Frida looks different with this light. A little misterious and very heartfull. Nice video.
The lyrics were changed slightly in their Spanish versions to fit the melody. Chiquitita was a great hit in all of Latin America. Chiquitita has a certain "feel" that the English version just doesn't have.
Kraftwerk did something similar, at this time. All of their albums released in german and english. But some songs in spannish and french. And "Pocket calculator" they also did in Japanese.
@@TangoEliott Because as a reactor you generally want a first reaction with no preconceptions about group or their music formed from media. You can always look up specific info after the fact and expand your knowledge with each video organically. It is fine to have a different opinion and think reactors should study up on bands and songs before they listen, it is just another POV.
soÑando... De letter "ñ" makes the difference because "sonando" =I'm sounding. But "soÑando" =dreaming... So in Spanish is no I HAVE A DREAM is more like I'M DREAMING 😊😘
She has a velvet voice and she is beautiful ❤
"I'm in a daze!" Dude, did you not expect a group of Swedes to sing one of their songs so perfectly in Spanish? 😜 Their talent knows no bounds!

yea it def threw me off lol soooooooo good tho
@@Bklynreau Frida has a sad past because of her father and no mom since age 2.
ABBA recorded a whole greatest hits in Spanish called Gracias Por La Musica which was then expanded as ABBA Oro with later songs also recorded in Spanish (and just so you know it’s pronounced B-yorn kinda like Beyoncé ) 😁
Que voz linda e angelical de frida! Sou muito fã de Frida, amo seus vocais💯🥰🌹
Frida recorded David Bowie song life on Mars in Swedish on her Frida ensam album
plus her solo Swedish version of Fernando
and Bowie himself did a nice version of the winner takes it all

Hello again, thanks for doing your first reaction to ABBA song in spanish
"Estoy soñando"
is the first official video that ABBA did in spanish
is the spanish version of "I have a dream"
for the great success in Latin America,
then ABBA recording "Chiquitita" in spanish, it was a smash hit,
and the second song that ABBA recording in spanish (that year) was:
"I have a dream" ("Estoy soñando")
curiosly the two ballads
"Chiquitita" & "I have a dream"
pick #2 at begin and at end of 1979 in UK
(in the english recording)
another curiosly:
1979 was the
"International year to the childrens of the world"
and these is the only song in ABBA (since their comeback in 2021)
with other people: a childrens chorus of Stockholm in the final verse
and "Chiquitita", with lyrics about a child, your royalties was donated to UNICEF forever
two ABBA songs with childrens as protagonist
maybe you could react to "Chiquitita" in spanish too
there's a few TV perfomances of ABBA in Spain 1979
or "Gracias por la musica" (1980) official video
I wish you a great week
my best regards from
Buenos Aires, Argentina
South America
Simply magical musical notes coming from these angels.
Dear friend
surely I already wrote something to you when you made the video for "Chiquitita"
Its success was so great in Latin America that ABBA began to sing in Spanish as well.
But since they don't know the language
(only the guitarist Björn has some knowledge)
The lyrics adapted to Spanish are from the Argentine brothers
(from my country) Budy and Mary McClusky
and the ladies Frida and Agnetha
they sing only for phonetics
helped by a Spanish journalist
This is how they recorded in 1980 an entire album in Spanish
ABBA had already recorded "Ring Ring" in Spanish in 1973,
but did not release it until 1995 (several years after their breakup in 1982).
I have a dream. I told you that you would love this. English version is gorgeous, too.
I think they sang in 5 different languages.
You have to do the English version too.
Amazing!😂
If you love Frida's presence and voice you must be look "Ogonen" performance of 1996...stunnin'!!
brklyn look up ogonen Frida solo 1996 she is Beautiful in this one

I think you mean "they are not ONLY talented". 😆 But great comment, so glad to hear ABBA's Spanish is on point!
I'm not sure what they sound like to a native speaker, but I was always impressed that four Swedes could sing so well in Spanish!
Yea she sounds amazing!
Although only Frida and Agnetha did any of the Spanish vocals despite the boys being in the video. They recorded 15 songs in Spanish in total. But they didn't speak Spanish, they just learned to sing phonetically.

@@paqui1018 That's good to know! I always wondered if they sounded "correct".

Chiquitta in Spanish is very beautiful too. Check it out ❤️💛❤️💛
They have 10 songs recorded in spanish I think, or around 10. A couple in german, Waterloo in french and a handfull in Swedish. Imagine that today
There are 15 songs in Spanish at the album "ABBA Oro".
Kraftwerk did something similar, at this time. All of their albums released in german and english. But some songs in spannish and french. And "Pocket calculator" they also did in Japanese.
Thank you for another great video reaction, you're the best!✌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟ABBA were big in Latin America because they also sang in Spanish.
u welcome anytime!!!!
