    I'm a man who has a hard time expressing his feelings in "real life" (which are undoubtedly there), but with certain songs like this song the tears just come uncontrollably.

    Don't apologize for true emotions.. There is something very innocent about Abba that hits hard today. I cried too. Packing my childhood home after my father died a while a go. Remembering my mother and me dancing in the kitchen listening to Abba. As a Swede born in the early1970 Abba's music has always been a part of my Swedish identity.

    When ABBA released the song in 1979, they made a special commitment to donate all royalties from "Chiquitita" to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The band wanted to use the song's success to support children's welfare and humanitarian causes around the world.
    The song became a part of a broader effort by ABBA to raise awareness and funds for UNICEF, and as a result, the royalties generated from "Chiquitita" were channeled to support the organization's work. So far, in the beginning of 2025 this song alone has channeled 55 million dollars to United nation Children fund and abused girls in Guatamale. Chiquitita is Little Girl in Spanish.

    Fifty percent of the proceeds from the song go to UNICEF in recognition of the "International Year of the Child" in 1979. In 2014, all ABBA members agreed on increasing their donation to 100% of all royalties from the song to UNICEF. As of 2021, the song's royalties had raised $4.8 million for the charity.

    Little girl in Spanish, from sad to soaring hope and joy. A christmas special for UNICEF - which explains the lyrics, and much of the royalties going to the children's charity. ABBA had a unique and extremely recognisable sound - and still do! Beautiful song.

    • @howardmckenna

      They actually handed UNICEF the full rights to this song so all royalties (including writer's royalties) went to the charity.

  • @eduardooscar309
    @eduardooscar309 2 місяці тому +4

    I'm so glad to see you for first Time
    with eaction to ABBA songs
    Chiquitita" (1979)
    means 'very 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 almost 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 & Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence
    It allows us to check how excellent singers the blonde Agnetha & the brunette Frida are and what harmonies of excellence they achieve. It stands out especially when they stretch the monosyllables with great quality and beauty
    "Chiquitita" was premiered especially for the UNICEF Concert (January 9, 1979, just 45 years ago!) 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 year ABBA recorded a full album with their best songs entirely in Spanish
    ("Chiquitita" in Spanish is the biggest ABBA hit 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
    These official video was filmed in Swizterland 1979 (ABBA goes for a TV Special)
    It's the only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden
    I hope to see you soon in another ABBA song
    my next suggestion is to
    "Fernando" (1976)
    with the brunete singer Frida in lead voice
    GOD bless you and stay safe
    My best regards from
    Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
    South América

    Abba just had that amazing knack of writing joyous songs that are also incredibly emotional. Growing up, I always this was a little twee/old-fashioned, but now it is one of my favourites. I love the way it effortlessly switches from folk ballad to oompah band and back again!
    Empress, if you ever get the chance to come to London, you MUST see Abba Voyage. I saw it earlier this year and it absolutely blew me away. So many people in the audience were crying (and smiling!)

    Originally, this was called "In The Arms Of Rozellita." Bjorn Ulvaeus, who wrote the song, liked the title but couldn't find a matching story, so it became "Chiquitita."
    ABBA performed this song in 1979 at the Music for UNICEF Concert. ABBA donated half the proceeds from the song to UNICEF.
    Chiquitita, in Spanish, means "Very Little Girl."
    To facilitate a breakthrough in South America, ABBA recorded a Spanish-language version of this song, despite the fact the band had never learned the language. The Swedes sang the song phonetically and their efforts enhanced their popularity in a number of Latin America countries.

    Hello dear beautiful lady, well, your face just said it all like always ! Abba are indeed musical maestros and often display themselves as musical masters of melancholy with songs like 'The Winner Takes It All', or 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', 'One Of Us", but whatever the theme they choose, it's always so wonderful and melodic. 'Thank You For The Music" that one is more happy! Enjoy and thank you for your reaction once more ❣

    I am sure that ABBA do not want you to react to their song, since you previously did a crying reaction to Russian war propaganda; Shaman. Both Björn and Benny (ABBA) are very much against Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, so please delete the reaction of this ABBA video! Björn and Benny would agree with me.
