As soon as I find a good place to build it I will get started on it
right away and let everyone know the url when it is done.

Las Ketchup : "rire, chanter et s'éclater, on est d'abord là pour ça"
Passer un bon moment, tel est le maître mot de ces trois soeurs
andalouses, Pilar, Lucia et Lola en interview exclusive. Et elles
nous le prouvent bien évidemment par leur chanson, "Asereje"...

Salut les filles ! Alors, vous avez fait un tube mondial cet été qui
est arrivé directement a la première place du top 50 en France cet
automne. Que pensez-vous de ce succès ?
Pilar : "En fait, on ne s'y attendait pas du tout ! On a enregistre
la chanson sans véritable objectif ni en tirant en quelconque plan
sur la comète. Pas d'expectative et donc, pas de décepetion ! On a
juste eu l'idée de la chanson et de la publier, sans autres arrières
pensées."

Vous n'avez pas peur de vous enfermer, avec ce succès, comme le
groupes de jolies filles qui fait le tube de l'année et qui disparait
aussitôt ?
Lucia : "En fait, on n'a aucune appréhension. On est très contente de
voir que notre disque marche, mais surtout on sait que tout ce qui
monte très vite finit par descendre rapidement. La seule chose
vraiment importante, est que l'an dernier, on n'étaient pas connues
ou reconnues comme chanteuses, et aujourd'hui oui, le reste importe
peu !"

Quelle est l'histoire alors de cette chanson qui cartonne
actuellement ?
Lola : "L'histoire est simple, le mot "Asereje" ne veut absolument
rien dire !!! C'est juste une traduction phonétique de la
chanson "Rapper's Delight" de Sugar Hill Gang. Elle raconte
l'histoire de Diego, une sorte de pilier de discothèque, qui va voir
le DJ pour qu'il lui passe sa chanson préférée. Mais, comme il ne
connait pas le texte, alors il l'invente et se fait son propre
délire, et donc, il la chante a sa manière : "Asereje, ja deje,
dejebe tu dejebe, etc"... Pilar : "Certaines personnes ont parlé d'un
vocabulaire "ketchup", en fait, il n'y a que cette chanson dans notre
album chantée avec ce faux anglais. Masi l'idée de faire d'autres
chansons en reprenant cette idée n'est pas écartée..."

Sans oublier la chorégraphie...
Pilar : "Nous n'avons créé qu'une seule chorégraphie, et encore sur
le refrain de "Asejere", l'idée est venue spontanément, on a eu
toutes les trois la même idée, du coup on l'a gardée. Le reste de la
chanson se danse comme on veut.

Et l'histoire de votre nom de groupe ?
Lucia : "L'idée est venue de Pilar; Il y a deux ans, elle a commencé
a parler de nous en tant que las Ketchup... Et finalement, l'idée est
restée. Comme en plus notre père, qui est un célèbre guitariste de
flamanco et don le surnom est "Tomate", le nom nous a plus !!!"

Du fait que votre père est l'un des guitaristes de flameco les plus
célèbres au monde, vous avez toujours vécu dans le milieu du
spectacle. Former un groupe vous a semblé normal ?
Pilar : "Rien n'a été planifié, c'est parti d'un gag au début. On a
juste commencé a dire que nous étions Las Ketchup et tout s'est
enchaîné comme apr magie, du jour au lendemain on était en studio
puis très rapidement numéro 1 des ventes partout dans le monde ! Mon
vrai métier est actrice et je vis a Madrid."

Lucia : "Avant de chanter avec Las Ketchup, je chantais du
flamenco..."
Lola : "Mon métier lui, n'a rien a voir avec le monde du spectacle,
je suis responsable des ressources humaines...

I would be more than happy to add some of the very dedicated Las
Ketchup fans as co-moderators wich would give you(s) special club
privaleges but no one has given me a definite yes so I can add.  So I
thought I would post it here.  If anyone would like to be a co-
moderatot with me and help this club grow then please reply back and
let me know.


Take Care,
Allison

"The Daily Princetonian Ketchup and its discontents: A study in
cultural imperialism
----------------------------------------------------------------------
---

By MICHAEL FRAZER GS
Princetonian Columnist

Hip-hop and I were both born in the Bronx in the late seventies. Yet
while I have achieved little more than a masters' degree, hip-hop has
successfully conquered the world.

For certain of the globe's player-haters, this has not been a welcome
development. They consider the fact that one now hears the latest
single by Eminem blaring from car stereos on streets from Naples to
Novosibirsk as part of a larger phenomenon of American cultural
imperialism — akin to Hollywood's firm grip on the world's fantasies,
McDonald's corporate cleansing of the global palate, and so on.
Often, this is tied to an attack on American might more generally,
with Tom Cruise, Colonel Sanders and Dr. Dre emerging as mere foot
soldiers in an colossal conspiracy led by George Bush and Bill Gates
to achieve complete global domination of every element of human life.

This alleged cultural imperialism, however, often takes strange and
surprising forms. Consider, if you will, the song of the summer
throughout Europe and Latin America — a danceable little ditty by the
nonsensical name of "Asejeré" by a trio of Spanish sisters calling
themselves, of all things American, Las Ketchup. (Their father and
svengali calls himself Tomato.)

On a first listen, "Aserejé" sounds like another one of those
painfully catchy Spanish dance songs that becomes ridiculously
popular worldwide every few years, the Macarena of the new
millennium. But while the verses are the Spanish-language story of a
guy named Diego who's apparently very popular in the Iberian clubs,
the chorus is sheer gibberish. "Aserejé," the perky sisters keep
repeating, "ja deje tejebe tude jebere sebiunouba majabi an de bugui
an de buididipí." It doesn't take much beyond Spanish 101 to see
that "bugui an de buididipí" doesn't mean anything in any known
language, Pig Latin included.

Late one night this summer, after one too many Hefeweisens, I found
myself surrounded by a group of Spaniards in a Berlin bar trying to
figure out the mystery of that unintelligible chorus. In a flash of
recognition, a childhood memory came back to me of one of the first
hip-hop hits to make it on to the charts — "Rapper's Delight" by the
Sugar Hill Gang. Over a beat sampled from Queen, the gang
proclaims, "I say-a hip hop, hippie to the hippie, to the hip hip-
hop, and you don't stop the rocking, to the bang bang boogie, say up
jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat." Las Ketchup
had apparently tried to lift their lyrics from these old school
rhymes, but without the basic understanding of English which would be
required to do so successfully.

Think about the mix of cultures needed to produce the three and a
half minutes of rump-shaking pop boogie known as "Aserejé:" Jamaican
Kool Herc immigrates to the Bronx and introduces the Caribbean style
of toasting over scratched records to an inner city African-American
audience. Lifting a beat from a British band, themselves inspired by
an earlier tradition of black American music, a gang of Herc's
protégés achieve the first commercial success in this new genre.
Nearly a quarter century later, a Spanish family creates a new song
from this earlier inner-city hit. They name their group after the
quintessential American topping for Hamburg-style chopped steak
sandwiches and Belgian-style fried potatoes (usually mistaken for
French), both of which are marketed under a Scottish name. The sauce
itself had been introduced under the name of "ketjap" by Dutch
traders returning to New Amsterdam (later Kool Herc's hometown of New
York) from Malaysia in the eighteenth century. By the time all these
forces came together through the artistic genius of Las Ketchup,
however, Mexican-style salsa had recently become the best selling
condiment in the United States.

To be sure, America plays a unique role in this rather surreal
narrative. But it is only as a sort of meeting-place for cultural
material from elsewhere, which gets thrown together with the free-
wheeling abandon for which the US is famous and then sent back to the
rest of the world for further adaptation. The globalization of
culture is real, but insofar as this culture is distinctively
American, that is only because America has always been a
multicultural society, and hence a microcosm for the globe as a whole.

Or, as Las Ketchup put it so much more eloquently, aserejé ja deje
tejebe tude jebere sebiunouba majabi an de bugui an de buididipí.

MADRID (AFP) - The independent record label behind the three-woman
Spanish vocal group "Las Ketchup" is pursuing media giant Sony for
royalties.

Shaketown Music said that Sony, responsible for the promotion and
distribution of the group's hit album, had paid it for the rights on
only 200,000 of the more than two million albums and five million
singles sold around the world since July 2002, the El Pais newspaper
reported Friday.
Las Ketchup, discoverd by the independent label, toured the globe
with the hit song "Asereje", also known as "The Ketchup Song", and
won the "international revelation of the year" prize at the French
NRJ radio pop music awards in January 2002.
The chairman of Sony in Spain, Jose Maria Camara, acknowledged that
the hit had had "planetary success" but said that Sony had "acted
correctly" and would defend itself.

Ketchup in France

Hello All,

I wanted to write a quick note to welcome all new members and future
members.  I hope this club can grow pretty big an provide a place for
all Las Ketchup fans to Unite.  When I first started listening to Las
Ketchup I realized that there isn't very many english speaking
websites or clubs out there to support Las Ketchup.  And I feel like
they deserve more support.  So I started this club in hopes that Las
Ketchup will learn somehow and in some way that we still wanna hear
there music and hope that they continue to be successful for many
more years to come.  I apologize for making the club private and
making people be approved before joining the club.  I did this for
one main reason and that is in order to try and prevent spam.  To
many great clubs have gone under because of spam.  I hope this minor
hassle will be of great benefit to the club in the long run and help
to keep it open.  I can't promise when I will be able to update or
how often due many times to lack of news sources.  But I do promise
that I will always update this page whenever I get the latest news no
matter how big or small and even maybe older news that some news fans
may not have heard or read yet.  I have been working realy hard in
finding more good photos to put in the gallery so that it will grow
very big.  I hope to update it real soon with some more photos.  So
please keep checking back and let your friends know about this club.
Thanks for the support.  I not only appreciate the support for this
club but I am sure that Las Ketchup appreciates the support of there
album as well.

Sorry for all of the typos.  It has been a long day and I am pretty
tired.

Take Care,
Allison
