Being a Swede growing up in the 70's and 80's Abba is a childhood memory where we stood in front of a mirror, with the handle from the jumping rope pretending being either Agneta or Frida.
I'm so glad with your return with reactions to ABBA songs, one of my 7 Wonders of ABBA! several things to say about "Chiquitita" and it's context in 1979 "Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, it has hopeful lyrics, a melody that starts very soft with Agnetha's solo, then grows and explodes in a powerful chorus; Agnetha and Anni Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence It allows us to check how excellent singers Agnetha and 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 composed especially for the UNICEF Concert, premiered that night (January 9, 1979) and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF These is a link of that worldwide event: czcams.com/video/oMIw_y9uRT8/video.html "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) These is the new official lyrics video of ABBA premieres yesterday! (with images in the background of the official video in Switzerland, at February 1979) I think that a next great reaction to ABBA songs could be Their first single: "People need love" (1972) because in a few days is the 50th anniversary of ABBA first single I give you the link to that historic moment when future ABBA appears together in TV: czcams.com/video/bFp29_-H6sE/video.html I wish to see you soon in another reactions to ABBA songs GOD bless you and stay safe My best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina
The quality of their music is outstanding. The piano alone in this song is absolutely gorgeous, not to mention the vocals and the overall sound. I love what they`ve done here with the video.
Cool, thank you Paul, I love it! I grew up with ABBA and loved them (and still do, the music is smart, positive, I love their voices!) and this song I know by heart, didn't need the lyrics! ;-) Yes, I also got nostalgic...! Love and peace to all!
Still fresh,A class and unsurpassed.Last summer youngsters made the song's piano outro a big TIK TOK trend that also caused the increase of the views to the original video on utube.A good reason to remind us on how good "it used to be" and teach us on how "it should be".
I first heard this song when ABBA sang it during a big television UNICEF benefit concert featuring the popular bands of the time. This was in early January, 1979 while I was in my second year at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho.
Amazing 🥲 it’s like reminiscing 7/8th grade AGAIN. Great 👍🏽 CHOICE 🙇🏻♀️🎧🎼🎶❤️👏🏽. Thank you for reviewing this SONG from ABBA. This POP group is timeless.
The rights to this song were donated to Unicef and have made millions of dollars for them. And Chiquitita became the biggest 'balcony song' during 2020 covid lockdown in Spain
Oh yeah you're right,inow i remember some videos had been uploaded,showing some Spanish neighbourhoods,with some "covid locked" people ,singing to the others from their balconies and then all together in unison.That was so moving, so sad but hopeful at the same time.
p.s.This song is still an hymn in a lot of Spanish speaking countries.Some kind of traditional anthem nowadays.Another fan informed us that even in Mexico this single was N01 there for over 30(!) weeks.
I am the biggest fan of ABBA..
I am waiting

Don't want to hate. But I believe us late '60's/70's children/adults lived the ultimate dream :)
@@Nerd4LifeTV I agree, I was born 1970. =)
