Lopez described "On the Floor" as an evolution of her classic sound and as something which sounded very current. Interpolated within the song are recurrent elements of the Bolivian composition " Llorando se fue " written by Gonzalo and Ulises Hermosa of Los Kjarkasa composition that gained notoriety when it was sampled by Kaoma in their single " Lambada ". Its development was motivated by Lopez's Latin heritage and pays homage to her career-beginnings as a dancer. It is an up-tempo electro-house and dance-pop song with a common time tempo of beats per minute. But it still carries a hint of its peculiar history: a traveler that voyaged out so far and changed so much that its parents had to struggle to reclaim it.īelow, watch J.Featuring American rapper Pitbullit was released by Island Records on February 8,as the lead single from the album. Lo's version never gets past the first line of the original tune. The peculiar phrasing of "Llorando Se Fue" has been straightened out to a foursquare club beat J.
In the middle of Lopez and rapper Pitbull's paean to globetrotting and dancing, we hear a fragment of its melody again and again, sometimes in her voice singing in English, or just singing "la la la", sometimes doubled by the accordion that first brought it to international attention. The Hermosa brothers eventually caught wind of Kaoma's "Lambada"-how could they escape it? And now the Hermosa brothers' tune has returned to the American pop charts. It is, in fact, a cover of "Llorando se fue," with its original Spanish lyrics and pan-pipes more or less intact. Released in with a gigantic publicity push, "Lambada" became a huge worldwide hit. Its original writing credit was the suitably Brazilian-sounding Chico de Oliviera. A French producer named Olivier Lamotte d'Incamps apparently heard "Chorando Se Foi" on a trip to Brazil inand saw a bunch of young people doing a dance they called lambada.
That video linked above was made a bit later, but it's worth watching for its ridiculous karaoke-laserdisc production values. You probably don't know their names, but it's a sure thing you've heard at least one of their melodies.
