By Time

The members were Lucía, Lola and Pilar Muñoz, three sisters who named their group that way, in honor and as a nod to their father, the Córdoba guitarist Juan Muñoz, nicknamed “The Tomato.”

Likewise, they named their first album ‘Las hijas del Tomate’, in which curiously ‘Aserejé’ was the only song that they did not write.

The song was created by producer Manuel Ruiz ‘Queco’ Gómez, but, initially, it was going to be proposed to Remedios Amaya and the Gipsy Kings. ‘The Ketchups’ signed a contract with the man on their ‘Shaketown Music’ record label and, once the song was released, it became the hit of the summer.

The musical trio was characterized by offering a musical mix of flamenco and ‘Europop’ that paved the way for artists like Rosalía.

The dance that accompanied this single was also liked by the fans, which, today, is still seen at parties, even though 22 years have passed since its release.
