    'Chiquitita' means 'little girl' in spanish...
    The royalties from this song were donated to Unicef. To date, more than 4 million dollars in aid are estimated for boys and girls at social risk...
    They was 2 couples:
    🅰️ Agnetha (blond girl) &
    🅱️ Björn (guitar, songwriter) and
    🅱️ Benny (piano, songwriter) &
    🅰️ Anni-Frid (Frida, the other girl).
    The boys are mainly in charge of the lyrics, music and choruses... The girls are wonderful singers, whether together or separately.
    BEST ⭐ POP ⭐ BAND ⭐ EVER!
    HIT AFTER HIT 😃!
    Please try 'Knowing me knowing you'.
    Take care, ✌️
    Greetings ❤ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗😘👍

      Björn and Benny met in 1966, and worked together formally composing since 1969. That year is key, since also in 1969, the romantic relationship between Björn and Agnetha begins as well as the relationship between Benny and Frida.
      Agnetha and Björn married in 1971. ABBA began as a group in 1972 (not yet called as such, but with the 4 of them already recording together). Frida and Benny were always dating, but they did not marry until 1978.
      In 1980, Björn and Agnetha divorced. Frida and Benny divorced in 1981. The band continued to function as such until 1982.
      Almost 40 years later, they met in 2018 to make a couple of songs and ended up making a new album, finally released in 2021: 'Voyage'.
      That same year, the group also announced the "ABBA Voyage" digital concert that will feature digital 'ABBAtars' of the band's original members, in addition to featuring a live band of musicians. The show has been presented since May 2022 (the four attended the avant premiere of the show), in the 'Queen's Park' in London, in a venue built specifically for this purpose.

    I'm so glad to see you again with reaction to ABBA
    several things to say about "Chiquitita" (1979)
    Chiquitita" means '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 Agnetha & 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
    and Happy New Year
    *like an ABBA song from 1980

      @@shockwavereact An early ABBA ballad with Agnetha on lead I would say "I've been waiting for you is better (IMO) or "My love my life" just for the vocals.
      But ABBA have so many hits that are more upbeat and well known.
      So if I could make a suggestion that encapsulates ABBA I would go for "SOS" 1975 TV performance as it is a) a big hit and b) shows their stage presence without the modern choreographed showmanship.
      A big part of their appeal was their naturalness. .

    You REALLY need to listen to a lot more of Abba. There is a reason why they are one of the most successful and popular and meaningful (even today) pop groups that have ever existed. No "teeny boppers" but two married couples that formed the group - and all the problems and pleasures relationships involve. And 40 years after they "ended" they are back in digital avatars and as popular as ever.
