Though the saya style, and the title of the song - which translates to вЂњCrying He/She LeftвЂќ - connotes a somewhat melancholy tone, вЂњLlorando Se FueвЂќ is nonetheless a danceable ballad, as the leading notes of the panflute encourage oneвЂ™s feet to move. The group performed it in the Afro-Bolivian style of saya, a slow and lamenting rhythm with African origin. Los KjarkasвЂ™ original version of the song was recorded and released in 1981 on their album Canto a La Mujer de Mi Pueblo. And though Don Omar, Jennifer Lopez, and Wisin y Yandel have undoubtedly found success through the song, the interpretation of Los KjarkasвЂ™ tune is a tale already spun many times over in fact, this particular melody, as well as this song, has been covered a multitude of times over the years. There are even instances in which the same classic melody from an older song appears on a number of recent singles-listen to reggaeton singer Don OmarвЂ™s вЂњTaboo,вЂќ Jennifer LopezвЂ™s вЂњOn the Floor,вЂќ or вЂњVen a Bailar,вЂќ and reggaeton/rap duo Wisin y YandelвЂ™s вЂњPan Pan.вЂќ In each song - the former two released last year and the latter two in 2006 - there is the same exact note progression in the refrain, coming from the song вЂњLlorando Se Fue,вЂќ by Bolivian folk group Los Kjarkas. In each contemporary version, the main hook is absolutely and unerringly the same as the song that had come before it, save a few changes made in the lyrics for commercial appeal (and probably copyright infringement). Take for example some recent hits, like American singer Jason DerulaвЂ™s song, вЂњDonвЂ™t Wanna Go Home,вЂќ which, if you canвЂ™t tell from the title, takes its chorus from the Harry Belafonte classic, вЂњDay-O.вЂќ Likewise is rapper Flo-RidaвЂ™s single, вЂњSpin Me Right Round,вЂќ similarly extracting the title and chorus of the eighties hit вЂњYou Spin Me Round,вЂќ by Dead or Alive. Yet as I hum along, I canвЂ™t help but realise that this вЂњlatestвЂќ hit is nothing fresh nor new at all - instead, itвЂ™s a melody from another popular song that had preceded it. It seems to be happening more and more every time I turn on the radio: the latest pop single begins to play, a passionate voice sings a catchy melody over electronic noises and beats, and my voice unashamedly joins in on what my ears are hearing.
