The next year, the Brazilian pop singer Márcia Ferreira juiced up the rhythm of the Cuarteto Continental arrangement, translated Los Kjarkas' Spanish lyrics into Portugese, and recorded the song as "Chorando Se Foi." In Ferreira's version, she's still singing about crying, but you wouldn't know it from her come-hither delivery.

The Peruvian group El Cuarteto Continental, covered " Llorando Se Fue" in 1985, and turned the panpipe line of Los Kjarkas' version over to an accordion. (That video linked above was made a bit later, but it's worth watching for its ridiculous karaoke-laserdisc production values.) It takes a lot to make panpipes sound cool even outside of a música folklórica context, but they pulled it off. In 1981, the Hermosa brothers's folk group Los Kjarkas recorded an insanely catchy song called " Llorando Se Fue." Its lyrics are boilerplate stuff-"the one who made me cry is crying now"-but it's got a terrific, sneaky melody, with phrases that go on longer or shorter than they seem like they're about to, and a skipped beat near the end of the chorus. You probably don't know their names, but it's a sure thing you've heard at least one of their melodies. What do you think of the features on this track?
