The hit song "La Rizos," performed by Las 2K and Chardo Chardemio, is a major success on platforms, especially on TikTok, where anyone has come across a video featuring the popular chorus that says "Dime si le comento a la pura."
However, where this song has particularly resonated is in Spain, where several artists have covered the lyrics to give it a different rhythm. But many listen to it and interpret it without understanding some of the Cuban expressions like "pura" or "palo."
"La Rizos" is at the top of the Spotify Spain Top Hits list.
"Tell me if I should mention to the pure one that I met a girl of short stature, with curly hair, a super cute face, and as for her body, it's just crazy," says the chorus of the song, which is at the top of the Éxitos España chart on Spotify. A testament to the song's great success in the country.
But what do "pura" and "palo" mean?
Although many Spaniards believe that instead of "pura," the lyrics of "La Rizos" say "luna," every Cuban knows that "pura" means mother, while the word "palo" means intimate relationship.
Additionally, another Cuban expression that the lyrics of "La Rizos" mention is "Tú me tienes frito," which means that the person is crazy about the other.
One of the most popular versions of "La Rizos" that we find on the platforms is by Grupo Asere, which added its flamenco touch to the song. Its video on TikTok has amassed millions of views, and its followers are loving the result.
Another Spanish singer who has been inspired by "La Rizos" for her music is the young Joana Santos, who in her song "La Rizos, Respuesta" responds to Las 2K and Chardo Chardemio, but says moon instead of pure.
Who are Las 2K and Chardo Chardemio?
Las 2K is a Cuban group formed by El Pitu and Un Jesu, as they identify themselves on Instagram.
On his part, the real name of the Cuban singer Chardo Chardemio is Elionai Mesa, and among his songs is also "Ño qué rico," which identifies the basis of the worldwide hit "Despacito."
