Wilted tomatoes: what the performers of the hit zero The Ketchup Song look like now

The Ketchup Song (or Asereje in the Spanish version) was released in July 2002, at the height of beach and open-air disco season. And immediately became the number one hit of the summer.

The song was performed by the Muñoz sisters: Pilar, Lola and Lucia and Rocío. By the way, only the first three were filmed in the video – Rocio was then on maternity leave.

The girls had music in their blood, as their father, Jose Fernandez Torres, is a well-known flamenco guitarist in Spain. In the name of the group, family continuity is also visible – the stage nickname of the father of the singers “Tomato”.

They took the music industry by storm. Upon its release, the song immediately topped the charts in twenty-six countries, selling over seven million copies!

In November of the same year, the girls released another single, Kusha Las Payas, but it did not become a hit again.

As soon as they appeared on the world scene, they immediately disappeared! The sisters devoted themselves to family and children and returned to show business only in 2006, when they went to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Un Blodymary. This time the fourth sister, Rocío, also joined the group. The comeback wasn’t too successful as the song only finished 21st out of 24.

After this setback, the members of Las Ketchup returned to family life, but in 2016 they returned to the stage and performed their main hit during the semi-final of the Swedish Melodifestivalen, and a year later they gave a concert at the Mexico! In 2019, still as a trio, they toured Spain and Bulgaria to the delight of their fans. They continue to perform today, however, they still cannot please the audience with new hits, and the number of fans has long decreased – just over six thousand users subscribed to them on social networks.
