Spanish girl band Las Ketchup unrecognisable as hit song goes TikTok viral 20 years on

Spanish girl group Las Ketchup look totally uncognisable 21 years after they found fame with their hit summer song.

The Ketchup Song has become a noughties heatwave classic and has recently made a comeback with the next generations on TikTok.

Their 2002 pop hit sold over seven million copies worldwide and the trio were founded by flamenco record producer Manuel “Queco” Ruiz.

Las Ketchup's three members are actually all sisters - Lucia, Lola and Pilar Munoz.

The hitmakers recently posted a pic of themselves together as a band again, where they look very different to their chart-topping days.

All three wore black tops and had left their long hair flowing.

The sisters looked glam as they posed for the snap to update their fans.

They wrote: “In Manchester we finished our work with our former manager, now we give way to a new stage.”

The Ketchup Song reached the top charts in countries across the world and even had an accompanying dance.

While their second single Kusha Las Payas didn't generate as much success.

The group then re-released The Ketchup Song later in the same year with a new video as a Christmas song.

A couple years later the band decided to take a break as Pilar had a baby.

Yet in 2006 they made a come back with their other sister Rocio to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest in Athens with the song Un Blodymary.

The song finished twenty-first with only 18 points.

The original trio said fourth sister Rocio was always a member of the band, but didn't appear in the promo material because she was pregnant.

After returning to family life, the band reformed in 2016 when they performed their hit at the semi-finals of Sweden’s pre-selection to the Eurovision Melodifestivalen and then in Mexico the following year.

The group has not released any singles since 2006, but still perform together publicly around Spain and other countries.

Las Ketchup also keep up to date with fans and can be found posting on Instagram to their 7,000 followers – including backstage snaps and tour dates.
