One of Chayanne’s greatest anthems that we sing at the top of our lungs was performed before by someone else.
Since the beginning of his career, this Puerto Rican has been in charge of making all his fans fall in love with his impressive talent, as he is a very integral artist. Among his skills are that he is a composer, dancer, and actor, he also has a great charisma and good looks, which has made him rise as one of the most recognized and loved Latin artists.
The success of this artist is so great that it is estimated that he has sold between 15 and 40 million albums worldwide, making him one of the Latin artists with the highest number of sales worldwide. A merit he has more than earned.
All his achievements as an artist have dubbed him as “the father of Latin America”, who, for decades, has made us sing and dance in countless celebrations or everyday life in the Americas and outside the continent as well.
Chayanne’s Anthem That You Didn’t Know Is a Cover
In context, we can talk about his big hit “Provócame”. With this album and the success he had was resounding in the world of music, making him worthy of several Platinum Records. However, this song is a cover.
Chayanne’s version was so successful and well received that it became the theme song for an Argentine soap opera with the same name as the song, “Provócame”.
Now you may be wondering who the real creator of the hit “Provócame” is.
This famous song of the Puerto Rican artist is actually first performed by the Dutch singer René Froger, therefore the song’s original language is English and its name is “Nobody else” released in 1990 on the album Midnight man with Candy Dulfer as guest artist on saxophone.
But this singer, despite being the first interpreter of this song, the single is authored by two Dutch composers and producers Marcel Walterus Schimscheimer and John Van Katwijk.
However, there are differences between the two compositions, because despite being a cover, the Puerto Rican singer gave it certain arrangements and also a more Latin touch, accompanied by one of the famous choreographies, which as a good dancer, the Puerto Rican would be in charge of executing whenever he interpreted it.
