Sopa de Caracol

About Sopa de Caracol

"Sopa de Caracol" ("Conch Soup") is a song performed by Honduran musical ensemble Banda Blanca. The song was originally written by Belizean singer Hernan "Chico" Ramos, and translated to Spanish and the Garifuna language by Banda Blanca. It was released by EMI Latin in 1991 and achieved international success, peaking at number-one in the Billboard Top Latin Songs in the United States. The song included elements of garifuna and punta that has been used as a promotion for the chamagü (ladino) region of Honduras. Thanks to the song, Banda Blanca became the best-known Honduran band. The song debuted in the Billboard Top Latin Songs chart (formerly Hot Latin Tracks) chart at number 15 in the week of January 19, 1991, climbing to the top ten the following week. "Sopa de Caracol" peaked at number-one in March 16, 1991, replacing "Te Pareces Tanto a Él" by Chilean singer Myriam Hernández and being succeeded by "No Basta" by Venezuelan singer-songwriter Franco De Vita two weeks later. "Sopa de Caracol" ended 1991 as the fifth best performing Latin single of the year in the United States, was awarded the Silver Seagull at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival and received a Lo Nuestro Award nomination for Tropical/Salsa Song of the Year, which it lost to Juan Luis Guerra's "Burbujas de Amor". Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Banda Maguey, Los Flamers, Wilkins and Tony Camargo have also recorded cover versions of the track. more »
