The details in Frida's delivery in the first verse are crazy: So many small sonic surprises and nuances in such a short time. It's timeless, it's iconic, it's unbelieveable. And, of course, the harmonies are great too 🙂

so happy to see you again return with ABBA songs "Fernando" (1976) is a soft ballad, so nice and beautiful The best is the beauty of their vocal harmonies, very soft at the whisper level but at a level of perfection, that explodes in a magic chorus I have compared it to "Chiquitita" (1979) because both songs have similarities and contrasts Both have the title in Spanish, and was recorded in spanish too (to the album in spanish "Gracias por la Música" In 1980) Both are pop ballads with an initial verse sung alone and from the second chorus in duet, with a very catchy and popular chorus (in my country Argentina are songs that we would sing in a circle of friends, because we all know their lyrics) The two videos show the contrast of fire and snow, night and day They were both very most worldwide successful, only behind "Dancing Queen" ABBA had already recorded "Dancing Queen" and it came from the success of "Mamma Mía" It was the manager who convinced them to record "Fernando" so as not to repeat the style (Frida had done it before in 1975 on her solo album in Swedish and it was a success, but with lyrics of a lovesong, and these to ABBA is a friendship story about mexican soldiers) The manager was right and everything was a success, one after another in that year 1976, with three singles #1 consecutives in UK Mamma Mía (2 weeks) Fernando (4 weeks) Dancing Queen (6 weeks) In addition, this variety of options had different results in each country. "Fernando" was a colossal success in Australia (14 weeks at #1 surpassed the "Hey Jude" mark) and 7 weeks at #1 in Germany "Dancing Queen" was 14 weeks #1 in Sweden and 6 weeks #1 in the U.K.and 8 weeks #1 in Australia Both were #1 in the U.S. but in various rankings: "Dancing Queen" on the Billboard and "Fernando" on Adult Contemporary The official video of "Fernando" was filmed in February 1976, with Dancing Queen the next day in these Official Video you could see: Bjorn & Benny, both in guitars Frida & Agnetha confronted both in frontal and profile images (repeating "Mamma Mia" technique used) premiering her gypsy style dress "Fernando" also was recorded in spanish in 1980, after the greatest succes of "Chiquitita" (1979) specialy in Latín Américan countries and a last comparation "Fernando" (1976) is first ABBA single with Frida in lead voice, and recorded in her solo album in Swedish (released before ABBA) as "S.O.S." (1975) is first ABBA single with Agnetha in lead voice, and recorded in her solo album in Swedish (released after ABBA) Thanks so much for these video and reaction I wish you a great week See you in the next My best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

Such an iconic sound they have. The drums have a "soldier-ish/war" feeling about it. The song itself is about the Mexican Revolution.

This song got some life again when it was played on That 70’s Show. Many of us old folks who may have pretended we didn’t like ABBA back in the day, can still recall the lyrics from most of their songs for some strange reason.

It’s about the US invasion to Mexico when we lost 60% of our territory and the border reduced to the “Rio Grande” which Mexicans still call Rio Bravo , many Mexicans were forced to cross that river , “though we never thought that we could lose , there’s no regret , if I had to do the same I would my friend Fernando “ .

1. You think of Waterloo probably because Waterloo was their first international hit; they won the Eurovision Song Contest with that song. 2. They are shown singing at a campfire. You don't usually bring a piano at the campfire. That's why Benny too is playing the guitar. 3. A suggestion. Please don't write lyrics under your video if the transcription is so horrible.

I think about Waterloo, too! I think they do a song called Waterloo that is near this on their Greatest Hits album. Maybe that's why?

Rio Grande means big river in Spanish so it could literally mean any big river.

Another Rio Grande for instance is in Brazil. The name means big river in Spanish, Portuguese and even old style Italian.
