"El Porompompero" is a rumba[1] written in 1960 by musician Juan Solano Pedrero and lyricists José Antonio Ochaíta and Xandro Valerio.[2] It was written for singer El Príncipe Gitano, but was not recorded at the time, and was recorded a year later. Then it was Manolo Escobar who first recorded and popularized it, with which it was his first success as a singer.[3] In 1962, it was part of the musical repertoire, but with a different version of the text, adapted for the film Los Guerrilleros directed by Pedro Luis Ramirez with El Escobar himself in the main role.[4] In 1970, "El Porompompero" performed by Manolo Escobar became the best-selling single in Spain, selling over a million copies.[5] In 1982, it was also part of the musical repertoire of the film Everything is Possible in Granada directed by Rafael Romero Marchent and starring Manolo Escobar.[4]
Many singers have made several versions in different languages. Among them are Sara Montiel, Marisol, Mina, or Enrico Macias in France.[6]
