ABBA donated 50% of the royalties for Chiquitita to UNICEF (the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) from 1979 to 2014. In 2014 they decided that 100% of royalties for this song should go to UNICEF. As of September 2021, UNICEF had received $4.8 million from the royalties of this song to help little girls (Chiquititas) and boys all over the world.

The fact that ABBA wrote this song in the 70's and the fact that they shared the royalties with UNICEF, probes that the world was as sad and evil as now. The only difference is nowadays we have 8.000.000.000 people on Earth, and the number of children suffering from abuses is larger than then. That's all. Hunger, rape, violence, war, death... are things that Chiquititas of today share with Chiquititas of all times, including the 70's and 80's.

ABBA was the band that ignited my love for music as a kid in Sweden during the late 70's- early 80's. My parents bought me a portable cassetteplayer when I was 3 and gave me a tape with ABBA. I listened to it over and over as much as I could. Their music was and still is absolute magic. The wonderful harmonies between Anni Frids and Agnethas voices are so beautiful and uplifting. It was so cool to see these gentlemen react to this song. 😃

As a huge ABBA fan this made my heart so warm, I love these two gentlemen❤

I like how these guys have different but not completely polarised opinions of music and different generations of culture. It's nice to see them discussing their feelings together as it becomes more of an open conversation rather than just saying how they feel individually.

Abba was one of the few bands in the world that was able to elevate commercial music to the level of art. The compositional genius of Swedish artists is also amazing : simple but brilliant melodies for generations . Greetings from Poland

This is the most wholesome, beautiful and humble thing I have watched all week. It was like a movie scene, friends all together reminiscing and watching one of the greatest bands in the world. Different era, different traditions and cultures listening to a song about hope and happiness. This reaction literally sang to my heart. I love this conversation and I love these friends......

By the way, in the eastern region of my country, Bolivia, we usually say "chiquitita" instead of "chiquita" to refer to a little or small girl or thing and that's why the title of this song always sounded very familiar to us.

Who knew I would have so much in common with elderly Tribesmen from the other side of the world in a country so far away and different than mine. Fascinating that humans really are very similar when it comes to every day life and reactions, when no government or other group in power with all their agendas try to split us apart, for the sake of greed and money, hate and fear.

It is amazing to me how quality music effortlessly crosses any cultural or language barrier.

So glad to see our friend Chachaha back with us again. We have all missed him. And what a great song to welcome him back with. Abba has a universal appeal and wholesomeness that I knew he would appreciate. Can't wait for the next video

YOu can't deny the melody of this song is so happy and joyful and filling with emotional rises and falls!

Such wisdom from both these endearing men if all the peoples of the world thought like them ,we would all live in peace ,no matter colour or creed

The first time I heard this song I was around 10 years old. I am 57 now, and the song still creates an emotional reaction.

So very glad that Chacha is back and feeling better. There was something different about the light in his eyes today. They looked like they were they eyes of a young man, and made his face look more youthful. I don't know how to explain it any other way, but it seemed like a good thing. All my best to him, and all of you!

My first reaction when seeing the video title was like: there we go again, laughing about tribal people. I'm so glad I watched anyway and saw a sincere and honest reaction of impressed men, it also made the song brand new for myself, very touching!

ABBA is an acronim with the initials of their first names; initialy was two swedish couples too: A- Agnetha (blonde lead vocal) & B- Björn (guitarist and songwriter) B- Benny (pianist and songwriter) & A- Anni Frid (brunette lead vocal) (both couples separated before the breakup of the group in 1982) ABBA recording between 1972/1982, have a wonderful series of more than 20 worldwide hits, included nine #1 in UK: Waterloo Mamma Mia Fernando Dancing Queen Knowing me knowing you The name of the game Take a chance on me The winner takes it all Super trouper And after more than 35 years ABBA return to studio in 2017 and recording a full new album "Voyage" between 2017/2021 released in November 2021 and is a worldwide succes And in last May 2022 all four ABBA members asist to the premiere of the new Voyage concerts (with avatars of Theirself) in the new ABBA Arena at London UK (another greatest success,, with tickets on sale to November 2023) The ages of all ABBA members now is 72 Agnetha Fältskog ; 76 Benny Andersson 77 Björn Ulvaeus & Anni Frid (Frida) I hope to see more reactions to ABBA GOD bless you my best regards from Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷 South America

This song was my favorite of Abba's music. Ever since I was a little girl I loved it. Glad to have you back Abdul. I love hearing your insight on the music. You both are very wise men.💗

Nice to have Abdul back, can’t really watch any of these videos without his input. He has such a fascinating view on things

Chacha had a very thoughtful look throughout the music. ABBA's music is uplifting. I'm a big rock and metal fan, but ABBA have a special place. I can't explain it.

These two gentleman are wise and great. I only watched them tasting all kinds of food, but they know also their fair share about good music. Greetings from the Netherlands.

It is always a gift to see and hear these wise gentleman as they teach us how much in common we do have. Blessings my friends from Porto, Portugal.

Lovely reaction! 🤩 Just a little correction, the group itself formed in 1972, but the song and video are from 1979 😄

My sister and I listened to ABBA over and over when we were kids - bought new albums together with any Christmas or birthday money we received. Gave us joy through a difficult childhood as our mother struggled with mental illness and depression and eventually committed suicide in 1980, when I was 11. Even now, their music is uplifting since I have restarted listening after a hiatus. Though I do remember becoming reacquainted in my 20’s when another favourite band, Erasure put out “Abba-esque.” Then of course that helped kick start Mamma Mia! I got her tickets to that show when we lived in Toronto for her birthday. Now my favourite songs are, “Eagle” and “Day before you came.”

Just love the balance between the two gentlemen. One sits completly still yet the other surrender to the music, that is the power of Abbas music to move the soul. Marvelous reaction

So heart-warming how open, wise, respectful and curious about life these two gentlemen are. Love seeing them again ❤

The wisdom runs deep with these two.

Yes, 60, 70, 80 were the best times ever. The music was great. They all had so much meaning to it. I remember listening to ABBA in the early 70's. I'm glad these nice folks "eventually" got to hear their music. ABBA was a Swedish group but they knew to break out to the World level they had to do it in English.

Love is boundless, especially in music, and perfectly in ABBA, and these two gentlemen knows it!

EVERYone loves Abba. Good idea. No matter how many lame music reactions people ask you to do, you can always be sure most people will love Abba.

These sweet souls are so open & willing to understand other people's music & lyrics. How lovely

This is inspiring. You have bought so much to the table. For one, I was not a big ABBA fan - that song gave me chills.

i'm so glad to see you for first time with a great reaction to ABBA songs several things to say about "Chiquitita" (1979) Chiquitita" means 'little girl' (with affection) in spanish And the melody have a spanish tune, specialy by the acustic guitar But the center is the wonderful piano, like almost all ABBA songs "Chiquitita" is a beautiful song, it has hopeful lyrics, a melody that starts very soft with the blonde Agnetha's solo, then grows and explodes in a powerful chorus; Agnetha & Frida's vocal harmonies are of excellence It allows us to check how excellent singers Agnetha & Frida are and what harmonies of excellence they achieve. It stands out especially when they stretch the monosyllables with great quality and beauty "Chiquitita" was premiered especially for the UNICEF Concert (January 9, 1979, just 44 years ago!) and its royalties are eternal for UNICEF These is an official video filmed in Swizterland 1979 (ABBA goes for a TV Special) It's the only promotional video that ABBA made without Sweden "Chiquitita" was ABBA's greatest success in Latin America, that prompted ABBA to record it in Spanish, and its success was so extraordinary that in the following year ABBA recorded a full album with their best songs entirely in Spanish ("Chiquitita" in Spanish is the biggest ABBA hit in My country Argentina) Chiquitita" is in the Top 3 of all ABBA worldwide biggest hits, with 'Dancing Queen" and "Fernando", and it's a fantastic Masterpiece I hope to see you soon with more ABBA songs My best wishes from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷 South América
