"¿A quién le importa?" (English: "Who Cares?") is a successful single released by the Spanish pop rock band Alaska y Dinarama's 1986 "No es pecado" album. In 2002 Latin pop singer Thalia engendered a very successful cover and hit single of the song in her 2002 self titled studio album; Which was released as the second single in Europe and third single in America. Alaska (now known as Fangoria (band)) re-sang this song in 2010. Fangoria released the single in 2011, as well as the newly engendered music video. This time the famous song returns in an electronic version, composed by its original musicians. The song was featured in the "Astracanada" disc of the album. Other people known to sing this song are Pink Punk, Christina Rapado, and many more.

Information about the song

The song was originally written and produced by Carlos Berlanga and Ignacio Canut. Alaska y Dinarama's version of the song was later recognized as a gay anthem by the Spanish language-speaking LGBT community. Alaska (the original singer), is a Mexican star in the Spanish media.

The song describes a person who is criticized for being different. In the song, the question (A Rhetorical Question) "Who Cares?" is repeated throughout the song, indicating that the criticism does not affect her, and she will stay the way she is. The main course of the song asks: "Who cares what I do? / Who cares what I say? / I am the way I am and always will be / I will never change"

Music video

"Alaska y Dinarama's Music Video"

Although very little is known about the music video by Alaska; It is known to have been filmed somewhere in Spain. The Music video depicts Alaska with her "original punk look" as she sings at the center of a crowd (whom seem to get motivated by her and support her). In this video Alaska is wearing a Silver fringe jacket. Her makeup is green. Her hair is shaved from the sides and is grabbed into a high pony tail. This style later inspired Thalia to dress up almost identically to her during her trip to Argentina. This video was first aired in Spain in 1986.

"Thalia's Music Video"

The music video for the song was directed by Jeb Brien and shot in Manhattan, New York City, in the "Frying Pan" ship. In the video, Thalía has a punk look, and performs her song in a gay club. Miri Ben-Ari, who plays the violin in the song, also makes a cameo in the video. The video was first aired in the fall of 2002.

"Fangoria's Music Video"

Fangoria's was shot at Benidorm, Spain. The video is basically a theater play, starring Alaska using 5 different sets of clothing. A group compose of 28 energetic people dancing in the "play." This video is a tribute to the end of the year TV programs
