"María" is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin for his third studio album, A Medio Vivir (1995). The song was written by Ian Blake, Luis Gómez Escolar, and KC Porter, while the production was handled by Porter, Tom Vickers, and Steve Berkowitz. It was released by Sony Music Mexico as the second single from the album on November 21, 1995. A Spanish language flamenco, dance, and salsa song, it is about an attractive but dangerous woman called "María". Local DJ Pablo Flores remixed the song, turning it into an up-tempo samba tune in a house bassline. The remix version became more popular than the original one.

The song has received highly positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its production and catchy rhythm. The remix was ranked as one of the Greatest Latin Pop Songs of All Time by Rolling Stone, and was listed among the 11 remixes of classic Latin hits by Billboard. It is known as the song that launched the Latin and dance music crossover of the '90s. "María" was also commercially successful, becoming Martin's breakthrough song and his first international hit. It topped the charts in 20 countries and has sold over five million physical copies worldwide, earning the Guinness World Record for the biggest Latin hit. It has received several certifications, including diamond in France.

The first accompanying music videos for the original song and Pablo Flores remix were filmed in La Boca, and aired in 1995. A re-made version of the video for the remix was filmed in Paris and directed by Memo del Bosque. It aired in 1998 and depicts Martin walking around the city and dancing in the streets. To promote the song, Martin performed it on several television programs and award shows, including both the Grammy Awards and the Brit Awards in 2000. Multiple contestants on various music talent shows have covered the song, including Carlito Olivero.

Background and development

[edit]

In the beginning of Ricky Martin's career as a solo artist, Latin pop music was mainly made up of romantic ballads. When he was in Mexico, he discovered that Mexicans are very proud of their traditional music genre, Mariachi, and so he told his composer Draco Rosa: "We have to be proud of who we are. They have their thing in Mexico. Let's go with what we have in Puerto Rico." Therefore, he allowed himself "to go into a very Latin, African sound" on "María" and they created a mix of different Latin music genres.[1][2] He wrote about the recording in Me, his official autobiography:

On this song we fused Latin rhythms with pop, and it had a tempo and vibe that was distinct from everything else on the record, but it was also completely different from anything else I had ever done. I knew there was a certain amount of risk in releasing such different material, but the results spoke for themselves.[3]

Although Martin was satisfied with the track and he describes it as a song that he is "extremely proud of", the first time he played it for a record label executive, the man said: "Are you crazy? You have ruined your career! I can't believe you are showing me this. You're finished — this is going to be your last album." In an interview with Rolling Stone, he told the magazine that "everybody got scared. They said, 'What are you doing? This is the end of your career. [...] You do ballads, and now you're doing Latin sounds. The album is not going to work.'" As Martin wrote about it in Me, he remembers that it "felt completely surreal", couldn't believe what he was hearing, and he was "devastated".[1][3]

Even though he really "loved" the song, hearing those words from "a high-ranking label executive" made him doubt himself and the work he had done. He thought with himself: "This guy is not even a musician, so I'm sure he didn't have the slightest clue about what it takes to lock yourself up in a studio and make music, everything you go through, emotionally speaking." Since making music is "a very personal process" for Martin, he felt the executive was attacking him at one of his "most vulnerable moments", and so he "took everything he said very personally". Martin even imagined his career was over and he "would never again be able to make a record or perform live on a stage". But despite this fear, he remained silent and did not say anything to the executive or anyone else. He experienced a few days of anxiety, but after that, the boss of the executive selected the song to be released as a single.[3]

Music and lyrics

Musically, "María" is a Spanish-language flamenco,[4][5][6] dance,[7] and salsa song,[1][8][9] featuring elements of mariachi, samba, cumbia, Latin, African, Caribbean, and Latin pop.[13] It was written by Ian Blake, Luis Gómez Escolar, and KC Porter, while the production was handled by Porter, Tom Vickers, and Steve Berkowitz.[14] Also, American musician Draco Rosa joined the original version's lyricists to write the Spanglish radio edit version, which was remixed by Puerto Rican DJ Pablo Flores.[15] On the remix, Flores upped the tempo and the sex appeal of the song, turning the slow-burn flamenco laced track into an up-tempo samba tune in a house bassline.[4][16][17] Suzy Exposito from Rolling Stone described it as "an electrifying, techno-samba ode to a difficult woman".[18] According to the original song's sheet music on Musicnotes.com, "María" is composed in the key of G minor with a groove of 120 beats per minute.[19] Martin's vocals span from the low note of D4 to the high note of G5.[19] The album version track runs for a total of 4 minutes and 22 seconds,[20] while the Spanglish radio edit one runs for a total of 4 minutes and 31 seconds.[21]

Lyrically, the song is about an attractive but dangerous woman called "María". Upon release, there were rumors that the song is an ode to cocaine, with lyrics including, "Así es María / Blanca como el día / Pero es veneno si te quieres enamorar / Así es María / Tan caliente y fría / Que si te la bebes de seguro te va a matar" (This is Maria / White like the day / But it is poison, if you fall in love / This is Maria / So hot and cold / That if you drink it, it will surely kill you). During an interview with El Tiempo, Martin strongly denied the rumor and got angry about it: "I will never exalt drugs. María is a song that talks about Latina women and how addictive they can be, but does not mention or allude to drugs." He continued: "Latin women are capable of bringing any man who is seduced by her to their knees, but that has nothing to do with drugs and any comment made in that sense is, at least, malicious."[22][23][24]

Release and promotion

[edit]

Sony Music Mexico released "María" on CD on November 21, 1995, as the second single from Martin's third studio album, A Medio Vivir. It was included as the third track on the album, released September 12, 1995.[20][25] Later that year, Flores remixed the song and the remix version became more popular than the original.[16] In 1996 and 1997, a CD single, titled "(Un, Dos, Tres) Maria", which includes both album version and Pablo Flores remix, was released in several European countries such as France,[26] Germany,[27] Italy,[28] Spain,[29] and the United Kingdom.[4][30][31] Also in 1996, an extended play, titled Maria (Remixes), containing six remixes of the song was released in the United States.[17][32][33] In 1998, Sony Music Asia released a promo CD containing three versions of "María", and "The Cup of Life". Additionally, in the same year, Epic Records released "María" as a commercial CD single in Japan on March 25.[34] The song was also used as a musical backdrop for a television advertisement campaign for Japanese vehicle manufacture Suzuki in the same month.[4] In Australia, "María" was released as a double A-side single with "The Cup of Life" on June 1, 1998.[35] "María (Pablo Flores Spanglish Radio Edit)" was included as the 14th track on Martin's fifth studio album Ricky Martin, released May 11, 1999.[21]

Critical reception

[edit]

"María" has been met with widely positive reviews from music critics. Larry Flick from Billboard labeled the song "[a] rousing tribal anthem", and praised it for working "extremely well within the confines of a house bassline, which is iced, contrasting with the original cut's flashy horns and rave-ish synths". He described its chants as "infectious" and said that they "add fleshy fun to the spree of wriggling percussion".[17] Also from Billboard, Lucas Villa stated: "This is the Wepa! that launched the Latin and dance music crossover of the '90s."[16] Suzy Exposito from Rolling Stone noted that although Martin's American fans may remember him since his English-language crossover, "he had the rest of the world swooning upon the 1995 release of 'María'".[18] In another article, she named it a "megahit", the same as a writer of ¡Hola!.[36][37] Luca Mastinu from Optimagazine ranked it as one of Martin's five greatest hits and wrote: "'Un, dos, tres, un pasito pa'lante Maria' is the verse that we have all sung at least once in our life."[38] At Zeleb, an author labeled the track "a great song with capital letters" and stated: "If to a hit like this, we add a Latin hottie such as [...] Martin, with half hair and hips with impossible movements, it was clear that the world was going to dance that of 'Un pasito p'alante, María'."[39] Cristian Grosso from La Nación described "María" as catchy.[40] Toby Rose from Evening Standard wrote that it is "the summer holiday smash hit, the one that every bar and Eurodisco from Mykonos to Tenerife plays non-stop - the one that, however much you try you cannot stop yourself from humming".[41]

An author of Music & Media called the song an "excellent flamenco flavoured pop tune" and credited it as "a large step towards attaining the same status" as what Martin had in Latin America "in other parts of the world". Christophe Sabot, program director of French nationwide CHR network NRJ said that "Latin music is bound to enjoy a great future" and that he believes in "the rise of Latin music in Europe".[42] Music Week rated the song four out of five, viewing it as a "lively Latinpop stomper". The reviewer added, "Can the UK resist its racy rhythms? Probably not."[43] Los 40's Alejandro Gomez Lizarraga described it as "a very danceable song that does not fail at any party worth its salt".[44] Also from Los 40, Laura Coca labeled it "[a] legend", questioning, "who has not given everything with each and every one of its verses?",[45] and Ramon Redondo named it "one of the songs of the summer". He also celebrated its "highly catchy rhythm and lyrics".[46] Olivier Pérou from Le Point stated that with "María", Martin "with the face of an angel has even become an object of international fantasy" and "some have even learned, thanks to him, to count to three in Spanish".[47] Writing for O, The Oprah Magazine, Amanda Mitchell ranked the track as Martin's tenth best song on her 2019 list and complimented it as "undeniably catchy".[48] Also in 2020, MTV Argentina ranked it as one of Martin's best songs.[49] In 2022, Noelia Bertol from Cadena Dial listed oy among the "10 Ricky Martin songs that brighten up summers", labeling it "the jewel in the crown".[50]

Accolades

[edit]

In 2018, Cadena Dial hailed the song as the most famous song of the last 24 years.[51] In the same year, Rolling Stone ranked "María (Pablo Flores Remix)" as the 27th Greatest Latin Pop Song of All Time,[18] and in 2020, Billboard placed it on an unranked list of 11 remixes of classic Latin hits.[16] Also, according to ABC, "María" was voted the favorite song of the summer of all time in Spain, based on a study in 2011.[52] Amazon Music ranked the track as the 31st best-ever Latin hit.[53] It was recognized as one of the best-performing songs of the year at the 1997 BMI Latin Awards.[54]

Music videos

[edit]

The first accompanying music videos for the original song and Pablo Flores remix were filmed in La Boca, a barrio of Buenos Aires, Argentina. They were aired in 1995, and throughout them, Martin is seen with straight hair, blonde highlights, and a wide white shirt. He dances happily with the background of the tenements with colorful roofs and several neighbors as extras.[22][92] Following "(Un, Dos, Tres) María"'s success in France, a re-made version of the video for the Pablo Flores remix was filmed in Paris and directed by Memo del Bosque.[93] It was aired in 1998,[92] and shows Martin walking around Paris, from Montmartre to the Champs-Élysées. It depicts Martin counting on his fingers, which is similar to the lyrics of the song, "Un, dos, tres" (One, two, three). Maria was played by spanish model Laura Cisneros. The visual also shows Martin swaying to salsa tunes and making most of the women he meets in the streets crack. In a scene, he throws himself on the hood of a car, firmly determined to seduce the driver. The "grainy" music video continues with Martin's dance steps.[47][94] The last video is available on the singer's YouTube channel and has received over 175 million views, as of August 2021.[95] Cristal Mesa from mitú named the visual Martin's 24th best music video on her 2018 list,[94] and an author of Cultura Colectiva listed it among the "13 Videos to Appreciate Ricky Martin's Talent and Sickening Good Looks".[96]
