The song was recorded in the 1950s by Ester Soré.[4][5] The song was the title track of Soré's 1959 album released by RCA Victor. On the version of the song included on the album, Soré was accompanied by Los Sembradores.[6] In 1991, Román and Soré were jointly recognized as fundamental figures of Chilean music. Soré's version of the song has enjoyed enduring popularity and was re-issued in digital format as a single on Amazon Music,[7] and as part of a compilation of Soré's greatest hits on Apple Music and Spotify.[8][9]
