Music and Film Work
Understanding "Chipi Cha Cha"
In 2013, La Materialista released a song called "Chipi Cha Cha." Some people thought it sounded very similar to a song called "I Am the Best" by the Korean girl group 2NE1. Because of these comments, the music video for "Chipi Cha Cha" was taken off YouTube. Later, in 2015, it was put back online. It was then labeled as a cover song. This means it was her own version of an existing song.
La Materialista explained her side of the story. She said, "Sorry, I didn't think you would feel bad for me. It was an honor making a cover of the song with my lyrics."
