Seville.- Antonio Romero Monge, member of the duo 'Los del Río' and creator of the song 'Macarena', has lamented this Friday that his music has been used by the White House, headquarters of the presidency of the United States, in a video distributed on social media with images of the bombings of Iran.

In statements to Canal Sur Televisión, Romero Monge, who is part of 'Los del Río' along with Rafael Ruiz, has said about their most famous song that "people can make it their own as they please", but that he composed it "to brighten the world's life, so that everyone is happy". The singer, who has stated that 33 years after its creation, 'Macarena' is still 'the most popular song in the world,' has joked imagining the possibility that, after its use by the White House, 'they will make it fashionable in funeral homes'. We recommend reading: Without humor, he added that upon seeing the video distributed by the White House of the bombings of Iranian facilities accompanied by the music of his 'Macarena,' he got goosebumps and wondered 'why they have to use such a nice thing' for that.
