A standard of the rumba repertoire, the song was reworked by Lázaro Rizo, a member of Pancho Quinto's group, as "Lenguasá", also known as "Tremendo chuchuchú", which was covered by Orquesta Revé on their successful 1991 album Mi salsa tiene sandunga.
The song was later recorded by Pancho Quinto, featuring Omar Sosa on piano, and it has since been covered by other rumba ensembles such as Grupo Mezcla and Rumberos de Cuba.
The song's satirical lyrics deal with gossip and social behaviors in a similar way to "Hipocresía y falsedad" by Ray Barretto, also released in 1970, as well as the poetry of Nicolás Guillén.
[5] In 1997, the song was included as the opener of Pancho Quinto's critically acclaimed debut album "En el solar la cueva del humo".
[6] Quinto's rendition has been described as "a rousing rumba that gets a little added muscle from the piano of Omar Sosa, Rahsaan Frederick's bass and the tres of the album's producer, Greg Landau".
