Los Morancos, originally known as Los Morancos de Triana, are a pair of Spanish comedians formed by brothers César and Jorge Cadaval. They originate from El Tardón, an area of Triana in Seville, Andalusia.[1]
Biography
[edit]César and Jorge started out with popular performances throughout Andalusia. They appeared on television for the first time on popular TVE game show Un, dos, tres... responda otra vez on 17 February 1984, starting with magazine reviews and as uncredited secondary characters in comedy sketches by Analía Gadé and Forges. At the end of that year they appeared on TVE's New Year show Viva 85, where they performed a spoof of flamenco performed in English, which made them known nationally. They stayed with Un, dos, tres... throughout 1985 and their spoofs of various celebrities made them rise to fame.
From 1989 until 1990 they appeared on the TVE variety show Pero ¿esto qué es?, where they continued with their short parodies of celebrities, around 10–15 minutes each. In 1992, they transitioned to the big screen as script writers for the film Sevilla Connection.
In 1994 they signed a golden handcuffs contract with TVE to make new programmes and specials where they always received a big audience. They also made their first New Year's special. Around the turn of the millennium they also ventured into theatre, performing numerous times in the Teatro Imperial in Seville.[2]
Their spoof of the O-Zone song Dragostea Din Tei, which they called Marica tú, became a hit across Hispanic America, and their refrain "Fiesta, fiesta, y pluma, pluma gay" became a Spanish-language gay anthem.
In 2017, their appearance on El Hormiguero was marked by their spoof of Justin Timberlake's single Can't Stop the Feeling! in which they pranked host Pablo Motos by convincing all the show's regulars to join them instead of him.[3][4]
