I heard this song so often but had no idea who sang it. And there are a TON of songs with "Maria" in the title. After some internet and TH-cam searches, I finally found it. Thank you!
I know about Freestyle thanks to my parents that introduced me to this type of music, but this song in particular I remember my dad used to blast it in his car back in the 90's. I love 80's music and Freestyle, wish I lived during that era and not this one that sucks.
This song always reminds me of our 90’s house parties, and my friends in high school. Once they found out my middle name, they’d sing this to me in the hallways lol
2024 dudes don't sing no more everything is auto tuned now. nobody writes songs like this anymore meaningful words not a curse word or degrading words in sight and the beats the MF beats are 🔥🔥🔥 . this freestyle genre is very underrated. it's clean music every age group can listen to
NYC in the 80's...only thing I can say for sure is 1. You had to be there & 2. There will never be music like this again...these guys were in real love and sang about it, they took love seriously and treated women so much different from now a days rappers. Such a huge difference it's a shame
Yeah,I totally agree YO,TKA IS OUTTA SOUTH FLORIDA,RIGHT???That's what I thought,........WHERE do these people come up with New York,'N'Shit?!?!?!.........[BUNCH OF NUTTERS!!!!]....Right,Mate??....
@@donfuchs3502 I'm a Miamian, but the truth is: "The trio, hailing from New York City, were discovered when they sang at a Sweet Sixteen party in an East Harlem church in 1984. Record producer Joey Gardner, who was at the party, was impressed with the group, and got the group signed to Tommy Boy Records." and "All of TKA's members are of Puerto Rican descent. "
The 51 dislikes are the women who wish their names were "Maria..." 😂 Song is 🔥. Can't believe it's only got 119k views. Such a classic should be in the millions.... New generation is completely forgetting the roots.
Probably cuz TH-cam wasn’t around til 2006, but you know if we had TH-cam back in the day, freestyle views would be in the millions lol... cuz we only had 3 channels on tv... and we talked to people face to face... and we actually danced to music... we were occupied lol
I feel like this is what they called New School Freestyle, and unless I'm wrong, this song/beat inspired Kayel to make K7. At least the timing is right, cause this song came out at the end of Freestyle era, when it was dying out around 92... and then K7 appears right then in 1993.
Funny that “Maria” is pronounced so differently each time. “Murriah” “Moria” “Mauria” “Mah-rhea” “Ma-ree-ah” “Ma-ri-a” But did he got it right at the end? Which is your preference?
