From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

La Cucharita se me perdio is a song that hit the charts in Colombia during the early 1980's. The song is in the style of the traditional "carranguera" music native to the rural lands of central Colombia, a folk music genre analogous to the "country" music that is indogenous to the U.S. The author, Jorge Veloza, is famous within the country for this and other songs that became popular among the Colombian people.

The song tells the story of a man who loses his beloved spoon and hopes his friend gives him a spoon that is the same.
