La Cosquillita ("The Little Tickle") is the lead single of the seventh studio album Fogarate! by dominican superstar Juan Luis Guerra. It was released on June 21, 1994 by Karen Records.[1][2] The rural merengue (perico ripio) track was written and produced with the Dominican accordionist Francisco Ulloa and his band.[3] About the success of the track, Guerra stated "With the `perico ripiao' we are doing the same thing that we did with the `bachata,' breaking down the barriers that prevent it from reaching all of Dominican society, and then exporting it".[4] The song became Guerra's first number-one hit in his native Dominican Republic; and became a top-ten hit in Spain, Venezuela and the US Hot Latin Songs chart.
La Cosquillita receive positive reviews by the critics. The music video was ranked at number 4 on The Beat`s Top Ten World Best Music Video of 1994 list.[5] The song was a recipient of a Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) Latin Award in 1996.[6][7] It was included on Grandes Éxitos Juan Luis Guerra y 440.
