"No tengo dinero" is a song by the Italian Italo disco duo Righeira from their 1983 debut album Righeira . It was written by Michael Righeira, the duo's backing vocalist and producers Carmelo La Bionda and Michelangelo La Bionda. [1] While not as successful as their earlier single, "Vamos a la playa", the song nonetheless achieved high popularity, hitting 12th place in Germany. [2] Much like their previous single, the song is written in Spanish because it was considered an unusual combination with electronic pop music, [3] and celebrating in spite of hardship (in this case poverty, as opposed to nuclear war).
In Italy, it reached the fifteenth position on the Musica e dischi chart. [4]
The music video for "No tengo dinero" was directed by Pierluigi de Mas, who had previously worked with Righeira in the videos for "Vamos a la playa" and "Luciano Serra Pilota" (1983). [5]
