Does Anyone Know a Song, Possibly from Spain, called “Chichiwa”?

My father-in-law came back from Spain singing this song called “Chichiwa”, and my 5 year old son loves it, but none of us know the words. Can anyone help? I’ve been trying to find it on the internet and there are references to it on a couple of Dutch websites, but no lyrics.
Hope someone can tell us more about it!
Sarah
If anyone can help out with this song, please comment below or email me.
Thanks!
Lisa
UPDATE: Maxine wrote to me that this song is in Spanish. She heard it while on vacation in Majorca. She wrote…
It starts off:
Compania (Hands go around head)
Brassand dah (Arms go outstretched)I then do not know the rest of the words, but the arms are then in a position to become some sort of creature… where the verse is Chichiwa, chichiwa, chichiwa wa wa
I’ve written to the holiday company on the hope they can help!!

Hola Sarah:
Soy Argentina y me llamo Ana. La canciòn a que te referís es de un personaje llamado Piñón Fijo. Es un muy conocido payaso argentino que ha tenido muchos programas para niños.
Podrás seguramente encontrar la letra de Chu chu wa (no se bien como escribirlo ya que es simplemente un sonido) en la página de Piñón Fijo http://www.pinonfijo.com.ar
La canción empieza así:
Compañía, brazos tendidos (o extendidos), puños cerrados etc.. etc..luego el estribillo Chu chu wa y le van agregando más acciones como hombros para atrás , cabeza para atrás etc.. etc..
A los chicos les divierte mucho.
Seguramente también encontrarás la música en la misma página.
Existen varios CDs de música editados por Piñón Fijo que quizás puedas comprar por Internet.
Mucha suerte.
Ana

Dear Sarah:
I’m so sorry I’ve wrote in Spanish. Now I do it in English. The song Chu chu wa (I really do not konw how to write because it’s only a sound) belongs to an Argentine clown called Piñon Fijo. Look for the song on his web page http://www.pinonfijo.com.ar. He has tv programs for children and many CDs full of songs. Children like him very much. Good luck. Ana

If you use Bearshare to download MP3s then type in Chichiwa in the
search facility on Bearshare and you will get the right version that
your father-in-law sang when he returned from Spain. You can then
save it in to your files and play it back as an MP3.

I note that people are still asking about song CHU CHUA. It was perfomed by an Argentinian Clown, known as PINON FICHO.
The best place to find his stuff is on You Tube.
Best version I have found is by a band called, Brigada Bum.
They sing the song and have all the actions to accompany same, again on You Tube.
Hope this helps all the Fans of the song.

Janice; the song you refer to (esta no,no, esta no, no, no?) is called “Veo Veo” by various artists

We heard chichiwa in Ibiza and it is very catchy , i played it on the radio here in the UK and have had my listeners complaining that they can’t stop humming it .
I’m surprised no one has done it in english :-)
