Jota may refer to:
Jota (born Lee Jonghwa on February 15, 1994) is a South Korean singer in the boygroup Madtown. The group debuted under the label J. Tune Camp in 2014. Jota is a rapper with skills in acrobatics. He appears on the sports variety TV show Cool Kiz on the Block for Judo and Volleyball. He appeared on Let's Go Dream Team 2 as a fixed member. Jota participated in Judo over eight years before having to quit because of an injury.
On September 24, 2014, J. Tune Camp announced the debut of their second boy group through a teaser image. This marks J. Tune Camp's boy group debut after 5 years, and group debut after 2 years (before Two X left J. Tune Camp). For the next two days, J. Tune Camp started introducing its members, including Moos and Buffy which are members of Pro C which debuted earlier. They started off with 3 members (namely Moos, Daewon and Lee Geon) on the first day and the remaining 4 members (namely Jota, Heojoon, Buffy and H.O) on the second day.
The jota (Spanish: [ˈxota]; Catalan: [ˈdʒɔta]; Aragonese: hota [ˈxota] or ixota [iˈʃota]; Asturian: xota [ˈʃota]; Galician: xota [ˈʃɔta]) is a genre of music and the associated dance known throughout Spain, most likely originating in Aragon. It varies by region, having a characteristic form in Aragon, Catalonia, Castile, Navarra, Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia, La Rioja, Murcia and Eastern Andalusia. Being a visual representation, the jota is danced and sung accompanied by castanets, and the interpreters tend to wear regional costumes. In Valencia, the jota was once danced during interment ceremonies.
The jota tends to have a 3/4 rhythm, although some authors maintain that the 6/8 is better adapted to the poetic and choreographic structure. For their interpretation, guitars, bandurrias, lutes, dulzaina, and drums are used in the Castilian style, while the Galicians use bagpipes, drums, and bombos. Theatrical versions are sung and danced with regional costumes and castanets, though such things are not used when dancing the jota in less formal settings. The content of the songs is quite diverse, from patriotism to religion to sexual exploits. In addition to this, the songs also have the effect of helping to generate a sense of local identity and cohesion.
You got the ticket babe
Yes yes yes you know
The desert could not hold
All the love that I have
In my heart for you
If I could spread it out across the sea
You know my love would cover it all
Ain't that a lotta love
For two hearts to have and hold
Now if the cooks in the kitchen
Had a dress as tight as yours
They would not need a fire
Ain't a word I could say
Just to describe your fine look

If the birds ever heard how sweet your voice was baby,
They'd pack up their song yeah
