FIFA World Cup chooses ‘Dar um Jeito (We Will Find A Way)’ as official anthem: Avicii, Carlos Santana, Wyclef Jean and Alexandre Pires are featured on the song. The song that was produced by the Grammy Award winner Ash Pournouri, will also be performed at the closing ceremony of the FIFA World Cup in Rio de Janeiro on July 13.
At the time of its release, Ash Pournouri said that : ‘In Portuguese ‘Dar Um Jeito’ means to find a way around obstacles and impossibilities. With this track, we wanted to send a message of optimism and opportunity with the music and the words…We wanted to create the biggest track in the world for the biggest event in the world’.
Avicii added: ‘To write for the official closing anthem of the FIFA World Cup is a huge honour as it’s the biggest event I can remember growing up. I gave it a ‘Samba meets my dance music’ sound which works perfectly for the positive spirit of the song.’
The official anthem is not to be confused with the official song of the massive soccer tournament, which is ‘We Are One (Ole Ola)’ by Pitbull with Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte (between us, an annoying song that unfortunately will fill my ears DURING A MONTH!).
