Expanded information?Opening of the 2014 FIFA World Cup: the Brazilian culture & soccer culture is wonderful
Music and soccer have an unbreakable bond. Almost every World Cup since the 1990s has left people with unforgettable classic soccer songs.
For example, the theme song of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, "Top of Life", is both deep and distant in style, full of a heavy sense of history like classical music. 2010, the song "Wahka Wahka Wahka", which was written and produced by the famous Latin singer, Shakira, was chosen as the official theme song of that year's World Cup in South Africa.
The 2014 Brazil World Cup theme song, "We Are Family," was performed by a trio of superstars, including U.S. rap star Pip Paul, Brazilian diva Claudia Leti and Latin diva Jennifer Lopez. Pip Paul said, "I am convinced that the power of this great sport and music will bring us together as one."
FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke highlighted Claudia Leti, the famous Brazilian singer and judge of The Voice of Brazil, saying, "I've been to Brazil many times, I've heard a lot of great Brazilian music, and I know that this country has a great musical tradition. It was a joy to have Brazilian singers involved in this song."
It is reported that this is the first time the World Cup has featured a theme song in the hip-hop rap style, which is very much in line with the musical preferences of the younger crowd.
