Now, the Colombian team will face Uruguay on July 10 at 8 PM. ET at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC for a spot in the final and a chance to win the men's soccer championship title.
During this journey, and throughout the history of Colombian football, music has been a constant source of inspiration for both the team and its fans. Inspired by this great triumph, we present five iconic songs to encourage the national team to the next phase.
Although there have been countless songs dedicated to the Colombian tricolor over the years, certain odes have remained with the fans of the Colombian team and have become timeless hits to cheer every time they play a game.
The list includes the official anthem for Copa America 2024: “El Ritmo Que Nos Une” by Ryan Castro with SOG and the Colombian national team. In fact, two of the players, striker Luis Diaz and midfielder Juan Fernando Quintero, make their debut in the song by rapping some lines, something that has never been seen before. Additionally, the entire group can be seen in the music video.
Other favorites include the so-called second Colombian anthem, the cumbia “Colombia Tierra Querida” by Lucho Bermudez and choc salsa “Ras Tas Tas”, which became popular during the 2014 World Cup and is now here to stay.
