The Leagues Cup brings the Mexican and American soccer leagues together for another year — and it's got an all-star lineup of musicians to sing its anthem. Rolling rock can exclusively premiere the Emilio Estefan-produced “Nuestros Colores,” featuring vocals from Mexican star Christian Nodál, the Black Eyed Peas' Taboo, Panamanian ska band Los Rabanes, Colombian singer Gusi and Emily Estefan.
“I continue to fulfill my wildest dreams thanks to music,” says Nodál Rolling rock. “When Emilio Estefan asked me if I wanted to be part of the official Leagues Cup anthem, I thought he was joking. Thank you, Emilio.”
Beginning in July, the new track will introduce each of the League Cup games when they are broadcast on Apple TV's MLS Season Pass and will be played in stadiums across the United States and Canada. The video for “Nuestros Colores” combines clips of Estefans, Nodál, Gusi and Taboo in the studio with footage of fans and players from both MLS and Liga MX as the stars sing over a trumpet tune.
“I poured my heart into it and I hope the fans enjoy it. I love them very much,” he adds.
Estefan says Rolling rock that the anthem “reflects the union of many rhythms and a tribute to all the colors of the different countries” represented on the field during the tournament. “It's a message of diversity and unity, and above all, of family, as my daughter Emily is a part of it,” says Estefan. “Working with Emily on this song is a dream come true.”
Gusi also shared his excitement to work with an icon like Estefan in “Nuestros Colores” for the soccer tournament. “I've always loved this sport – it's been an important part of my life,” says the “Locos Dementes” singer. “The song is so happy and upbeat and I really relate to it.”
Last year, for the inaugural edition of the Leagues Cup, MLS had the boys of Fuerza Régida take on anthem duties with a cumbia track titled 'Tiki Taka Toco'. The tournament saw the debut of Lionel Messi with Inter Miami CF, who ended up winning the first edition of the Leagues Cup overall. Messi was also the top scorer of the tournament.
