14 DAY TRIAL // Sony Entertainment has announced that the official World Cup Anthem from the football event taking place in Brazil is going to be performed by a mixture of artists. Avicii, Carlos Santana and Wyclef Jean are going to partner up with local singer Alexandre Pires to perform the song called “Dar Um Jeito (We Will Find a Way).”
The song has been penned by the two-time Grammy-nominee Ash Pournouri and, much like the previous version, is going to feature a mixture of international and local acts.
“In Portuguese Dar Um Jeito means to find a way around obstacles and impossibilities,” Pournouri said in a statement. “With this track, we wanted to send a message of optimism and opportunity with the music and the words.”
The track is going to be performed live at the closing ceremony of the World Cup, according to Billboard, which is going to take place in Rio de Janeiro, on July 13.
Among the other acts billed to perform at the World Cup are Pitbull and Jennifer Lopes, who already previewed their song at South by Southwest Festival earlier this month. Their performance of the “We Are One” song will be made together with the Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte.
