Musical Homage to Brazilian Football
Saturday, July 17th, 2010
Soul Spectrum blog have posted this wonderful mix of Brazilian music dedicated to the “beautiful game”. Brazil’s performance at the world cup this year was, as many people much more qualified than me have said, mediocre, but with some magical moments nonetheless. See Maicon’s goal below for an amazing example.
But what other country has music and football so intrinsically intertwined, especially if I think of England’s shockingly awful crimes against the football song. Anyway loads of quality footie tunes for your post-world cup comedown, just check out the track list and go to the site for a much more detailed look at the mix.
