Pelé and Rodrigo y Gabriela bring Galantis into the game with their thrilling, sun-kissed version of 'Acredita no Véio' (Listen to the Old Man)
Superstar Swede’s join the Pelé 80th birthday part
“It was such an honour and privilege to work with Pelé!! Yes, THAT PELÉ !!!! One of the greatest athletes ever, and a truly legendary soccer player. Before we started working together, I had no idea Pelé was also a great songwriter with an AMAZING voice! This song was a great way to celebrate Pelé and his 80th birthday this year!” - Christian "Bloodshy" Karlsson, Galantis
It speaks volumes about the dance music community’s love of football, and for Pelé in particular, that we have another exciting remix of The Great Man’s collaboration with Grammy-winner’s Rodrigo y Gabriela: Acredita No Véio (Listen To The Old Man)
Hot on the fleet-footed heels of Norman Cook’s first Fatboy Slim remix in three years, the floodlights now illuminate this Welcome-to-the-Sambadrome scorcher from Sweden’s mighty Galantis.
The track continues to grow, with recent plays on both BBC Radio 2 and Capital Dance in the UK and support coming from stations all over the world - France, Columbia, Italy, Mexico and Brazil.
Since their 2015 international breakthrough with ‘Runaway (You & I), Swedish duo Galantis have established themselves as one of hottest names in dance music. They have remixed Sam Smith, Selena Gomez and Ed Sheeran - to name just three - in the past three years. Galantis’ videos have been watched more than 1.2 billion times on YouTube.
Acredita No Véio (Listen To The Old Man) (Galantis Version) is released on Rubyworks on Friday 11th December 2020.
