5 songs to celebrate the Colombian national team
On July 6, the Colombian national team achieved a stunning 5-0 victory over Panama in the quarterfinals of the Conmebol Copa América 2024.
Now the Colombian team will face Uruguay on July 10 at 8:00 p.m. ET at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, for a spot in the final and a chance to win the men’s soccer championship.
Throughout this journey and throughout the history of Colombian football, music has been a constant source of inspiration for the team and its fans. Inspired by this great triumph, we present five emblematic songs to cheer on the national team in the next phase.
Although countless songs have been dedicated to the Colombian tricolor over the years, some odes have remained in the memory of the fans of the Colombian team and have become timeless hits that they cheer at every match.
The list includes the official anthem of the Copa América 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 never seen before. In addition, the entire team can be seen in the music video.
Other favourites are the so-called second Colombian anthem, the cumbia “Colombia Tierra Querida” by Lucho Bermudez, and the Salsa chokehold “Ras Tas Tas”, which became popular during the 2014 World Cup and is now here to stay.
Here we recommend five songs to celebrate the Colombian national football team:

“Dice ras tas tas tas, tas tas tas/ Gol Dice from Colombia” is part of the text of this infectious Salsa chokeholdwhich became one of the national team’s signature songs during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, when players celebrated their goals by dancing to the rhythm of the song.
