2024 Copa America: Ultimate Playlist for the Argentina-Colombia Final Match
The Argentina and Colombia national teams will face each other at the 2024 Copa America final match on Sunday (July 14), and Billboard is celebrating with the ultimate playlist.
Both teams have proven to be the best in the field since the soccer tournament began on June 20, eliminating other strong countries such as Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela. Now, renowned athletes such as Colombia’s James Rodriguez and Argentina’s Lionel Messi will battle it out at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., for the championship trophy. Argentina has won 15 Copa titles, while Colombia nabbed one in 2001.
Shakira has been confirmed to perform during the halftime show, marking the first time that the Colombian hitmaker will perform at the oldest national soccer tournament. Ahead of the big night, Billboard has compiled a 14-song playlist to enjoy ahead of the Argentina vs. Colombia game.
Soccer and music aficionados alike will be able to dance to a mix of Argentine and Colombian anthems, respectively, including the viral bangers Ryan Castro’s “El Que Nos Une” and La Mosca Tse Tse’s “Muchachos, Ahora Nos Volvimos a Ilusionar.”
Of the latter, Argentine artist Guillermo Novellis previously told Billboard: “It has to do with our frustrations, our successes, our hopes, Malvinas, finals lost and finals won. And of course to have the illusion of being champions again.”
Other emblematic tunes include Grupo Niche’s “Colombia, Mi Seleccion,” Diego Torres’ “Color Esperanza,” Cali Flow Latino’s “Ras Tas Tas,” and Andrés Calamaro’s “Maradona.”
Enjoy, and listen to the full playlist below.
