Football and music, a perfect combination that has existed since football first took its first steps in the United Kingdom. These two great passions of humanity are capable of crossing borders and, at the same time, uniting their fans across different eras. Because both, together, are timeless.
When we think of this combination, many styles and rhythms come to mind, all of which have converged in both directions. A clear example for everyone to understand is samba and Brazilian soccer, which the American country regards almost as a religion. The rhythm of the music is brought to its soccer fields by a multitude of players who fill the matches with imaginative dribbles.
The United Kingdom, the birthplace of football and a multitude of musical styles, boasts among its artists huge fans of the beautiful game. Like Oasis, the group formed by Liam and Noel Gallagher, true Manchester City supporters . " The Masterplan " is a song totally influenced by the team and is dedicated to LS Lowry , one of the most famous supporters in City's history.
Great musicians enjoyed football because they felt emotions similar to those their music offered. In an interview, Bob Marley, a great football fan, was asked why he loved it so much and what the sport meant to him. He laughed and replied: " Freedom! Football is freedom. "
