You Are Gonna Wanna Dar Um Jeito for This One

So...since this World Cup is almost over (it is almost over, right?), it is time we look ahead at how that beloved-’round-the-world organization known as FIFA plans to wrap up its biggest party in 2014.

And that would be with a little help from Carlos Santana and Wyclef.

And Avicii.

And Alexandre Pires.

See, the four artists have come together to collaborate on Dar Um Jeito (We Will Find a Way), the official anthem of the tournament, which is not to be confused its official song, which came courtesy of Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, and Cláudia Leitte.

It’s a fun song, and what it lacks in J.Lo-infused sex appeal, it more than makes up in that it totally sounds like an Avicii track, but it also feels quite Santana-esque, in the best, rockin’ way, and it has some flavor thanks to Wyclef and, especially, Pires, who, you know...sings his part in Portuguese (#Brazil!).

You can see how the song sounds live when this unlikely quartet performs it during the World Cup closing ceremonies on July 13.
