New episode of Flamiguinhos takes an exciting journey through Flamengo's history
Moacyr Luz and Willian Arão participate in the video “A Alma de Campeão”, which also features illustrations and texts written by red-and-black fans
By Flamengo and Grajaú Films - inAfter completing two months on air and surpassing 2 million views, the children's channel Flamiguinhos releases its ninth music video, promising to thrill fans of all ages. The song "A Alma de Campeão" (The Soul of a Champion) will recall important moments in the club's history, filled with overcoming challenges, with a special focus on the "magical year" of 2019.
After the participation of midfielder Everton Ribeiro and full-back Rafinha, the star of the moment is Willian Arão. "I'm very happy to have been invited to participate in this episode of Flamiguinhos. It's an honor to be able to bring joy to the Flamengo children who are stuck at home during this quarantine period. Flamengo's history is one of overcoming obstacles and many glories. I'm proud to be a part of it," said Arão.
Singer and composer Moacyr Luz spoke about the joy of participating in a Flamiguinhos video. "Every day you live is always special, now, the moment I heard the children singing a song I wrote for a great passion, Flamengo, and as if that weren't enough, I'm also included in the excitement, moved me deeply," said Moacyr.
André Diniz, another composer of the song, commented on the new video. "We received many comments asking us to share a bit of the club's history with our children. So we had the idea of telling important moments in Flamengo's history in book format, which also serves as a reminder to parents to include reading in their little Flamengo fans' routines," he said.
The episode will air firsthand during FlaTV's live program, this Saturday (16), at 20 pm, when the composers and the player, in a chat, will talk about their careers and the details of the video's production. Immediately after the program, the content will be available on the Flamiguinhos channel.
Fan participation
Another new feature in this episode is the fan participation. The books that tell the club's story, titled "Once Upon a Time Flamengo" and "2019, The Magic Year," feature an illustration and text on each page, details that further enrich the clip.
"Our experience has been incredible since the launch, with the Nation always very engaged on our social media. We were able to repay some of the affection by giving this opportunity to artists from all over the country to participate in the project, most of them teenagers. It was also an honor to be able to count on texts from fans who write about their passion for Flamengo and, without a doubt, help cultivate an entire generation of Flamengo fans," commented Gustavo Oliveira, Flamengo's Vice President of Communications and Marketing.
Launched in March 2020, the Flamiguinhos channel already has over 90 subscribers and offers nine free songs, as well as some karaoke versions. In total, the videos have already received over 2,2 million views.
