Ryan Castro's song "EL RITMO QUE NOS UNE" featuring SOG and the Colombian National Team, is a vibrant anthem that captures the essence of Colombian football culture. The lyrics are a celebration of the unity and passion that football brings to the people of Colombia. The song opens with a call to action, urging listeners to turn on the radio and television to watch the national team play, emphasizing the communal experience of supporting La Selección.
The song is filled with references to the excitement and energy of a football match day. Lines like "Hoy es día de fútbol, fiesta y reggaeton" and "El pana está trayendo la fría" paint a picture of a festive atmosphere where neighbors gather, drinks are shared, and the streets are filled with joy and anticipation. The mention of specific players like Lucho Díaz and James Rodríguez adds a personal touch, highlighting the pride Colombians feel for their national team.
