On June 10, 2014, Francesca Maria disseminated her most recent song, titled “partida.” On June 10, 2014, well-known songwriter and recording artist Francesca Maria released her new single, partida. The track features the silky vocals of brazilian singer and composer mikael “mika” mutti, and it was produced by mutti. The lively song that was inspired by the World Cup is sung in both English and Portuguese, and it is accompanied by batucada samba rhythms that are passionate, dramatic, and quick. The famed Italian music producers cisa & drooid are responsible for producing partida. They were also involved in the production of francesca maria’s previous successful song, dale dale. “partida pays tribute to Brazil, the nation that will be hosting the thrilling World Cup competition. partida brings together the components of brazil and soccer via the combination of indigenous brazilian instruments, rhythms, and melodies with European dancing sounds, as stated by Francesca Maria. She says, “Having a family filled with soccer enthusiasts, players, and even a few coaches when I was growing up in Italy is a proud heritage for me.” The Portuguese phrase “a vida é uma partida,” which translates to “life is a match,” encapsulates the spirit of soccer’s appreciation of teamwork and the competition between players. While Francesca Maria was filming Dale Dale in Brazil, she had an epiphany that eventually led to the writing of partida. Francesca Maria was inspired by the generosity, dignity, and pleasure of Brazil’s people and culture when she penned the melodies for partida. However, she required a Brazilian artist to bring the colors to life in order for the music to be considered real. The song was well suited to mika mutti’s voice. The main percussive element of partida is intended to make people want to dance, comparable to other classic songs with hard-hitting drums like magalenha by sergio mendes. In order for the song to accomplish this goal, the music team discussed ways to build a strong hook. They needed a stadium sound, so they gathered in a bunch of people ranging in age from seven all the way up to seventeen to capture the unmistakable “ehhhhhh, oh!” “as producers, we found it to be a wonderful and exciting task to come up with a new version of partida that had so many different components. “we sourced from everything — pots, cowbells, bottles, bowls, and anything else that might produce a distinctive percussion sound,” explain cisa and drooid. “we sourced from anything that could offer a unique percussive sound.” The popular song “dale dale” by Francesca Maria, Cisa, and Drooid has inspired people all around the globe to get up and sing and dance. According to Andreas Lautner, Director of A&R at Universal Publishing Production Music, “their ability to create world music by blending distinctly european electronic sounds with earthy, vibrant latin rhythms has an irresistible impact.” He continues by saying, “dale dale may be at the top of the charts, but I think that with partida, they have set the standard even higher.”
