“Tango Dancers” passed the barrier of “Pharaohs” with great difficulty
The current edition of the World Cup is witnessing a number of songs associated with various teams’ victories, including Argentina’s ‘Fourth Star’ song.
The song became very popular after Argentina’s players sang it in the dressing room after their 3-2 victory over Egypt in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup at the Atlanta Stadium last Tuesday.
The song sparked controversy after its lyrics contained some political references, particularly regarding the Falkland Islands, which are disputed with Britain, and some even called for sanctions against the Argentine players because of it.
Radio Monte Carlo, France He interviewed Pablo Quintana, the Argentinian singer of “Palmetto” fame, to talk about the scenes of writing it months before the start of the World Cup.
“Six months ago, I was sitting at home thinking about how to combine my passion for football and music, and that’s how 4th Star was born,” Palmetto said. “This is the remake of Natalia Oreiro’s “No Regrets This Love”.
“I was thinking about Messi’s last World Cup, Maradona and his expulsion from the 1994 World Cup and the Falkland Islands, you know, we have a turbulent history.”
Palmetto also spoke about his feelings after watching Argentina’s players chant their words after the victory over Egypt, where he said: “This is my biggest source of pride, seeing how the players sing the song I wrote.”
He concluded. “I couldn’t live anything better than this. I was very happy and cried when I called my mom and friends. It is incredible happiness. We always dream of big things, but I never imagined that this song would have such an impact.”
The Argentine national team is preparing to meet Switzerland in the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup in the early hours of Sunday in Kansas City, USA.
