Business complaint causes arrest of Mexican team in Miss Universe

40 years after the Mexico 86 World Cup, the music that accompanied the sporting event is still alive in vinyl and memories. Some of those songs, today considered rarities, sell for more than a thousand pesos on social networks. Fortunately, YouTube allows you to relive them.

The melodies that gave rhythm to the World Cup

The organization called a contest to choose the official theme. Grupo Copal won with “Bienvenidos,” a fusion of pop and folklore that promoted fraternity. The letter said:

“The door is open, the soul is ready”

There was an English version performed by Joe Hood, who never recorded again.

The Chilean Juan Carlos Abara composed “México 86”. The phrase “the world united by a ball” became emblematic. Emilio Azcárraga rejected the first version due to lack of emotion, necessary after the 1985 earthquake. Abara then wrote:

“My land that is dressed in history and tradition, offers its proud heart to those who love it”

The Pique mascot, a jalapeño pepper with a hat, had its own theme. The children repeated:

“The goal is the joy of the 86 World Cup, confidence in sport that is my Mexico”

The 45 rpm record was sold in newsstands as Disco Poster.

“Siquitibum (To the rhythm of the World Cup)” by Nacho Golacho took advantage of the popular support. The song included a young woman named Mar Castro, who cut out her shirt and it went viral. Nacho Golacho offered shows in various parts of Mexico City.

Finally, “Adelante México” was performed by players of the Mexican National Team. Among them, Javier Aguirre, Javier Hernández (father of Chicharito), Carlos Hermosillo, Miguel España, Tomás Boy and Fernando Quirarte. The song said:

“The tricolor team has a lot of heart and they will show it on the field”

It is said that only Carlos de los Cobos tuned. After beating Bulgaria in the round of 16, Televisa released a promotional video. The album included “The Green Wave” on its B side, also sung by the team.

Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons once again challenged conventions. At Milan Fashion Week they presented a collection that takes jeans as a starting point, but transforms them into leather and technical fabrics. The goal: create a uniform for the street, not just the fashion aisles.

“Sometimes you just realize that you need a good pomodoro pasta,” Simons said before the show, referring to that Italian food staple.

The collection

Fitted and short jackets, five-pocket pants, timeless blazers and leather blouson jackets. That’s Prada’s new uniform for next spring and summer. Although the inspiration was denim, the designer confessed that she has never worn a pair in her life. Simons, for his part, acknowledged that he only recently returned to that classic after two decades of wearing wool pants year-round.

Most looks were realized in luxurious, soft leather, in monochromes of antique white, grey, burgundy or turquoise. To the rhythm of rock guitar riffs, some outfits appeared in an almost transparent white technical fabric, ideal for the recent heat wave in Europe. Only a few final looks used authentic denim.

Universal pieces, according to Prada, which sought to avoid the “useless design” that, it said, is “a lot of what’s there” on other runways. Simons explained that they wanted to reconnect fashion with the way people actually dress: “Some of the strongest ideas came from the street, not from luxury brands.”

Luxury guests included Anthony Edwards, Troye Sivan, the group ENHYPEN and Louis Partridge. Throngs of fans endured the heat to see them. The collection, with a lot of white, is committed to peace and hope, breaking the perception of typical luxury in high fashion.

Gloria Trevi turned the National Auditorium into a space for celebration and remembrance. The artist offered a concert that paid tribute to Jenni Rivera, one of the most emblematic figures of regional Mexican music.

He entered the stage amidst smoke and guitar chords, with an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe on his chest. He started with “Old Shoes” and immediately his 10 thousand followers stood up. The euphoria was constant: his every gesture provoked applause and shouts.

Moments of emotion

When songs like “The potato without ketchup” began, Trevi removed the religious image out of respect. Then came “Try it to me”, “Dressed in sugar” and “I laugh at you”, where she showed her most uninhibited side.

The climax came when he introduced Jacqie Rivera, daughter of his friend Jenni. Together they performed “A hug.” Jacqie could barely sing from the emotion; Trevi hugged her and gave her a second voice while images of the Diva de la Banda with her family were projected on screens.

“I want to thank you for opening this place to me, I really did feel my mother’s presence. Thank you very much for keeping the memory of that woman alive, of our mother. She always said that the love of the stage, of her audience, was not compared to anything else,” said Jacqie, accompanied by her sisters Chiquis and Jenicka.

National pride and vibrant closure

With mariachi, Trevi performed “That female is bad” and “Let them suffer with what I enjoy.” He shouted “Long live Mexico, bastards!” and he put on the charro hat to sing “La ley del monte”, “El ingrato” and, through a video, “Porqué me haces cry” with Juan Gabriel. He invited Omar Chaparro to “Go back, go back.”

The finale came with “You Didn’t Want to Hurt Me” and “Loose Hair.” The stage was filled with fans. After a brief darkness, the attendees’ crowns of light illuminated the room. The audience asked for more and Trevi responded with “How I Love You”, “Everyone Looks at Me”, “Dr. Psychiatrist” and “Tomorrow”.
