The Kansas City Chiefs are getting ready for its Week 1 matchup in Brazil.
Brazilian pop sensation Luísa Sonza has released a Portuguese version of the iconic fan song, "Red Kingdom," which is a "reimagined take on the song "originally created by Kansas City native and rap legend Tech N9ne, which has become a staple for Chiefs fans worldwide," according to a press release.
This project is described as a "cultural gateway, connecting the team with a new audience and building a community that extends beyond the stadium." The song is entirely in Portuguese.
“It’s so special to put my own touch on Tech N9ne’s song, which means so much to Chiefs fans. Mixing that pure Kansas City energy with Brazilian rhythms was such a unique experience. I can now say I’m officially part of the Chiefs family too. VaiChiefs!," Luísa Sonza said in a press release.
“’Red Kingdom’ has been at the heart of KC fandom for years now. I’m so happy to share my song withthe team I’ve always loved as they move to an even BIGGER global stage. And it’s beautiful hearing it re-imagined by a female artist who embodies a whole different culture and energy – L9VE where Luísa tookit!” The original song artist, Tech N9ne, said.
The Chiefs will face off against the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday, September 5, at 9 p.m. BRT, marking the second-ever regular-season game to be played in Brazil.
