Members of the group Os Quebradeiras, Gustavinho, Zelé, RK, and LC watched together the game between Brazil and South Korea in the round of 16 of the World Cup this Monday (5). When the team's first goal came out in the 4-1 victory, the quartet perhaps celebrated more than most.
There was a dose of surprise in the little dance broadcasted to the entire planet by the scorer, Vini Jr, accompanied by Neymar, Lucas Paquetá, and Raphinha. The quartet danced a part of the choreography of the band's most recent hit, "Pagodão do Birimbola".
"We didn't expect it because in the game against Switzerland, Vini Jr danced and then the referee annulled the goal."
The musicians are friends of Netinho, Vini Jr's brother, who kickstarted the score in Qatar. "Netinho likes our songs, they are easy to dance to", observes RK.
He is also grateful to Neymar. "He was the first to give us a chance. He did our little dance and it went viral on TikTok", he recalls. This attacker's video alone had more than 70 million views on the network. The sky is the limit.
