The song was released in tandem with Pelé's 80th birthday.
Another exciting remix of 'Acredita No Véio (Listen To The Old Man)', the collaboration between legendary footballer Pelé and Rodrigo y Gabriela, has emerged. This time, Swedish stars Galantis have joined the fray.
Hot on the heels of Norman Cook’s first Fatboy Slim remix in three years, the floodlights now illuminate this Welcome-to-the-Sambadrome scorcher from Galantis.
Since their 2015 international breakthrough with ‘Runaway (You & I)', the Swedish duo have established themselves as one of hottest names in dance music. They have remixed Sam Smith, Selena Gomez and Ed Sheeran - to name just three - in the past three years. Galantis’ videos have been watched more than 1.2 billion times on YouTube.
The 'Acredita No Véio (Listen To The Old Man)' (Galantis Version) is released on Rodrigo y Gabriela's label Rubyworks.

“It was such an honor and privilege to work with Pelé!! Yes, THAT PELÉ !!!!," said Galantis of the collaboration. "One of the greatest athletes ever, and a truly legendary soccer player. Before we started working together, I had no idea Pelé was also a great songwriter with an AMAZING voice! This song was a great way to celebrate Pelé and his 80th birthday this year!”
