New Music: "Vida" by Ricky Martin for 2014 World Cup Album

Ricky Martin releases official video for "Vida"

Yesterday, Ricky Martin released the official video for "Vida," which will be included in the Official FIFA World Cup album, "One Love, One Rhythm."

The song was written by the winner of SuperSong global competition, Elijah King, who worked closely with Martin to record the final version of the track.

From Huffington Post:

The song's lyrics pay tribute to the international soccer tournament's ability to bring people from "every nation" together to celebrate and enjoy "la vida buena" (the good life). The video was filmed in Rio de Janeiro and was directed by Kátia Lund and Lívia Gama of Bossa Nova Films.

"I had a lot of fun flying to and shooting in Brazil," Martin said. "It an incredible feeling to be able to have the opportunity to participated in a global initiative like SuperSong. I very excited to finally be able to sing "Vida" and share this special song with the world."

Looking quite relaxed in shorts and a tank, Ricky sings along the beaches of the Brazilian city with approximately 100 extras -- kids, dancers, models, samba dancers and more that were carefully chosen to represent the diversity of the Brazilian people.
