I suppose even anyone outside Brazil must have heard of Michel Teló by now – or his most famous hit Ai se eu te pego or the english version Oh, catch me if you can.
He joined the brazilian band Grupo Tradição in 1997 at the age of 16, making part of the band for eleven years as lead vocal. In 2008 he started his solo career with huge success in Brazil but his international fame came from the release of Ai se eu te pego, a No. 1 hit in many countries. The song gained international attention when Real Madrid’s players Ronaldo and Vieira danced to it after Ronaldo scored a goal. Since then, football goals and this song seem to have a match in heaven – a little bit like We are the champions and winning tournaments.
Now the match between his song and football players going crazy on the grass will be expanded by carnival entering the equation- with a samba version being released to allow the masses to dance in the streets.
His official version on youtube today has so far over 143 million hits – you can add a couple by clicking on http://youtu.be/hcm55lU9knw
