Story Behind The Song

As you probably know, the 2014 World Cup of Soccer / 2014 Copa do Mundo de Futebol in Brazil has become quite controversial for a number of reasons. "Heads Up! Heads Up!" / "Vai com Tudo de Cabeca!" is a music and video recording project designed to send a positive message and increase awareness about the importance of providing music education and sports education for all in the State of Bahia as well as other regions of Brazil. Unlike many other countries, Brazil does not have universal music and sports education in its schools and people are working to change this. Our objective is to transform the controversy about investments in the 2014 World Cup / 2014 Copa do Mundo and even the tournament itself into something positive and encouraging instead of something negative and damaging for Brazilians.

Song Description

The "Heads Up! Heads Up!" / "Vai com Tudo de Cabeca!" metaphor serves to remind everyone to use their heads not only in winning games but in succeeding in life as well. The song is the cornerstone of a new Kickstarter campaign you can learn about at www.orsbrasil.com Music education and sports education help people develop important skills and abilities such as self-discipline, collaboration, problem-solving, conflict resolution, mathematical reasoning, listening, leadership, planning, and more. Some of Salvador, Bahia's top musicians as well as musicians from other regions of Brazil and countries around the world are collaborating to record the song and produce a video clip of "Heads Up! Heads Up!" / "Vai com Tudo de Cabeca!". The song is being premiered during the 2014 World Cup / 2014 Copa do Mundo and the video is being recorded at numerous live performances of the song during June and July. I hope you will join with us in supporting this important initiative. Proceeds from the sale of the completed "Heads Up! Heads Up!" / "Vai com Tudo de Cabeca!" song and video and revenues from licensing of the song, video and intellectual property will go to the Western Illinois University Foundation and will be used to benefit various program components of "Expanding Music Education & Sports Education across Bahia" such as music education scholarships, student and professor exchanges, collection and distribution of used musical instruments, technical assistance and technology transfer.
