With less than a week before this year鈥檚 FIFA World Cup kicks off in Mexico City Stadium, Lopa Kothari drafts a selection of global folk and roots-based music celebrating the beautiful game. Among them are songs dedicated to some footballing greats: Manu Chao鈥檚 tribute to Argentine legend Diego Maradona and an ode to Cameroon鈥檚 Roger Milla from Congolese soukous musician P茅p茅 Kall茅.

Also, Mexican Institute of Sound, composer of the 鈥淢exico City Theme鈥� for the tournament, shares three tracks that inform his latest collaborative album with Meridian Brothers, offering a window into the tropical sounds of his home country in the early 1970s.
